LED Strobe

LED Strobe for PIC12F629

Description This project functions as a simple strobe for driving an LED.  The use of an output transistor allows it to pulse the strobe LED with a current up to 100mA. Four jumpers provide options for changing the pulse width, strobe repeat interval and single or double strobe flash.  The programmer ready code has default

Writing Your First Program with PIC Microcontroller and Setting up Configuration Bits

This is the second tutorial of our PIC Tutorial Series. In our previous tutorial Getting started with PIC Microcontroller: Introduction to PIC and MPLABX, we learnt the basic stuff about our PIC microcontroller, we also installed the required software and purchased a new PicKit 3 programmer which we will be soon using. Now we are

Theory of LED dot matrix display

Basics of LED dot matrix display. Part 1. Theory using pic microcontoller

LED dot matrices are very popular means of displaying information as it allows both static and animated text and images. Perhaps, you have encountered them at gas stations displaying the gas prices, or in the public places and alongside highways, displaying advertisements on large dot matrix panels. In this experiment, we will discuss about the
