Step 7Firmware
Firmware was written using mikroBasic freeware version. Current firmware is v0.1. Future firmwares will probably be written in C.
Configuration options are set in the firmware. They should be as follows:
MCLR - DISABLED
BODEN/BOREN - DISABLED
WDT - DISABLED
Oscillator -Internal Osc, NO clock-out.
I was unable to program the 16F913 with my favorite PIC programming software (WinPIC800), but DL4YHS' WinPIC worked great ( http://www.qsl.net/dl4yhf/winpicpr.html ).
v0.1
Configuration/Menu System - Menu options scroll across the display and are selected/advanced using the two input buttons.
Time - displays the time in binary (default when a button is pressed).
Klik - a counter. I, on occasion, find myself performing counts. Traffic counts, bird counts, whatever. The 01/\/atch subs as a binary counter.
Club Mode - The real value of any watch is determined by its 'club' mode. The 01/\/atch uses a random number generator to flash patterns on the LED display. Its also possible to include word fragments using the internal matrix font library (more to come). Speed can be adjusted with button 1. The ultimate club upgrade package would include a temperature sensor that controls the rate of pattern change. As the wearer heats up, the patterns change faster.
Volt - voltage meter. Currently shows the raw ADC reading in 10 bits. Will be upgraded to actual volt value in v0.2.
Set - Set time.
Exit - Exit menu, put PIC in sleep mode.

This thing is Brill!, I am going to try and make one, but where can I get the code to program the PIC chip?
