Compact PIC18F1320 Microcontroller Board

Compact PIC18F1320 Microcontroller Board

When I started building Microcontroller projects I built a lot of them using the same PIC microcontroller board. These were based on the PIC18F1320 chip since I bought a lot of them. There are many other chips in the PIC family that would be equally well suited to the projects on this site. Be aware […]

Complete Intro To PICs Make an LED Flash

Complete Intro To PIC’s – Make an LED Flash Video

As the title suggests, this guide is targeted for those who are new to the world of PIC microcontrollers. I cover the basics from hardware to software along with programming the device and a few hints along the way. I do assume a little bit of electronics knowledge – eg, reading circuit diagrams – I’m […]

In Circuit PIC Loader

In-Circuit PIC Loader using PIC18F458 microcontroller

This loader connects the PC printer port and works with WinPic800. The loader gets DC supply from application board and provides +12V for high voltage programming mode. We can use it for programming many PIC chips easily. Hardware Schematic The In-circuit serial programming for PIC chips requires only three signals, i.e. a bi-directional DATA line […]

Introduction to the PIC32

NU32: Introduction to the PIC32 using pic-microcontroller

The Microchip PIC32 is a family of complex and powerful microcontrollers that can be purchased for less than $10 in quantities of one. This microcontroller offers many peripherals useful for mechatronics purposes, such as several channels for analog-to-digital conversion, digital I/O, synchronous and asynchronous serial communication, pulse width modulation, etc. For our purposes, the primary […]

Generating PWM with PIC Microcontroller using CCP Module

Generating PWM with PIC Microcontroller using CCP Module

PWM is a technique used to generate analog output signal using digital signals. It is commonly used to control average power delivered to a load, motor speed control, generating analog voltage levels and for generating analog waveforms. CCP Modules are available with a number of PIC Microcontrollers. CCP stands for Capture/Compare/PWM. Using PWM module is […]

How to use inbuilt EEPROM of PIC18F4550 Microcontroller

How to use inbuilt EEPROM of PIC18F4550 Microcontroller

The EEPROM (ELECTRICALLY ERASABLE PROGRAMMABLE READ ONLY MEMORY) is a very useful memory which can be used for storing data. The data storing and retrieving from any EEPROM memory is very simple compared to other kind of memories. As the name suggest the memory is electrically programmable and hence the data will be sustained in […]

Weather meter using PIC 16F877 Microcontroller

Weather monitoring systems are available in plenty and these are pretty handy gadgets we use in our daily life for weather forecasting and other purposes. But these kinda gadgets might be expensive and may not be available for customization to our specified purpose. To overcome these advantages you can build this customized weather meter using […]

Remote Control Server

Remote Control Server

One of my friends asked me if I could design a circuit for him to be able to remotely power up a server. He has 2 servers and he didn’t want to keep them both on whilst he travelled. He wanted to be able to turn on a server when he needed it. He has […]
