Since I first released this circuit for a serial PICMicro programmer, I have been getting lots of feedback from people that have been building it as their first PICMicro programmer. It has been really nice to hear comments from people about their experiences building the “El Cheapo” as well as questions and comments calling for […]
Projects
Right-left scrolling LEDs
Project description: In this project, 8 LEDs are connected to PORT B of a PIC microcontroller. Also a push-button switch is connected to bit 0 of PORT A using a pull-up resistor.. When the switch is pressed the LEDs scroll to the right. Hardware: The circuit diagram of the project is shown in Figure 1. […]
PC Interfacing a GameBoy Camera using PIC18F4620 microcontroller
PC Interfacing a GameBoy Camera Here’s another past project of mine from a couple of years ago. At that time I was looking for a low-res camera for simple robotics image processing, and all I had experience with was PIC (12, 16, and 18) microcontrollers. So I didn’t really get to work on the images real time (not enough […]
Servomotor-based mobile robot control
Project description: Mobile robots are used in many industrial, commercial, research, and hobby applications. This project is about the control of a mobile robot using servomotors. The robot used in this project is the base of a popular mobile robot known as Boe Bot, developed by Parallax (www.parallax.com and www.stampinclass.com). The basic robot is controlled […]
How-to: USB remote control receiver using pic microcontoller
ow that we listen to MP3s, and watch XVIDs or x264s, a computer is the entertainment center in at least one room of most homes. Unless you have a special HTPC, though, you’re probably stuck using the keyboard to pause, change the volume, and fast-forward through annoying Mythbusters recaps. PC remote control receivers range from […]
Door lock opener
description This circuit can be used to operate an electric strike or an electromagnetic lock on a door. It is not the door being opened/closed, but a small electromagnetic strike which unlocks the door. The opener has the following features currently programmed in software: automatic operation when a guest pushes the doorbell, the strike is […]

The system uses a fully independent module design , DIY leave enough space to the user can use any combination of the modules for a […]
Connect ADC with PIC16F877
ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) module is available with a number of PIC MCU modules. ADC is an electronic circuit that converts continuous signals to discrete digital numbers. ADC Library provides you a comfortable work with the module. Library Routines ADC_Init ADC_Get_Sample ADC_Read ADC_Init Prototype void ADC_Init(); Returns Nothing. Description This routine initializes PIC’s internal […]

Connect CAN Protocol with PIC
The mikroC PRO for PIC provides a library (driver) for working with the CAN module. The CAN is a very robust protocol that has error detection and signalization, self–checking and fault confinement. Faulty CAN data and remote frames are re-transmitted automatically, similar to the Ethernet. Data transfer rates depends on the distance. For example, 1 […]
