So this tutorial should show you how to get an analog input using a PIC microcontroller (I’m using a PIC16f887) in assembly language. You may have a demo board (which makes programming way easier) just a chip. I’m using just a plain 40 pin chip on a breadboard. Step 1: Hardware Setup -You will need […]

Infra-Red Panel Timer
In one of the rooms upstairs in my house I have an Infra Red panel. When I am in that room and I switch on this panel I sometimes forget to switch it off, which is a waste of valuable energy. In order to prevent this, I built this Infra Red Panel Timer. Of course […]
PIC16F84 Digital Clock / Silent Alarm
This is one of my earliest projects as a maker. Actually, I’ve been doing so since I was a little child. And this one is from my early days in Embedded Software. This is a digital clock project that I’ve working on since 2006. It’s calledSilent Alarm. It’s one of my early projects implementing my […]
USB NEC Infra-Red Transmitter and Receiver
This project is a spin-off of another project I am working on and since there is a Remote Control 2017 contest on Instructables I thought I post this project. So if you like this project, please vote for it. Thanks. As you may know, I am a big fan of the Microchip 8-bit PIC controllers, […]
Bluetooth Controlled- Obstacle Avoidance Robot Car Using PIC32 Microcontroller
“Robot-Car: Design Fused with Obstacle Avoidance Technology” Recently, there is an intensive research undertaken in the field of intelligence robotics and autonomous mobile robot applications. Through the this project we wanted to explore this field by building a robot car that can potentially avoid the obstacles. This is a user controlled robot car that has […]
Wireless Doorbell Receiver
This project describes the second part of the following two projects: A wireless doorbell transmitter as described in the Wireless Doorbell Transmitter Instructable. This Instructable also gives some introduction to these projects. A wireless doorbell receiver described in this Instructable. The wireless doorbell receiver will make a sound and will blink a LED 5 times after it […]
Wireless Doorbell Transmitter
This project describes the first part of the following two projects: A wireless doorbell transmitter as described in this Instructable A wireless doorbell receiver to be described in the Wireless Doorbell Receiver Instructable When I am sitting in the backyard of my house I cannot hear it when somebody is ringing the doorbell at the front door. […]
Charlieplexing Xmas Tree
Xmas coming and we need some new hardware. Xmas hardware has to be green + white + red + blinking. So PCB is green + white, then add some blinking LEDs and we are done. I have lot of “Right Angle Side View Red Clear Ultra bright SMD 0806 LEDs” (1206 work as well) , […]
Analog Digital Clock
The reason for making this clock was because my original IKEA clock did not work anymore and I really liked the housing of this clock. I found it a waste to throw the clock away and decided to re-use it for an analog / digital clock. I could have made a standard clock but I […]
Tea Light Clone
I got to the result so it requires a bit more reading. At home we have quite some electronic tea lights, the ones from Philips that can be charged wirelessly. I have made an Instructable before related to this topic, see Tea Light Charge Monitorr. After some time these tea lights stop working because the rechargeable […]
