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 Clone Designed and Manufactured at Home
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 […]
Display custom characters on 16×2 lcd using Microchip Pic16f877 Microcontroller
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 ESP8266 with PIC16F877A Microcontroller
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 […]
IR Remote Controlled Home Automation using PIC Microcontroller
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 […]
How to Send E-mail using PIC Microcontroller and ESP8266
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/Low Voltage Detection and Protection Circuit using PIC Microcontroller
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 […]
Digital Speedometer and Odometer Circuit using PIC Microcontroller
Digital Speedometer and Odometer Circuit using PIC Microcontroller Measuring the speed/rpm of a Vehicle or a motor has always been a fascinating project for us to try. So, in this project we are going to build one using the Industrial ready PIC microcontrollers. We will use a piece of magnet and a Hall Sensor to […]
How to Save Data using EEPROM in PIC16F877A Microcontroller
Saving Data using EEPROM in PIC16F877A In this tutorial we will learn how easy it is to save data using the EEPROM present in the PIC16F877A Microcontroller. In most real time projects we might have to save some data which should not be erased even when the power is turned off. This might sound like […]
How to Use Interrupts in PIC16F877A Microcontroller
How to Use Interrupts in PIC16F877A Microcontroller In this tutorial we will learn how to use an External Interrupt in PIC Microcontroller and why/where we will need them. This is a part of the sequence of PIC Tutorials in which we started learning PIC Microcontrollers from scratch; hence this tutorial assumes that you are familiar […]
