MPLab Environment Microchip produces over 900 different development tools, including an integrated development environment, compilers, debuggers, programmers, and software and development boards for specific applications. Most of our software tools, including MPLAB IDE v8.92, have free download versions available and a free trial. Our comprehensive line of development tools is designed to work with or […]

Circuit Description The LED cube is made up from 125 LEDs arranged into 5 layers of 25 LEDs each.  The display itself is multiplexed so instead of requiring 125 connections it requires one to each of the five layers and 25 to each LED in a layer making a total of 30.  The cube is […]

Access over 100,000 CAD libraries, including schematic symbols, simulation models, and PCB footprints. Their unique technology exports to all major design tools. SnapEDA, the fastest and easiest way to find and share electronics design libraries, has introduced new export support for its popular computer-aided design (CAD) library and community. SnapEDA accelerates the electronic design process […]

Ambiq Micro, the leader in ultra-low power solutions, launched  the Apollo 2 Wearables and IoT Platform. The Platform offers breakthrough power consumption of under 10 μA/MHz, which allows for double the battery life in wearable devices. Apollo 2’s performance will lead to longer battery life, enhanced intelligence and improved functionality in wearables and IoT consumer […]

Led by solar photovoltaics, the market for harvesting energy from renewable sources is booming. At the simplest level, a single residence is equipped with a PV system, generating electricity for its own use, and feeding the excess back to the national grid. At the highest level are utility-scale PV plants and solar farms, contributing to […]

The perfect gift for any electronics enthusiast or student. Although small, the Key-Scope performs as a fully functional oscilloscope. ‘Key-Scope’ is our new developed digital storage oscilloscope for mobile measurement tasks and easy PC-Connection. The newly designed Key-Scope is based on the former released Wittig osziFOX initially offered in Germany 1993, also known in the […]

As it is Christmas time and I wanted to do a simple, cheap and fun project, which works as a development board at the same time, I created this X-mas tree. The project features an USB capable PIC16F1549 µC with: USB FS device 48 MHz internal Oscillator 2 PWM modules 10-bit ADC with Voltage Reference Integrated […]

When I started building Microcontroller projects I built a lot of them using the same PIC microcontroller board. These were based on the PIC18F1320 chip since I bought a lot of them. There are many other chips in the PIC family that would be equally well suited to the projects on this site. Be aware […]

As the title suggests, this guide is targeted for those who are new to the world of PIC microcontrollers. I cover the basics from hardware to software along with programming the device and a few hints along the way. I do assume a little bit of electronics knowledge – eg, reading circuit diagrams – I’m […]
