What is a pic microcontroller? The PIC microcontroller is a low cost ‘computers on a chip’ manufactured by Microchip. They allow electronic designers and hobbyists impart intelligence and logic to a single chip for special purpose applications and products. The PIC microcontroller programming is done using the popular software ‘Mikro C’. This powerful yet easy to […]
Introduction The Handy Lab Buddy is a tool every ECE should have. The four features of this tool include a talking voltmeter, logic probe, voltage averager, and frequency measurer. As a cheap and accurate device that outputs whatever being measured through speakers, it’s one of its kind and an essential tool for lab work. Summary […]
Description Here’s another daft yet interesting PIC12F675 idea I came up with. When I wanted to show someone how logic gates worked I could only find a NAND gate which wasn’t very handy for demonstrating AND’s OR’s, NOR’s and ExOR’s. I also wanted to have a play with the A/D converter on the 12F675 so […]
About the Project Here is a fascinating and nostalgic project that kept me up many, many nights last summer (creating it, not playing the game!). I had long thought it would be exciting to try to generate video from a PIC, and with built-in A/D converters available for the paddles, the game of Pong seemed […]
Electronic code locking system is extremely useful in protecting our precious possessions and can be installed anywhere with bit of engineering in it. We are widely familiar with the Password based e-locks and might have installed in our house. But we are going for Electronic locks made by any company when you can make one […]
Introduction Just a handful of components builds an 8-pin microcontroller based circuit for temperature logging via a serial port; small, fast, and acceptably accurate. Features provides real-time data to your computer via serial port, interfaces up to four DS1820 temperature sensors, absolute accuracy near 0.5 degrees celcius (as per DS1820 specifications), relative accuracy near 0.01 […]
This code runs on a PIC 16F627A or 628A (and A.F.A.I.K 627/628 parts). It uses the serial USART on the PIC to communicate with a PC. Through this a simple CLI (Command Line Interface) is implemented that allows commands to be sent to the PIC to control output lines and read and return the status […]
I have just begun in the world of micro-controllers, and the first micro-controller. I chose to work with was the PIC from Microchip. The PIC I am using is the PIC16F877A. I am using MPLAP IDE and HI-TECH C. I am trying to make an extremely simple program that turns on an LED. This is […]
Objective To establish serial communication between two PIC16F877A microcontrollers Description In this experiment, 8-bit digital input is applied at Port-B to one of the PIC16F877A microcontroller which acts as a master in serial communication. The input value is transmitted by the master serially via Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) to the second PIC16F877A microcontroller, which acts […]
This post describes the design and construction of a 3-phase loudspeaker intended for Leslie Speaker emulation. The unit is intended to be driven by a 3-channel audio amplifier The Brute, which in turn is controlled by LEMS, a micro-controller based control system, the construction of which both are described in companion posts. Companion posts are […]
