Simplest Temperature Data Logger using PIC12F683

Introduction There are varieties of digital temperature logger projects available online based on different microcontrollers. The one I am going to talk about is based on a Microchip’s 8-pin microcontroller, PIC12F683. It reads temperature values from a DS1820 digital sensor and stores in its internal EEPROM. PIC12F683 has 256 bytes of internal EEPROM and we […]

Alarm Clock

Quozl’s Alarm Clock using PIC16F877

Old Alarm Clock Problems wake’s Quozl’s wife, a side-effect, needs to be armed each evening, 12-hour clock, cannot be armed more than 11.5 hours before alarm time, triggers at plus or minus ten minutes, depending on how it was dropped, battery cover needs to be removed to change time, changing time at daylight saving loses […]

USB Audio Streamer A Microchip PIC based USB sound card

USB Audio Streamer A Microchip PIC based USB sound card

INTRODUCTION The idea for creating a USB sound card based on a PIC came from discussions of other people creating one on the Microchip USB forum. The hardware of the card is based on all Microchip products. The software uses a modified version of the Microchip USB framework which is interrupt driven instead of the […]

Using Digole 12864ZW LCD with PIC18F1

Using Digole 12864ZW LCD with PIC18F

Digole 12864ZW is a 128×64 pixels graphic LCD that can be found at attractive prices and this is why it started appearing in projects across the web. It is based on ST7920 chip which is not so well known and to me it wasn’t the easiest to work with.’ The documentation for this display can […]

PIC Programmer

Cheap PIC Programmer using PIC16F84 microcontroller

Cheap PIC Programmer This programmer works only with PIC16F84 but it’s great because it never causes errors and works with almost all computers,unlike some other homemade programmers. Step 1: Step one : Materials For this programmer you won’t need many materials.In fact , you will find all you need in your local electronics shop 😉 […]

PIC microcontroller ATA library schematic

PIC microcontroller ATA library

This project started life a long time ago, with the intention to build an iPod clone, back when personal MP3 players were an expensive luxury and long before you could buy them from China on ebay for less than a light bulb. The plan for the MP3 player was to use a PIC microcontroller connected […]

Two Channel PC Based Oscilloscope USB

Two-Channel PC Based Oscilloscope USB

Inroduction More and more experiments are now ‘PC-assisted.’ Also conventional acquisition systems are very expensive. Since portable  PCs are today common and a USB link is a better solutionhere we present an oscilloscope using USB port of the PC that operates at up to 10 kHz with ±16V input voltage. It has much more improved features than the PC-based oscilloscope . The oscilloscope uses IC […]

Relay Controller

3-Channel IR Relay Controller with user programmable IR commands for PIC12F629

Description This project is a 3 channel infrared (IR) remote controlled relay driver.  It works with 12-bit SIRC IR signals as used by Sony remote controls. The controller also features the ability for the user to ‘program’ the commands it will respond to using  the IR remote control.   Each of the three relay channels can […]

Hello World Project With PIC Microcontroller – Part II

Hello World Project With PIC Microcontroller – Part II

Hello Friends, Welcome back. In the last tutorial we started working with MPLab and HI-TECH C Compiler and written our first C program to blink LED. After compiling the program we got the HEX file. Now, in this tutorial we will see how to transfer(burn) the hex file to our Microcontroller chip and then power it […]
