Microcontroller was invented by Intel sometimes in the 80s ever since that invention other Electronics companies such as Atmel, Microchip and Motorola etc have manufactured different brands of Microcontroller like AT89, PIC16F and 68H All microcontrollers performs specific task based on the set of instructions giving to them through a process called Programming language. Example […]
A large number of embedded project require some type of user interface. This includes displaying numerical, textual and graphical data to user. For very simple numerical display we can use 7 segment displays. If the requirement is little more than that, like displaying some alphanumeric text, we can use LCD Modules. They are cheap enough […]
Introduction USB is very common interface today. If you look around, many of devices today comes with a USB port. Computers, printers, routers, usb keys, etc. All this devices have a USB controller inside. These devices can be divided in two groups: USB Host (like a computer, routers, modern LCD TV’s); USB Device (like flash […]
The device used for measuring daily insolation has been developed. The device was built with a PIC18F458 and the 128MB Multimedia Memory Card, MMC. The solar radiation is measured by a calculator solar cell. The PIC chip interfaces the MMC using SPI mode. The interval between samples is set to one minute. The firmware detects […]
Have you ever wondered how your PC and phones keep track of time even when the device is turned OFF? Well there is a Real Time Clock (RTC) that is kept powered even is the device is turned OFF. Once the device is turned ON and connected to the internet the device connects to a […]
PIC ICSP gives you a convenient way of programming PIC Micros without removing the chip from the development or production board. Note: ICSP stands for In Circuit Serial Programming. All you need is a programmer that provides the ICSP connector (usually a six pin molex/dupont connector) which you plug into your target board. For example […]
This project is a micro controller chess game. The objective has to be able to play chess on a VGA monitor, including an intelligent computer to play against. This all has been accomplished with a microcontroller. I started this as a project for the college ( I am a Electrical Engineering student ), but it […]
Introduction There are some 89Sxx development board, here is another one. I have designed this single side development board to be used as a tool for learning MCS-51 Microcontrollers, and for easy microcontroller project development. The 89Sxx development board features : 89Sxx 40-DIL based design, 89S51/52/53 In System Programming (ISP) through the 6-pin header RS-232 […]
My 2010 Equinox has got every feature that a modern automobile should have. However, one thing that I personally find missing is the real-time monitoring of voltage across the car’s battery terminals. This may not seem to be that important but one of the most common reasons for a car battery failure is the faulty […]
Background During the Christmas holidays 1997-1998, I started on a small project, trying to generate a video signal with a PIC16C84. I had seen some video clock generating video signals in software, and thought it was a quite interesting idea, and wanted to take it a step further. I didn’t know much about video signals […]
