Word Clock

A Word Clock using PIC16F877 microcontroller

A Word Clock ************************************************************************** Major updates – A much better enclosure for this clock has been designed, and a better controller using an AtMega controller now exists.  check out http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Wordclock-Grew-Up/ ************************************************************************** This is a project to tell the time using words. I saw a cool clock on the Make Blog the other day (http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/09/qlocktwo_clock_tells_time_with_word.html), and […]

DC motor control with Joystick and PIC16F877A

DC motor control with Joystick and PIC16F877A

This is one project that i’m doing, now I’m going to show how to do it only for one motor, but i’m using and DEMUX to in the future use 4 motor. The project is simple, it uses the pic to control the DEMUX and the DEMUX control the H-BRIDGE that control the motor forward […]

Dial Alarm 2

Dialing Alarm using PIC16F628 Microcontroller

This is the lowest-cost dialing alarm on the market and shows what can be done with a PIC microcontroller. The complete circuit is shown below. You cannot see all the features of this project by looking at the circuit – most of them are contained in the program. So, read on and see what we have included. […]

Whac a Veggie

Whac-a-Veggie using PIC18F4550 microcontroller

Whac-a-Veggie For this year’s Trunk ‘O’ Treat game I wanted to make a something fun and exciting for kids to play so I choose a Whac- a-Mole type game called Whac-a-Veggie using the Veggie Tales characters.   The Whac-a-Veggie game is played with a foam hammer in your hand and the veggie characters randomly popping-up […]

LED Strobe for PIC12F629 675 schematic

LED Strobe for PIC12F629 / 675

 Description This project functions as a simple strobe for driving an LED.  The use of an output transistor allows it to pulse the strobe LED with a current up to 100mA. Four jumpers provide options for changing the pulse width, strobe repeat interval and single or double strobe flash.  The programmer ready code has default […]

IRMimic™ Trainable IR Remote Control Transmitter

IRMimic™ Trainable IR Remote Control Transmitter using pic microcontoller

IRMimic features: Simple to train – Can learn up to 16 IR commands, and each can be in a different format/protocol Two different operating modes – Keypad or MCU interface LED indicator output – Indicates training is complete Small size – 18 pin DIP IC Chip operates from 3-5 volts DC Standby mode permits battery […]

PIC16F84 Introduction

PIC16F84 Introduction

The 16F84 is deserves looking at because it is the GranDaddy of PIC Microcontrollers but you should not use it for new designs (see Below)… The PIC16F84 is a the most well known and most well used of all the PIC microcontrollers – it is used in numerous projects that you can find across the web. […]

USB Voltmeter

USB Voltmeter using pic microcontoller

USB Voltmeter USB Voltmeter is a PC based dual channel voltmeter built around PIC18F2455 / PIC18F2550 microcontroller that measures voltage from 0.00V up to 500.00V with 10mV resolution. USB Voltmeter sends measured data to PC via standard USB connection displaying data on a computer monitor. USB Voltmeter is self-powered drawing very little current from USB […]

Microcontroller with single LED Project in Proteus schematic1

Microcontroller with single LED Project in Proteus

This is a simulation project that shows how to write program in assembly language for PIC16F84A microcontroller that turns on a single LED and use it in Proteus VSM to stimulate the working of the microcontroller controlled LED. To do this start by creating a new project in Proteus, give some name and save it […]
