Prototyping with Microcontrollers, Sensors, and Materials

Prototyping Prototyping involves the creation of an initial model of a product to conduct testing. Whether the product is intended for consumers, government entities, or businesses, it typically starts as a prototype, which may not include all the components or functionalities present in the final market-ready version. Prototypes act as proof of concept, demonstrating that […]

How to display 5Ă—8 and 5Ă—10 size font characters on 16Ă—2 lcd with 8 bit microcontrollers

How to display 5Ă—8 and 5Ă—10 size font characters on 16Ă—2 lcd with 8-bit microcontrollers

Character lcds can display character of font size 5×8 and 5×10. In 5xn, 5 represents number of coulombs and N represents number of rows. Character lcd’s especially which are controlled by Hitachi HD44780 controller can display 5×8 and 5×10 size font character. Some lcd’s can only display character in 5×8 font. In this project i

PICKITPLUS – A PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE THAT REVITALIZES THE OUTDATED PICKIT2 AND PICKIT3

PICKITPLUS – A PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE THAT REVITALIZES THE OUTDATED PICKIT2 AND PICKIT3

Microchip’s PICkit2 and PICkit3 are both In-Circuit Debugger/Programmers, designed for programming and debugging Microchip PIC microcontrollers (and occasionally EEPROMs). The PICkit2 programmer was released back in 2005, and allowed the user to program and debug most of the 8 and 16 bit PIC microcontrollers and dsPIC controllers as well. Its successor, the PICkit3 programmer, was released some years later.
