It’s nice to be able to work on projects while on the road. This kit lets you carry an entire dev kit in your pocket. This instructable will show you how to build any of several different types of development kits (dev kit) which will all fit in your pocket. In the lower-left corner of […]
Projects
SINE WAVE INVERTER USING PIC MICROCONTROLLER
Introduction: In this project we discuss about “Pure Sine Wave Inverter”. This is a basic need of our daily life because normally used inverter in our daily life this is square wave output. We make pure sine wave inverter for better future and save our home appliances and good efficiency of inverter. In this pure […]
Low Cost 1 Wire Lcd for 8 Pin Micro Controllers [romanblack Shift1 System ]
Shift1 System is a cheap and simple way to get lots of digital output pins and only needs 1 PIC pin to drive it. Step 1: How It Works – the Simple System Normally, serial-in parallel-out shift register ICs can be set up for 2 pin operation; DAT – data, is the next bit to be shifted […]
Pic Programmer USB
Well I’m bringing home pic programmer, inexpensive clone pickit2 and support products microchip pic 18F2550 is used, this controller has an output voltage of 3.3v and 5v for different pic’s that use different voltages. Well this programmer is built because here in my country Mexico, a PicKit2 costs about $ 35 and to create this […]
PIC16F1847 and AR1010 Based FM Radio Music Box
This is my first Instructable post. I made a Digital FM Radio box using this cheap AR1010 FM Radio receiver module that I bought from Ebay and a PIC16F1847 Microcontroller from MICROCHIP. Why PIC’s? Why not use Arduino? Because i have bunch of these IC’s stocked in the parts bin. And also because most of the Digital FM Radio instructables […]
LCD Interface With PIC16F877A Microcontroller
PIC MCUs and other MCUs can control such LCDs easily using either 8 data bits method or just 4 data bits, which we will be using today. Parts needed are: 1- PIC16F877A or any PIC MCU. 2- Any 16×2 LCD. 3- Breadboard. 4- Breadboard wires. 5- Soldering station -> just to prepare the LCD itself with pins. 6- MPLAB […]
Lissajous Figures on 8X8 Led Matrix
A point of light oscillating in 2 perpendicular axes draws a pattern named “Lissajous Figure” (1857) or “Bowditch Curve” (1815). Patterns range from simple to complex depending on the frequency ratio and phase of the 2 axes.A 1:1 ratio with 0 phase difference draws a straight line at 45° angle. In this project the frequency ratio of the 2 […]
DMX-512 to Serial Adapter
This device reads a DMX-512 signal and grabs a variable amount of channel data values and sends them at 57200 or 19200 baud to an external device, such as a 24 Channel High Current LED Controller, when a new data packet is requested. This allows any microcontroller(PIC, Arduino, ATMel, ect.) with TTL serial communication to accept […]
16F84A VGA Test
Have you ever thought of this ?That you can generate any kind of signals using your little Microcontroller PIC16F84A. And one of these signals is the VGA signal that appears on your PC monitor. I thought of this idea but I couldn’t implement it. But I found it at this website. So I wanted to try if it is […]
Debouncing Interrupts With MPIDE Part 2: RC Filters
Hey guys! You ready for the second part of my debouncing series? “But Jay!” I can hear you asking, “I didn’t know there was a first!” Or maybe you said “Wait, debouncing? What’s that?” I’m not quite sure. The internet muffles things sometimes, you’ll have to speak up. No matter! If you’re asking either of […]
