With the tiny microcontroller PIC12F1822 we can read raw data (sectors) stored in the SD card. The SD card can work in SPI mode which makes our interfacing more better since the PIC12F1822 MCU has a built-in SPI module (MSSP module). This post shows how to interface the SD card with the PIC12F1822 microcontroller in […]
PIC12F1822 is a small microcontroller has only 8 pins which is not enough for building a real time clock using DS3231 with set buttons because the DS3231 needs 2 pins and the LCD screen needs 3 pins, therefore I’ve only 1 free pin. I connected that pin to an IR receiver and I used a […]
This post shows how to make a real time clock and calendar using PIC16F84 and DS3231 RTC. The DS3231 uses I2C protocol to interface with the master device which is in this example the PIC16F84A MCU. In this project software I2C is used because the PIC16F84A MCU has no hardware I2C module. Hardware Required: PIC16F84A […]
ntroduction In this article, I’ll show you one way to make a wireless thermometer using two PIC microcontrollers. One microcontroller, the PIC16F688, will measure voltage from an LM34, convert it to an ADC value, and transmit some data. The receiver will receive the data, and display a message on an LCD. Sending data with the 433MHz […]
PicKit2 is a programmer designed by Microchip to program its pic microcontrollers. PicKit2 supports many 8-bit pic microcontroller series. PicKit2 supports almost all Pic-10/12/16/18/24 and dspic-30/33 flash series microcontroller’s. Pickit 2 is an ICSP (In-circuit serial programmer) programmer. In icsp interface, microcontroller can be programmed while its working in the circuit. An icsp programmer uses 5 […]
Here is a simple project on how to build/generate/make custom characters in 16×2 lcd and then print/display them on lcd using microchip pic16f877 microcontroller. Character lcd contains a set of ascii characters and some Chinese characters in their controllers. We invoke the ascii characters present in the ram for displaying them on lcd. But if […]
Interfacing PIC16F877A Microcontroller with ESP8266 In this article, let us discuss how to interface WIFI module ESP8266 with a PIC microcontroller. So far you might have been using the ESP8266 module as a standalone microcontroller or might have been using it with the Arduino library. But, when it comes to hardcore embedded system projects we should […]
R Remote Controlled Home Automation using PIC Microcontroller In this project, we are going to use a PIC microcontroller to remotely control few AC loads by just using an IR remote. A similar project IR remote controlled Home automation has already been done with Arduino also, but here we designed it on PCB using EasyEDA’s […]
In this tutorial let us learn how to send E-mails from PIC Microcontroller using famous WiFi module the ESP8266. This tutorial uses PIC16F877A IC and MPLABX and XC8 compiler for programming. At the end of this tutorial you will be able to send E-mail from any normal E-mail ID like Gmail, yahoo etc to any other […]
High and Low Voltage Power Detector Circuit with Message Alert using PIC Microcontroller We often see voltage fluctuations in electricity supply at our home, which may cause malfunction in our home AC appliances. Today we are building a low cost High and Low Voltage Protection Circuit, which will cut off the power supply to the […]
