In this instructable I’m going to show you how to make your own PIC18 development board that features both Ethernet and Full Speed USB 2.0 at a low cost. Features: The development board is based on a PIC18LF4553 microcontroller. The microcontroller features a Full Speed USB 2.0 (12Mbit/s) interface without the need for any external […]
I made the Low Cost IC Test Clip for ICSP of PIC Microcontrollers. http://neo-sahara.com/wp/ic_test_clip Step 1: Step 2: Put the copper tape on the cloth peg and cut the tapes as 2.54mm pitch. Step 3: Solder cables. Step 4: Use like this pictures. http://neo-sahara.com/wp/ic_test_clip Source: Low Cost IC Test Clip for PIC ICSP
OK How hard can programming a PIC microprocessor be? Well it depends, some are harder than others for several reasons, The programming language, the type of microprocessor, the ease of use of the editing software and most importantly how familiar you are with it all. So lets look at one of the easiest to handle […]
LED screens are everywhere. Chances are you’re using one to read this right now. With the release of Digilent’s PmodOLEDrgb, now you can program one yourself! Step 1: Materials For this project you’ll need: chipKIT Pro MX7 PmodOLEDrgb Micro USB cable MPIDE installed Python installed (for converting bitmaps) PmodOLEDRGB libraries Step 2: Install the PmodOLEDrgb […]
One of my circuits that I build quite often (20 – 40 at a time), uses a PIC 12F675. I had the following issues: The boards that I make, does not have in-circuit programming capabilities. This is to allow for a small PC board layout. PICs thus need to be programmed out of circuit. I […]
At home I have a few electrical Rolling Shutters that are controlling via a switch with which you can let them go up or down. When the Rolling Shutter reaches the end of its up or down movement, the motor of the Rolling Shutter stops automatically and you can put the switch that controls it […]
I am presenting a best class USB Universal Programmer for both PIC and AVR Microcontrollers. In our present market the universal programmer supporting much devices with combination of PIC and AVR are not in common, they are expensive also. This programmer is very cheap which is less than ₹500(10$). It is made with easily available […]
This instructable describes how to build a stand-alone heart rate meter using Easy Pulse mikro sensor and mikroElektronika‘s clicker 2 for PIC18FJ board. An OLED W click board is also used to display the heart beat rate in beats per minute (BPM). The above figure shows all the things you would need to build this project. Step 1: Setup, Firmware, and […]
In this instructable I want to show you how to control a servo using a microcontroller (18F2550) and how to avoid using an unknown library to control a servo. Step 1: Materials Power supply Breadboard Wires or jumpers Resistors Transistor or optocoupler Microchip microcontroller PICC Compiler(It could be another one, but I’m going to use […]
On the first part of this instructable, I demonstrated how to program a PIC12F1822 using MPLAB IDE and XC8 compiler, to send a simple string wirelessly using cheap TX/RX 433MHz modules. The receiver module was connected via a USB to UART TTL cable adapter to a PC, and the data received were displayed on RealTerm. […]
