The microcontrollers plays an essential role in the embedded industry after the development of Intel 8051. The research in the field of embedded industry gave high efficient, low power consumption microcontrollers. The Arm, AVR and PIC microcontrollers are the prime examples. These microcontrollers are getting smart with communication protocols such as I2C, USB, SPI,CAN and […]
Description Since I published the original RGB LED driver (photo right) I’ve had many enquiries from people asking how they could make the original board work with more LEDs. I’d already made a couple of custom boards up for myself, so I finally decided it was time to put together one for the website. The […]
Original Assignment Do not erase this section! Your assignment is to create code that will allow the PIC32 to read and write data to a FAT32 SD card. The SD card should be able to be read by a PC after data has been written on it by the PIC32. Create functions so that it […]
LED’s have become most important component in lighting industry due to its miniature size and less power consumption. Also LED lights are lot more attractive than the primitive lights used once. This project focused on building an remote controlled LED with multiple lighting effects. Imagine setting the mood of your room using remote, will be […]
Introduction to RTC: Real time clock also referred as RTC is an important device or integrated circuit which will keep the track of current time. RTC is mainly used in computers, mainframes servers and embedded applications (mobile phone, tablets, organizers, PDA etc). The main function of the RTC is to keep the track of time […]
Description The PIC 12F629 and 12F675 devices have an internal 4Mhz oscillator that enables the devices to be used without an external crystal or RC network. This frees up one or two pins for I/O use and allows the device to be built into minimum component count designs. Additionally, the devices undergo an Internal Oscillator […]
In this post we will discuss about Green house intelligent control system: With the people’s living standards increasing, modern, a large number of agricultural production, such as vegetable using greenhouse to cultivate. The temperature and humidity monitoring are two key factors which used to control the growth of crops, due to different growth of greenhouse […]
This unit provides 4 autonomous MIDI inputs and 1 MIDI output. Note this is a ‘proper’ MIDI Merger – all 4 MIDI inputs can be used at the same time, unlike other ‘designs’. The unit also provides an indication of the channel number being played, and has shown itself to be capable of expansion into […]
If the piclist is an any indication the 16f877 seems to be the new favorite hobby microcontroller, a position that used to be occupied by the 16f84/16c84. Compared to is older brethren the 16f877 has much more to offer at around twice the price. As for all Microchip controllers the datasheet (pdf) and the MPLAB […]
Described here is a low-component count Emergency Vehicle LED Light circuit which can be used for capturing the attention of (or warning) drivers and pedestrians. These type of lighting gadgets kindle an instant response that makes people look up and pay attention -an important consideration when a matter of moments can mean life or death […]
