So many places to have problems.. How did you implement the delay? [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Something else to be aware of, glitches on the data pins going to the shift registers don't matter at all, unless they are accompanied by a transition on the clock line. Those glitches may be intentional, driving something else. They may be intentional, just to confuse reverse en

Ouch. PIC 16F parts do a read-modify-write on the IO port that a pin is on when you use the bsf/bcf instructions, so if you do a bsf PORTA,7 you'll read all of port A, set bit 7 and then write PORTA back out. This means that you could change any of the pins on PORTA depending upo

Check your scope ground. I use all kinds of different embedded processors, PICs included, and I've used the F877 with 'HC595's too with great success. What is your code doing and are you constants switching the DDR from inputs/outputs? How is your power rail? If it is bouncing ar

Don't use PWM output to drive the unit. Have you seen http://www.barello.net/Papers/GP2D02? The assembly code is complex since it multiplexes three sensors but at it's core it is simple, it does the clocking and shifting of data in s/w which is more than fast enough and easy to c
2006-08-31 by Dennis Clark
Let me give you some pointers. Having done this before on PICs. 1) Your bootloader and basic network control need to be in write protected memory and need to be the first thing that is touched upon reset. 2) Set a flag in non-volatile memory denoting whether a good or bad firmwar

You'd better use a very robust error detection/correction packet scheme. Wireless is inherently unreliable. Also, you'll need to be sure that your device can deal with a corrupted download and still be able to be put into "update" mode. There is no reason it can't be done, but I

I've written a simple bootloader as well : http://reza.net/avr/ There are a lot of options. Easiest is to use a tiny MCU to handle the RF IO and to relay the data to the main MCU via the tx/rx pins and some other IO to force the bootloader to come up (so you can recover from a fa
