Just one PIC to use it as counter with multiple functions. Here is the pin information: PIN FUNCTIONS: CLEAR/COUNT – GND to clear count, VSS to count. SAVE COUNT – GND start from zero on power up, VSS continue last count. C CATHODE/C ANODE – GND to use COMMON CATHODE Display, VSS to use […]

Read analog values without an ADC using PIC12F675 microcontroller
Digital electronics and Analog electronics doesn’t mix easily. A Microcontroller can’t get analog values unless an Analog-to-Digital converter is used, however, you may find a little complicated the use of an ADC and it need lots of Input/Output ports. Some Microcontrollers, like the small 8-pin Microchip PIC 12F675, do have an ADC integrated, but […]
Pic RGB color generator using PIC12F629
Description PIC RGB is a circuit that generates random RGB colors using a RGB LED and fades between them. The idea for this circuit came from the candle simulator [1] and another project called TinyRGB [2] . The challenge was to create an algorithm that could fade 3 independent colors at different speeds in the […]
LED Cube with SnakeGo
Introduction The idea of our final project is to design and implement a PIC32-drived 8x8x8 LED cube with 3-dimensional display. Besides 3D display feature, another major feature of this magical LED cube is that it provides a playing field and users can play 3D snake game on the cube by using NES controller. Six buttons […]
Power Pic RGB with Infrared remote control using PIC12F675
Power Pic RGB with Infrared remote controlis a circuit that generates colors using a RGB LED and can be controlled using any infrared remote controller capable compatible with the Sony® Sirc code. This circuit is the third evolution of Pic RGB project [1] in which the goal was to control a RGB LED and randomly […]
Cooking Timer using PIC16F819 microcontroller
Cooking Timer This is a school project but I thought it can be fun to all of you cooking people out there, that still use old stoves without timers. The timer uses different formula for meat, chicken or egg, but also has a separate timer that can be activated manually. Meat cooking time formula: 1 […]
Minty JDM PIC Programmer using PIC18F4550 microcontroller
Minty JDM PIC Programmer This project details how to build a JDM style programmer to program PIC Microcontrollers using Microchip’s ICSP (In Circuit Serial Programming) and freeware software (PICPgm). Total project cost: less than $10. This device has been tested on both the PIC16F877 and PIC18F4550. Check the PICPgm website to see compatibility with other […]
Smart-O-Pan ECE4760
A smart control knob and pan designed for the absent-minded chef! The Smart-O-Pan takes the constant vigilance out of your culinary creations, making cooking bdddoth simple and safe. I designed the smart-o-pan with people like my mom in mind. I was the family chef for a number of years but since attending university, she’s taken […]
An LED Dice using a PIC 16F84 (or 16F88)
An LED Dice using a PIC 16F84 (or 16F88) This is a re-print of a project that I made a number of years ago – I was trawling the web, and discovered that others had been making it, so I decided to put the detail here on instructables.com – so that others can benefit. Many […]
Reverse Engineering to Emulate Ink Cartridges for a Epson Printer using PIC18F
Reverse Engineering to Emulate Ink Cartridges for a Epson Printer For the past two years, I’ve been planning to build myself a 3D printer from some old Inkjet printers that I had collected over the years. But not until two weeks ago had I actually started to work on it. The 3D printer I want […]
