Recently js brought PR11 for hobby
there is question to ask and discus.

as i discover the PCB circuit :
why the 2x16 LCD pin 1(GND) pin 2 (Vcc) pin16(V-) are not connected ?
and after observe... the PCB circuit is not connected to ground.. if not mistaken ??

i think u can download and check the schematic.
its quite hard to clearly see the connection with bare eyes, especially multilayer pcb.
probably u can check with multimeter for the connection

Photo DeLETED 1
Photo Deleted 2

this is the PCB layout.... because i am going to modify the circuit to add-on other features by myself
so i need to learn or research how this PCB layout been draw and my modification can been carried on...

as the above figure show , the LCD PIN 1 until 16 ...
the PIN 1 , PIN 2 ,PIN 16 seen like not connected ..
or this LCD is common ground ?? or the double layer PCB ???

2. and the (-) from adaptor seen like not connected to any pin... or this is PCB layer problem ?


if the above PCB layout need to remove due to copyright of cytron, pls do inform me .. i wil remove it asap .

hi,

from the picture, its a double layer PCB.

pin no1 of the pcb is connected to gnd through the polygon pour. last pin of LCD also same connected to gnd through polygon pour.

pin 2 of LCD i think is connected to v+ on top layer.

pin - of adaptor connected on bottom layer to the polygon pour.

polygon pour ....thanks for the new knowledge.
and thanks for your reply , it helps me alot...
that mean the whole PCB is following the schematic to draw out .

You cannot determine the connection with just bare eye, normally you need to check with multimeter. :mrgreen:

//comparator setting
CMCON and CVRCON is needed to generate the pwm? what is its function in pwm? what it do?

u can easily find what is PWM by googling it.
u can refer the datasheet of PIC if u are using it, for the PWM generation.

What is your clue? Have you come out with anything?
just display your name before the infinity loop. You can put some delay after the name and before the infinity loop for the LCD to display the name for a few seconds.
