18F452 control of HDD or SmartMedia

lucky · Posted: Fri Sep 12, 2003 2:54 am

This is my first post so Hello all. I love the 18F452 & want to use one to control a Hard Disk Drive or SmartMedia card. For now I am just interested in reading data files from it not writing (if that makes it easyer). Has anybody written code to do this in CCS PIC C before? Any good links?

Anything will help.

Thank you!

Thanks Steve, This is good but I was hoping that someone someware would have written a simple CCS C class that I could include, tweak then allmost treat as a "Black Box".

Im just trying to avoid spending a long time doing what someone else has allready done.

Hello ljbeng,

I havent had much time to work on this project but I am just getting back into it after a long break. I am able to ID the CF & write & read data to & from the card but I need to do a little tidying before I release the code.

At the moment I have no FAT implementation but I may try to run FAT16 soon.

I will put all of my code so far on my website in the next few days. Then you can go there & download it & all of my supporting documents.

The address is www.Mpic3.com.

Please bear in mind that the site is not yet complete!
