THE TEST ROUTINE
This is the Test Routine that comes with the PIC16F84 chip when supplied with the 5x7 Display kit.
Simply fit the chip to the completed project and switch on. The LEDs will illuminate individually, starting from the bottom left-hand LED and moving up the column. The 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th columns are also be tested in the same way.
The second test is a brightness test. All the LEDs come on at the same time in a scan routine, and any LEDs that appear dull should be replaced.
The third test is a Sound Test. It tests the piezo diaphragm with a set of notes.
Once you are satisfied with the performance of the project, the chip can be re-programmed with the experiments contained in the project. You will lose the Test Routine but if you want to run the Test Routine at a later date, it can be “re-burnt” into the chip by referring to the Test Routine on the disc.
The only feature we have not tested is the “burning” or “programming” capability of your project. This is the biggest test of all and the only way to test this feature is to “burn” or “download” the first experiment. The 5x7 Video Screen project has been tested on a number of different computers and the circuit is capable of accepting a wide range of voltages. The two indicator LEDs on the project will show if 5v is present via the 6v battery and the presence of 13v during programming.
