IR Sensor Interface with PIC18F4550 In my previous project we have made a simple IR sensor Circuit. In this project, as promised before – we are going to demonstrate a PIC18F4550 microcontroller interface to IR sensor circuit. We are just going to glow few on the pic18f4550 as an example, however you can do some […]

Stepper Motor Drivers USB Stepper Motor Driver Stepper Motor Driver PIC18F4550 –-Stepper Motor schematics Stepper Motor Speed Controller Stepper Motor driver PIC18F2550 IR Interterface to Stepper Motor Stepper Motor Speed controller using PIC18F4550 This tutorial is all about tuning the speed of a stepper motor using a potentiometer. The idea is to throttle up or […]
A DDS Module based on the AD9835 using PIC16F84
Table of contents Purpose Disclaimer Schematics PCB Pictures of the finished module Notes & comments SSTV Testgenerator Credits Purpose While working on a project I came across the DDS chips from Analog Devices. Especially the AD9835was very atractive to me because of its super simple handling and small size. Normaly you would use such a […]
How to interface MAXIM’s DS1868 digital potentiometer with a PIC microcontroller
Potentiometers find applications in many electrical devices. For example, a light dimmer uses a potentiometer to control the brightness of lamps. In amplifiers, they are used to control the output volume of the music, or change the bass level. In an adjustable power supply we see potentiometers to vary the output voltage and current. In […]
PIC16F84A Gas Detector using GH-312 sensor
Introduction This is a gas detecting circuit capable of sensing many different types of gases. The sensor used is the GH-312 and from the datasheet it is capable of sensing gases like smoke, liquefied gas, butane and propane, Methane, alcohol,hydrogen, etc. Schematic Parts List R1 1K resistor R2 1K resistor P1 100K potentiometer C1 10uF […]
Stepper Motor Driver using PIC18F4550 Microcontroller
Stepper Motor Tutorial In this tutorial we are going to drive a Single unipolar stepper motor using PIC18F4550 Microcontroller in various different stepping modes. The source code and Project files are free to download at the end of this page. – Stepper motor due its excellent features is very famous in between hobbyist for various […]
Serial Data Logger with PIC microcontroller
The data logger consists of a simple op-amp amplifier circuit that amplifies the signal and sends it to be digitized by a PIC16F688 microcontroller, serialized, and sent to the computer’s serial port via a MAX232 serial driver: I guess you are already wondering about some of the unusual arrangmenents in the analog part in the […]
Building the Inchworm ICD2 PIC Programmer / Debugger using PIC16F877
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 […]
8 Channel IR Remote Control
This IR remote control that you can use to control other devices or circuits up to 8 devices. The control codes are sent in RC5 format modulated to about 38 kHz carrier frequency.The IR transmitter powered by the CR2016 which is a 3V button Cells Battery CR2016.To extend the life of the battery this is […]
How to configure EUSART in PIC18F4550
Both, Parallel and Serial modes of communication have certain advantages and disadvantages over one another. The serial communication is a preferred option due to its ability of long distance communication with error detection capability. The microcontrollers consist of an inbuilt hardware unit known as USART (Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Reception and Transmission) to facilitate serial transfer […]
