PIC Stroboscope You have probably been to a party where there is a strobe and it delays everything. Today we are going to use this principle to “slow” stuff (fans) down. Maybe you have seen one using 555 timers, the Arduino and maybe even the Propeller chip. However, have you ever seen one with a […]

18 PIN PIC Development Board
The PIC 18 PIN (DIP) Development / Evaluations Board demonstrates the capabilities of Microchip’s 8-bit microcontrollers, specifically, 18 Pin PIC16F1847. It can be used as a standalone demonstration board with a programmed part. With this board you can develop and prototype with all Microchip’s 18 PIN PIC microcontrollers. The board has a Reset switch and […]
PIC 18F4550 Timer And Interrupt Example Video Project
Welcome back everybody! This video covers multitasking via timers and interrupts with the PIC 18F4550. A few notes on this video: -To keep the pace of the video going I added fast forwarding more than in the previous videos. Please let me know in the comments if this was helpful or better compared to the […]
An LDmicro Tutorial
In this tutorial, I will show you how to write a very simple program. I am assuming that you have written ladder logic before, and that you have some basic familiarity with microcontrollers, but that you have never used LDmicro. If you don’t know very much about ladder logic or PLCs, then the plcs.net tutorial […]
Homemade temperature LED display for PC using PIC16F876
Since I started my watercooling prejoect, I have been verry interested in how well it perform, the only way is to measure all temperatures before and after, The motherboard temperature sensors is useless unacurate, so I’m using LM50B By using this LM50B sensor I get 1 C of real accuracy I use a PIC16F876 to […]
PIC 18F – 28 PIN PIC Development Board
Description This is a versatile, configurable, and cost effective Development Board designed for the 18F 28 pin series of Microcontroller from Microchip. The board is simplest form with all the Port pins terminating in a header connector for easy connection to the outside world. Power Supply 7-18V DC Rajkumar Sharma http://www.rajkumarsharma.com 3756 This […]
Heavy duty portable charger for usb devices (phones, iPad, etc.) using PIC12F683
Heavy duty portable charger for usb devices (phones, iPad, etc.) Ever needed to charge your phone on the go? Can’t find a wall socket to charge your iPod? Whenever I’m away from home for an extended period of time, I would charge my phone and mp3 player from my laptop. This way, I get about 3 […]
FailureBot 5 – A Line Following Robot
Introduction The objectives of the FailureBot project originated simply as “build a line-following robot”. However, it somehow evolved into a 3-year robotics experiment. My first attempt to build a robot was such a complete failure that I jokingly called it “FailureBot”. The name seemed quite appropriate even as the project evolved as every one of […]
PIC RGB Power Board using PIC12F629 microcontroller
Description Power Pic RGB is a circuit that generates random RGB colors using a powerful 3W RGB LED and fades between them. The initial project goal was to develop the fading algorithm which was successfully achieved. This time the idea was to drive a Prolight 3 Watt RGB LED and place it inside a nice […]
Open Source 3.2” TFT Smart Display
This project is an open source 3.2″ Smart TFT display board. The board is based on a PIC32 and a 3.2′ TFT with touchscreen (ILI9320 controller, using 16bits PMP). The software has two main parts. One that produces the 2D functions and a GUI with various widgets (buttons, check boxes, sliders etc). Description A new […]
