This is a closed-caption decoder with serial output based on a Microchip PIC16F628A. The internal comparators of the PIC16F628A are used to implement a peak detector and data slicer. The hardware was designed by Richard Ottosen, and the firmware was written by Eric Smith. This closed-caption decoder does NOT overlay captions on video (OSD, on-screen […]
There has not been a simple addressable LED library for PIC32 microcontrollers until now! The PICxel library is an MPIDE library that handles the timing required to use addressable LEDs (WS2812, WS2811) or more commonly known as Adafruit Neopixels. Going through through a couple steps will allow your to get started with the PICxel library. […]
This article shows how to use the PIC16F84 microcontroller with PicBasic to design a quick & effective, serially controlled, I/O-Expander. Using PicBasic makes developing handy single-chip devices like this extremely simple. If you’re spending all your time programming in assembler, you’ll appreciate how simple PicBasic is to use, and how easily you can create single-chip […]
Hi Guys! This is a project that I made using pic microcontroller its an Electronic PIN Code Security System with real time clock and user define pin code features, this page contains all the details to make one yourself. ITS WORKING AND CONCEPT: Well by turning Security System on, it will ask for a PINCODE […]
With all LEDs you will need a power supply, some sort of way to send a signal (usually a microcontroller) and method of connecting the LED to your system… Admittedly, that sort of explanation is all things pretty vague (as a description), so instead it’s my opinion that the easiest way to explain the LEDs […]
If you are into PICs, you maybe tried one day or another to build a software video processor, either for fun or for a project. If you tried to generate video signals, you surely know some of this web pages : Rickard Gunees PIC PONG page : http://www.rickard.gunee.com/projects/ Eric Smith video clock : http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/pic/pictock.html This projects […]
IRK! Infrared Remote Controlled USB Keyboard Without Keys IRK! is a USB keyboard, without keys, that you can operate just by using your LEARNINGinfrared remote control.I created it to allow me to control my MythTV home theater PC with my LEARNING infrared remote control instead of having to use a real USB keyboard – but it […]
This instructable is meant to be a quick tutorial on installing LabVIEW, and hooking it up to a chipKIT. Documentation on how to do this already exists at LabVIEW Hacker.com. This instructable links to the information presented in the source, and puts it in instructable format with some additional commentary. It is up to you […]
This in-depth guide will go over the steps required to connect the chipKIT WF32 to LabVIEW using LabVIEW MakerHub LINX. LINX is used to interact with common embedded platforms like Arduino, chipKIT and myRIO. Digilent sells a bundle that includes the chipKIT WF32 and LabVIEW HomeBundle called the LabVIEW Physical Computing Kit. Feel free to […]
chipKIT boards typically have far more memory and computing power than many Arduino boards, and as a result, they are so much better at manipulating data. On the other side, the Arduino IDE is easy to use and understand. So what if we could interchange the Arduino board with the chipKIT while still programming […]
