In a home recording environment equipment often doesn’t come in a large variety because of either limited budget or limited space… or both. I am presenting here an balanced attenuator which comes in between fixed gain preamp and recording device/soundcard. The purpose of this device is to adjust the level and monitor it to prevent […]

Alarm Clock using PIC16F74 microcontroller
The idea for this project came from my youngest son who asked me to make him an alarm clock. I put together a simple PIC based design comprising of two interlinked vero-board cards. The design was created using New Wave Concepts’ LiveWire which allows you to simulate the effect of the signals on the components […]

The Talking Breathalyzer Mark II using PIC18F1220
The Talking Breathalyzer Mark II Hi Folks! Thanks for having a gander! This is my second Breathalyzer project. IT TALKS TO YOU, and gives you an idea of how much you’ve had to drink! I made it specifically for for this contest. I hope you all like it. From a block diagram point of view, […]
PIC 16F917 Microcontroller Programmer
In this instructable , I ‘ll show you how to build a PIC 16F917 Microcontroller programming circuit. This Microcontroller is a very nice Microcontroller chip form the famous chip manufacturer Microchip. This Microcontroller is easy to program and powerful to use. The photo above shows the programmer circuit after completion. Note: This circuit uses the […]
2-wire LCD interface using PIC16CF84
Alphanumeric LCD displays have become very popular for microcontroller applications because they can add a lot to a project in a variety of different ways. A text message giving the user instructions as well as feedback can make the application seem much more “professional” and easy to use. I like to use LCD’s to help […]
Building the Inchworm ICD2 PIC Programmer / Debugger
This instructable is an illustrated walk through building an ICD2 clone called the Inchworm. It’s a straight forward kit that lets you build an MPLAB ICD2 compatible Programmer and Debugger. There are lots of Programmers out there but very few include a debugger, (A debugger lets you single step through your program and set watch […]
PIC16F688 breadboard module for quick prototyping
This module is based upon the basic setup circuit for PIC16F688 that I have described in one of my PIC lessons, Getting ready for the first lab. I thought of soldering this circuit on a general purpose ptototyping board and use male headers to access the power supply pins and I/O ports of the PIC16F688 microcontroller. […]
How to Program a PIC Microcontroller & Read an Encoder
Introduction: From electronic toys & games to microwave ovens, microcontrollers can be found just about anywhere these days! But how can we make these small computers work for our own electronics projects? That’s where this tutorial comes in – with detailed instructions showing you what to do every step of the way. At the end […]
Lab 3: Four bit binary counter using PIC16F688
Description Today’s lab session is about binary counting LEDs. The binary 1 and 0 will be represented by turning LEDs on and off. You will make a 4-bit binary counter (using 4 LEDs) that counts from 0 to 15 (0000-1111 binary). The four LEDs are connected to RC0 through RC3 port pins of PIC16F688 with […]
