PLC Con El CI16F877A

PLC Con El CI16F877A

The present project called PLC with Pic CI16F877A is based on the operation of a PLC, today we can see these systems in industries, mining, etc. It is used to program an industrial PLC, it is the ladder language or (LADDER). The project has the advantage of loading the program directly through the pickit3 so […]

Build a Pulse Analyzer

Build a Pulse Analyzer

A Message from me: Hello! Thank you for reading my first instructables on building a pulse analyzer using PIC24f in Assembly language. I have almost completed the project, but not yet finished writing this instructables as I want it to be as comprehensive as possible. It will take me another week to finish writing. Please […]

R C Controlled Switch for Drones

R/C Controlled Switch for Drones

Although there are MANY good circuits available on the internet for similar projects, I had a dedicated problem to solve. Most of the circuits available switches their outputs on at mid stick position (50%). My drones all use six channels (Throttle, Aileron, Rudder, Elevator, GPS Mode, Flight Mode), thus not leaving any spare channel to […]

Beginners Guide to Debugging in MPLABX Using ChipKIT PRO MX7 by DIGILENT

Beginners Guide to Debugging in MPLABX Using ChipKIT PRO MX7 by DIGILENT

This Instructable is a beginners guide to debugging code programed in the MPLAB X IDE v2.0. The steps covered are common application’s of the debugger software and problems I encountered as a beginner user and a inexperienced programmer. The content will be useful to programmers with little experience using a microprocessor and writing code. More […]

PianoPIC

PianoPIC

This little project is an example of a simple audio application using a PIC micro-controller. We decided to use the PIC18F4550 micro-controller for memory purposes. Using only digital inputs and outputs, we developed this simple piano/synthesizer with an 8 bit kind of style: Inputs from b1 to b11 are the push buttons in the circuit while […]

How to Program a PIC 18F2550 or 18f4550 With Arduino UNO

How to Program a PIC 18F2550 or 18f4550 With Arduino UNO

here is our our first tutorial on Instructable so be indulgent. This tutorial shows the method of using an Arduino UNO board as a PIC microcontroller programmer. This method has been tested with PIC 18F2550 and 18f4550 but can be used to program the following pic: 18F2420 18F2455 18F2520 18F2550 18F4420 18F4455 18F4520 18F4550 The […]

Easy PIC Micro State Transition Interrupt Code

Easy PIC Micro State Transition Interrupt Code

A PICBasic program which interrupts the PIC when a high/low transition occurs on pin PortB.0 The code is available for download as a .rar or just copy and paste it from here. I got the starting code from the microengineering website:http://www.melabs.com/resources/samples.htm but I added the register bit definitions and changed a little to make it […]

PIC Programmer Using USB Serial Converter for 18F4550

PIC Programmer Using USB-Serial Converter for 18F4550

Note : This hack is only needed if your usb-serial does not support the BREAK functionality. Else, it may work with as it is, with the usual programming software like PicPgm, WinPic etc. Usually the DIY programmers like JDM do not work for usb-serial converters. Voltage levels, timings, and missing functionality like setbreak() causes issues. […]

PIC Microcontroller Development Board System

PIC Microcontroller Development Board System

This project is for the design and use of a PIC development tool which is flexible to suit a wide range of PIC based electronic projects. It is often easier to develop microcontroller projects with the use of development tools; which allow user based code to be demonstrated in real time. However, from personal experience, […]

GSM GPS VEHICLE GEOGRAPHICAL TRACKER

GSM/GPS VEHICLE GEOGRAPHICAL TRACKER

The project is based on a Gsm/Gps/Gprs. Its main function is to detect a illegal entry and communicate its own geographical position using, on the choice, the cellular phone reference system or the GPS. I use the recent product by SIMCOM – SIM908 which operate on 5 – 12 volt dc supply, which makes it […]
