PIC Microcontrollers are a powerful platform provided by microchip for embedded projects; its versatile nature has enabled it to find ways into many applications and is yet to grow a lot. If you have been following our PIC tutorials then you would have noticed we have already covered a wide range of tutorials on PIC microcontroller starting from the […]
Projects
Relay Interfacing with PIC Microcontroller
In this project we will interface a Relay with PIC Microcontroller PIC16F877A. Relay is a mechanical device to control high voltage, high current appliances ‘ON’ or ‘OFF’ from lower voltage levels. Relay provides isolation between two voltage levels and it is generally use to control AC appliances. From mechanical to Solid state relays, there are various type of relays are […]
Interfacing 74HC595 Serial Shift Register with PIC Microcontroller
There are possibilities in embedded design where you do not have enough I/O pins available in your microcontroller. That can be due to any reason, may be your application needs multiple LEDs or you want to use multiple 7-segment displays, but you don’t have required I/O pins in your microcontroller. Here comes a perfect component, shift register. […]
RFID Interfacing with PIC Microcontroller
RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification. RFID module can read or write small amount of data into a Passive RFID tag, which can be used in identification process in various systems like Attendance system, security system, voting system etc. RFID is very convenient and easy technology. To read the Passive RFID cards and tag, we need a microcontroller with UART […]
Thermal Printer interfacing with PIC16F877A
Thermal printer is often referred as receipt printer. It is widely used in restaurants, ATM, shops and many other places where receipts or bill is required. It is a cost-effective solution and very handy to use from the user’s side as well as from the developer’s side. A thermal printer uses a special printing process which […]
Heart Beat Monitoring using PIC Microcontroller and Pulse Sensor
Heart Beat rate is most important parameter in monitoring any person’s health. In the modern era of wearable devices, there are lot of devices which can measure heartbeat, blood pressure, footsteps, calories burnt and lot of other things. These devices has pulse sensor inside them to sense the pulse rate. Today, we will also use […]
Generating PWM signals on GPIO pins of PIC Microcontroller
PWM signal generation is a vital tool in every embedded engineers arsenal, they come in very handy for lot of applications like controlling the position of servo motor, switching few power electronic ICs in converters/invertors and even for a simple LED brightness control. In PIC microcontrollers PWM signals can be generated using the Compare, Capture and PWM (CCP) […]
I2C COMMUNICATION WITH PIC MICROCONTROLLER
I love the Atmel AVR microcontrollers! Since building the Ghetto Development System described in this Instructable, I’ve had no end of fun experimenting with the AVR ATtiny2313 and the ATmega168 in particular. I even went so far as to write an Instructable on using switches as inputs, and extended the Ghetto Development System concept to CPLDs. During a […]
USE INPUT OUTPUT PORTS OF PIC18F452 MICROCONTROLLER
This guide hopefully will show you how to write C code that will allow you to read in an analog input (AI) value to your PIC microcontroller. I am using a PICkit 3 programmer with a PICkit 2 18-pin demo board. The microcontroller is a PIC1827, but the ideas discussed in this article will be […]
Bluetooth Controlled Robot using pic microcontroller
Today I came up with another engineering project for electronics and communication students, Android and Bluetooth controlled robot using PIC Microcontroller with object detecting capability. After installing MikroElectron’s Robot Control App from Play Store you should be able to control the robot with your android phone/ tablet over bluetooth signal. The eye catching feature of this project […]
