Make a Wireless Thermometer with a PIC Microcontroller

ntroduction In this article, I’ll show you one way to make a wireless thermometer using two PIC microcontrollers. One microcontroller, the PIC16F688, will measure voltage from an LM34, convert it to an ADC value, and transmit some data. The receiver will receive the data, and display a message on an LCD. Sending data with the 433MHz […]

Display custom characters on 16×2 lcd using Microchip Pic16f877 Microcontroller

Here is a simple project on how to build/generate/make custom characters in 16×2 lcd and then print/display them on lcd using microchip pic16f877 microcontroller. Character lcd contains a set of ascii characters and some Chinese characters in their controllers. We invoke the ascii characters present in the ram for displaying them on lcd. But if […]

Interfacing PIC with ESP826

Interfacing ESP8266 with PIC16F877A Microcontroller

Interfacing PIC16F877A Microcontroller with ESP8266 In this article, let us discuss how to interface WIFI module ESP8266 with a PIC microcontroller. So far you might have been using the ESP8266 module as a standalone microcontroller or might have been using it with the Arduino library. But, when it comes to hardcore embedded system projects we should […]

Remote Controlled Home Auto

IR Remote Controlled Home Automation using PIC Microcontroller

R Remote Controlled Home Automation using PIC Microcontroller In this project, we are going to use a PIC microcontroller to remotely control few AC loads by just using an IR remote. A similar project IR remote controlled Home automation has already been done with Arduino also, but here we designed it on PCB using EasyEDA’s […]

Digital Speedometer and Odometer Circuit using PIC Microcontroller

Digital Speedometer and Odometer Circuit using PIC Microcontroller Measuring the speed/rpm of a Vehicle or a motor has always been a fascinating project for us to try. So, in this project we are going to build one using the Industrial ready PIC microcontrollers. We will use a piece of magnet and a Hall Sensor to […]

PIC EEPROM Project 1

How to Save Data using EEPROM in PIC16F877A Microcontroller

Saving Data using EEPROM in PIC16F877A In this tutorial we will learn how easy it is to save data using the EEPROM present in the PIC16F877A Microcontroller. In most real time projects we might have to save some data which should not be erased even when the power is turned off. This might sound like […]
