This project has only a few modifications from the “Single Chip, Four Channel Datalogger” article by Dan Gravatt in the 2008 January Issue of Nuts&Volts (page 42), so I won’t go into much detail. Below is the schematic. The changes from Dan’s datalogger are that I used the PIC16F886, which is pin-compatible with the PIC […]
At the start of this series of posts, I said I did not want a PC to control my Milling Operations, so some local delivery method of supplying the gcode files is required. Having said that, the system is ‘open’, and a simple XON/XOFF terminal program running on a PC can be used if required. […]
Aurora 9 bar – The Essence of Aurora Since the introduction of Aurora 9×18, I received many requests for the kits and PCBs. I’m still quite undecided about making those available for a few reasons. However I really want other LED lovers (ok that might sound too much to be able to build one themselves. […]
The Compact Flash Library provides routines for accessing data on Compact Flash card (abbr. CF further in text). CF cards are widely used memory elements, commonly used with digital cameras. Great capacity and excellent access time of only a few microseconds make them very attractive for microcontroller applications. In CF card, data is divided into […]
This PIC16F877 microcontroller tutorial provides very detailed and comprehensive LCD[1] code. Using PIC16 simulator (Proteus) you can verify this LCD code and change it according to your needs. This code is written in C language using MPLAB with HI-TECH C compiler. You can download this code from the ‘Downloads‘ section at the bottom of this page. It is […]
Personal Radar System using PIC MIcrocontroller PIC18f452 is a microcontroller hobby project. The circuit diagram of radar is attached here below seemed a little bit simple schematic but you need careful reading of PIC18f452 radar circuit to avoid any damage. The project of personal Radar System using PIC MIcrocontroller PIC18f452 uses three main devices to […]
Intro: 01/\/atch The 01/\/atch, because… “there are 10 types of people in the world, those who read binary, and those who don’t” – a slashdot tag line. The 01/\/atch is a binary wrist watch with an LED display. Additional features are accessible through a scrolling menu system on its 3×4 LED matrix. Current features include: […]
Aurora mini 18 My obsession of this year is full-color LED. I have made Aurora 9×18 as a result. As much as I love the scale of Aurora 9×18, I also wanted to have something smaller, perhaps something that can go on a costume? Here’s Aurora mini 18. It has 18 full-color/RGB LEDs on a […]
A Simple Development Board Ok, so you have now got your programmer, and you have a PIC or two. It is all very well knowing how to program the PIC in theory, but the real learning comes when you try your code on a PIC and see the results yourself in a circuit. You could […]
SD memory cards, especially the ones under 1GB are cheap, relatively easy to interface and provide vast amounts of memory for imbedded control. This device lets you ‘talk’ to sd cards through your serial port. Communication is in ASCII so you just need a terminal program to access it. (Note: the photos shown are of […]
