PIC 16F917 Gyroscope interface

PIC 16F917 Gyroscope interface

In this post we will study the ADC ( Analog-to-Digital ) Module of the Microcontroller PIC16F917 . We will study a real circuit of PIC16F917 interfacing to a semiconductor Gyroscope. The Gyroscope is a motion sensor that senses tilt in a certain direction . The used sensor is a yaw rate sensor ( free sample […]

PIC 3x3x3 LED cube Schematic

PIC 3x3x3 LED cube

Here´s my 3x3x3 LED cube, it’s controlled by a PIC16F628A microcontroller. This is my first microcontroller project that finally works, so i suppose is not that difficult to make for beginners. I hope you’ll enjoy that instructable and even make your own LED cube! Step 1: Materials The PIC drives the cube without external IC’s […]

Wireless Radio Frequency Module Using PIC Microcontroller

Wireless Radio Frequency Module Using PIC Microcontroller

It’s a Microcontroller Based DIY Electronics Project. Named Wireless RF Module Using PIC Microcontroller. The RF module is a small electronic circuit used to transmit, receive, or transceive radio waves on one of a number of carrier frequencies. RF modules are widely used in consumer applications such as garage door openers, wireless alarm systems, industrial […]

Simple Button Keypad Microcontroller

Simple Button Keypad – Microcontroller

Simple method for creating a custom button keypad that doesn’t require separate hardware.  Just your microcontroller buttons a few resistors. What we have here is 9 buttons and 6 signal lines (3 inputs, 3 outputs).  The basic setup is in a grid pattern where the three input lines come down as columns (PIN0, PIN1, and PIN2),  and […]

Interfacing Temperature Sensor with Microchip PIC16F876A Schematic

Interfacing Temperature Sensor with Microchip PIC16F876A

The tutorial aims at providing the necessary information for interfacing an analog type temperature sensor with a Microchip PIC Microcontroller. PIC (Peripheral Interface Controllers) was introduced in 1985. The PIC16F876A has 8K of Flash Program Memory, 368 bytes of Data Memory (RAM) and many other attractive features. Some features are ADC, USART, and 14 Interrupts […]

Schematic design with the PIC16F84A microcontroller Schematic

Schematic design with the PIC16F84A microcontroller

Many circuits on the Internet are built with a CD4017 counter IC. I myself chose to use a microcontroller for this job: the PIC16F84A. A microcontroller increases the complexity but it allows you to build a very flexible light computer. The circuit can be kept very small, this was a requirement for this circuit. The […]
