A good power supply is an essential subject to the microcontroller’s base project; it’s like a heart that gives a life to our microcontroller. Sometimes we take it for granted the important of having an adequate power supply to our microcontroller project and this can lead to the unexpected result or behavior from the circuit. […]

A DIY indoor thermometer plus hygrometer using PIC16F688
This project is about building a microcontroller-based digital room thermometer plus hygrometer that displays temperature and relative humidity on 4 large (1 inch) seven segment LED displays which adjust their brightness level according to the surrounding illumination. It consists of a closed loop system that continuously assesses ambient light condition using an inexpensive light-dependent resistor […]
Large Dancing Robot using PIC16f877A microcontroller
Large Dancing Robot Build a large dancing robot. This was supposed to be a walking robot, but it more kinda beebopped around. video on last step. Build a Prototype First, The _Prototype_: Before you make a large, high power robot, it’s good to make a smaller scale prototype. I made a simple walking robot using […]
How to make(build) a Calculator using Pic16f877 microcontroller
alculator with Pic 16f877 microcontroller is a comprehensive project. Comprehensive in the way that Code is lengthy and logical. It covers all the aspects of programming and interfacing of 16×2 lcd and 4×4 keypad with pic Microcontrollers. So you should be good in programming, if you are going to look at the code and you […]
Introduction to Microchip PIC Assembler Language – Part 1
Learning the assembler language is one of the essential skills that still required in the embedded system, although the major drawback using the assembler language is; its required more learning curve time compared to the higher level language but once you acquainted with one type of microcontroller family such as 8-bit 8 pins Microchip PIC […]
Building BRAM your first Autonomous Mobile Robot using Microchip PIC Microcontroller – Part 1
Have you ever thought that most of our perception about the robot is based on the Hollywood movie! The famous 3CPO and R2D2 from Star Wars until the little cute garbage compacting robot named WALL-E; all of these machines are example of our dreams or should I say our quest to what we all think […]
LED flasher using PIC16C84 Microcontroller
This is my first simple PIC program. It will flash an LED continuously at approximately 1Hz. It is a very simple loop that delays for 500 milliseconds (half a second) with the LED on, and then delays for 500ms with the LED off. Thus, the LED flashes at 1 Hz! The schematic for this circuit […]
Behavior Based Artificial Intelligent Mobile Robot with Sharp GP2D120 Distance Measuring Sensor – BRAM Part 2
What is the intelligent anyway; could we categories how the bees building their tiny hexagonal compound nest, ants searching for their food or birds migration using precision navigation over continental are the intelligent acts; or we as the human being with our cultures and civilizations is the only one that can be categories as the […]
TRACK CONTROLLER FOR AWANA® GRAND PRIX using PIC16F628
Introduction This project is for the hobbiest who wants to build a measurement and display unit for an Awana Grand Prix® track (also known as a Pinewood Derby track.) The racetrack for which I designed this unit is a 4-car track. A car is approximately seven inches long, is released by a gate at the […]
