PIC development/testing board using PIC16F877 microcontroller
PIC development/testing board Here’s a PCB design for a bare bones PIC16F877 development board. All you need is a 4mhz crystal, two 22pf caps, one 4.7k resistor, and eight 470 ohm resistors, a 7805 regulator (not necessarily necessary, read below), and some LEDs (you don’t need to put all 33 LEDs on, just as many […]
DTMF Touch Tone Decoder Using Microchip PIC Microprocessor using PIC12F683
DTMF Touch Tone Decoder Using Microchip PIC Microprocessor This project contains the details of using a Microchip PIC12F683 8 bit microprocessor to detect DTMF tones. The completed program allows the processor to be programmed with a string of DTMF tones to detect. If the programmed string is detected in the audio applied the audio input, […]
Co-op Virtual Reality Maze: ECE 4760
Introduction Our project is a collaborative game in which two people work together on different devices to navigate a maze, one on the PIC and the other on a VR headset. Each player lacks crucial knowledge about the maze that would allow them to reach the end — the user on the PIC has a […]
Control a Hobby Servo using PIC18F2455 microcontroller
Use a PIC Microcontroller to Control a Hobby Servo This instructable describes how to integrate hobby servos (the kind used in RC planes, cars, etc.) into your microcontroller projects. How Servos are Different from Regular Motors In a regular DC motor, the amount of torque the motor exerts on the shaft is proportional to the […]
How to make a Clap-Clap on / Clap-Clap Off switch circuit! using PIC10F222
How to make a Clap-Clap on / Clap-Clap Off switch circuit! Hi all! This instructable not only gives the reader the information needed to create a clap-clap on/clap clap off switching circuit, but the logic used to make a hardware-only clap-on, clap off circuit. More information on a hardware-only version can be found in the […]

DMX-512 RGB LED Wash Light Control Board A full featured driver board to control Red, Green, & Blue LEDs. When paired with the correct output board, it can control any arrangement of LEDs. Common Cathode, Common Anode, single color LEDs. From 1/8 watt LEDs to 3 watt LED arrangements. 4 stand-alone modes. Fade & Flash […]
Simple JDM PIC Programmer using PIC16f84A microcontroller
Simple JDM PIC Programmer I have built this project to burn my small PIC’s This is a serial programmer works on the RS232 ( PC serial port ), known as JDM Programmer, thanks to the site http://pic16f84.hit.bg/ which contains the schematic and the programmer software. The programmer is powered from the Serial port itself, so […]
Karaoke Robot Judge
Introduction Karaoke Robot Judge is a karoke machine with a robot Simon Cowell as a judge. For this project, we designed a karaoke machine on the PIC32 with a robot judge made of two servo motors. The user can choose one of three songs to sing from the Python GUI. The background audio is played […]
Mood vase using PIC12F683 microcontroller
Intro: Mood vase I’m a fan of LEDs, lots of LEDs. So here’s a slightly less crass way of using LEDs for decorative purposes. While this is by no means a neat and polished solution, and probably not the first of its kind, however the pulse effect is as far as I have seen unique, […]
