PIC TypeAlthough a 16F627 PIC is specified in the assembly source code, a 16F627A, 16F628 or 16F628Acan be used without change. Most programmers even won’t blink an eye at the wronglyspecified device. If your particular programming software does whinge, just change theappropriate lines of code and reassemble.Rotary EncoderThe circuit diagram implies an optical or otherwise powered encoder. A simple mechanicalswitch type works equally well, ignoring any connection to +5V. There is no need <strong>for</strong> pull-upresistors, the PIC already has them enabled. However, to avoid contact bounce, two capacitorsacross the switch contacts will probably be needed. Use a value in the region 10 – 100nFTwo-Line LCDMany have asked if a 2-Line LCD module can be used insteadof the four line one shown. Thosewho have tried it reported it worked. The frequency and memory data is still shown. Only thehex register contents are missing.Startup MemA Issues (modification 2013/05/27)Several users reported incorrect recall of the Memory A value at switch on, resulting in a randomfrequency being loaded. This appeared to be particularly troublesome when mechanicalencoders were used with debounce capacitors.The problem appears to be caused by the INTF interrupt being enabled too soon, and corruptingthe values loaded from memory. As a quick fix, both INTF and the global interrupt have beenmoved to the end of the Startup routine which appears to have 99.8% cured the problem. Now,there may be a spurious but minor change of just one digit under the cursor at startup.
