PIC16F876A Based Robot

A Versatile PIC16F876A Based Robot

Design   Summary: Our group designed  and  manufactured a  miniature  robotic  vehicle  that  conquers  various terrains.    The  vehicle  was designed  with  a  track system  which is  powered  by  two  DC motors. The  motors   use a  Quadruple half  H ‐Driver in  order to  drive the  motors  in  both  directions.   The track system  incorporates a  four  bar linkage  for each  tread.    These two  linkages  allow each  side to  be independently  raised  which gives the  robot multiple configurations.   […]

KEYBOARD ADAPTER

IMAR-3 PC-KEYBOARD ADAPTER FOR SPECTRUM using pic16f84

While I was writing some tips to solve problems about Spectrum’ keyboard, some guys asked me for the possibility of using a PC-keyboard coupled by adapter. One market solution was launched by ‘Sintech’, but isn’t available the scheme nor the program used by inner microcontroler. This lack of information pushed me to do an innovating […]

motion sensor alarm

Make your own motion sensor alarm with SMS feature using PIC18F2550

MikroEleketronika demonstrates how to build a simple home alarm system that has the capability of sending SMS to a predefined cell phone number when intrusion is detected. This project is based on StartUSB for PIC board, a small development board for PIC18F2550, which is preprogrammed with an USB bootloder so that no additional programmer is […]

Temperature sensor using PIC16F877A microcontroller

Temperature sensor using PIC16F877A microcontroller

In this tutorial, we are making a Digital Thermometer using PIC microcontroller and LM35 Temperature Sensor. In this project, we will sense the temperature using LM35 and display it on 16×2 LCD. LM35 Temperature Sensor is accurate and cheaper and doesn’t require any external calibration. The output voltage is proportional to Celsius temperature scale and changes by 10mV […]
