But its littl Ajay<contact@nospam.com> http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t9632.html Please check serial port programming in Tutorial section and download 8051 User manual for more details and study. That will help you a lot. Ajay<contact@nospam.com> http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t9632.html haha, thanks Ajay your're really nice. whats a crystal or reset circuits? issit a must to have such circuits to allow microcontroller to communicate yavin<rsboi88@nospam.com> http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t9632.html to clear your confusion, u need a microcontroller (which means like a microprocessor in your computer) which sits on a circuit board designed by you, nicholastyc<thamyc_2000@nospam.com> http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t9632.html Hi Yavin.....Some micros require an external crystal which sets the operating frequency for the micro.Some have internal RC oscillators and can do wit sashijoseph<sashijoseph@nospam.com> http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t9632.html hi thanks ppl for the help and those great links there.does that means that i MUST connect up my Reset and XTAL1, XTAL2 in order to let my microcontro yavin<rsboi88@nospam.com> http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t9632.html Hello Yavin,your are attempting a senior project in your first step !its like you are asking a girl to marry you on the very first look get around the Arun Kumar V<nura1002003@nospam.com> http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t9632.html yavin wrote ...does that means that i MUST connect up my Reset and XTAL1, XTAL2 in order to let my microcontroller run on the circuit? im still confus sashijoseph<sashijoseph@nospam.com> http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t9632.html i think i understood the connection for now. thanks alot.now is the hard part with programming.. its killing my braincells.. yavin<rsboi88@nospam.com> http://www.8051projects.net/forum-t9632.html
