Sign Language Learner
Introduction We designed a device that can aid in learning the alphabet in American Sign Language. We built a glove with various sensors to identify the hand position of the user closely and use that to give feedback on what they are doing right or wrong through the LCD display for each letter in the […]
PIC18F452 PWM Code and Proteus Simulation
This post provides the PWM code (using C language) and Proteus simulation for PIC18F452 micro-controller CCP1 and CCP2 modules ( written using MPLAB and HI-TECH C18 compiler ). There are many uses for PWM signals, e-g you can control dc motor speed using PWM. CCP is the name for the built in PWM module in […]
