Using PIC16f77 instead of PIC18F452

[Muhammad Usman Rahim]

hey can i use PIC16f77 in place of a PIC18f452

??

means can i burn the same C file in PIC16f77 (that i used in pic18) and then just place that pic16 to circuit in the place of 18f452

will it work ?? or i need to do any kind of changes in  hardware or software !!!!!

if  the code is accessing registers that is not available with the other PIC then it will not work.. better check the code if what is in there then compare..

You will have to change some of the coding. but not all of them. You should use the registers in PIC16F877A for the modifications. And you will not need to cahnge any hardware. Just check the Datasheets and compare if you are not sure.

 

But the PIC18F452 is more powerful than tha PIC16F877A. So i suggest you to use PIC18F452, because you could use it for some other project aswell when you are finished with your current one(if it is not permanant)
