Voltmeter and Ammeter can be easily made using PIC Microcontroller having ADC (Analog to Digital Converter). I am using PIC16F877A and the result is displayed on an LCD Display. PIC16F877A is enough if you do this project only for testing purposes. I suggest to use PIC with low pin numbers and multiplexed 7 segment display […]

HandySwipe portable magnetic card reader using PIC16F688
The HandySwipe provides a portable magnetic card reader interface and display. It collects card data from a “Type 2″ card reader (shown here), and displays the data on a small character LCD screen. Type 2 stripes are by far the most common in use, such as on credit cards and drivers’ licenses. The device can […]
Interfacing LCD with PIC Microcontroller – MPLAB XC8
In this tutorial we will see How to Interface a 16×2 character LCD module with PIC 16F877A Microcontroller using MPLAB X IDE and MPLAB XC8 C Compiler. 16×2 Character LCD is a very basic and low cost LCD module which is commonly used in electronic products and projects. 16×2 means it contains 2 rows that […]
Schematic PIC Data Logger with Delta-Sigma Converter
Labels: circuit >> data logger >> MICROCONTROLLER >> PIC >> Project >> schematic The aim of the project is to build a lab-grade data logger with PIC18F45K20 microcontroller and a 20-bit delta-sigma converter. It’s named as G5 Data Logger. This new data converter technology using delta-sigma simplifies the design of high resolution data recording device. […]
Interfacing LCD with PIC Microcontroller – Hi Tech C
16×2 Character LCD is a very basic LCD module which is commonly used in electronics projects and products. It contains 2 rows that can display 16 characters. Each character is displayed using 5×8 or 5×10 dot matrix. It can be easily interfaced with a microcontroller. In this tutorial we will see how to write data […]
4 ALARM SOUNDS using PIC12F629
This project is a miniature 1-chip alarm. All you need is a tilt switch, battery and piezo to produce a complete alarm. If you want a very high output, you can add a Darlington buffer transistor, piezo tweeter and a 10mH choke. The chip does all the work. It sits in sleep mode (100 microamps) […]
Custom Characters on LCD using PIC – MPLAB XC8
I hope that you already go through our tutorial, Interfacing LCD with PIC Microcontroller – MPLAB XC8. HD44780 compatible controllers used in these LCDs allows us to define 8 custom characters in addition to the standard pre-programmed characters. In this tutorial we will learn, how to create custom characters on LCD using PIC Microcontroller and […]
Single Chip Temperature Data Logger
Introduction A data logger is a device that records measurements over time. The measurements could be any physical variable like temperature, pressure, voltage, humidity, etc. This project describes how to build a mini logger that records surrounding temperature values. It has following features: – Uses just one 8?pin chip, so very compact size circuit. – […]
Interfacing Servo Motor with PIC Microcontroller – MPLAB XC8
Servo Motor is an ordinary geared dc motor equipped with closed loop servo mechanism which uses position feedback to control exact angular position of the rotor. These are commonly used in robotic arms, legs etc. Servo Motors do not rotate continuously, their rotation is limited to fixed angles. Usually these motors have rotation limit from […]
