In this post I’m going to show you how to interface an I2C Real Time Clock – RTC with PIC microcontroller. Only a basic hardware configuration and a communication protocol are presented here. I’m planning to extend it to a more advanced design in a near future. Although PCF8573 was used a similar IC’s like […]
Build a low-cost and very simple serial programmer for a PIC16F84 Microchip Flash Microcontroller. Below picture is my personal writer for F84 chip, it works very nice with Nigel WPicProg V1.20. Introduction I finally found a very nice universal window based software designed to work with any serial programmers for PIC16F84, i.e., WPicProg16 V1.20, written […]
The abbreviation of PIC is the “Peripheral Interface Controller”, and it is a family of the microcontroller. This microcontroller is manufactured by various companies like the microchip, NXP etc. This microcontroller comprises Analog to digital converters, memories, timers/counters, serial communication and interrupts assembled into a single IC. When we select PIC microcontrollers for PIC projects […]
Here is a simple example for PIC microcontroller interfacing Unipolar stepping motor with assembly code. Instead of using a dedicated stepper motor driver IC like very popular L293D PIC16F with ULN2003A were used. Just 4 I/O Pins are required to drive each coil of the motor. By energizing each coil in a particular sequence you can control the […]
Hi All I’m not going into as much depth with this instructable due to my current time constraints. That said, I fully plan on updating this instructable as time progresses with new algorithms and programs for optimization. Intro: I was messing around with some new stepper motors one day, and I decided to make a […]
This project shows you how to create a serial LCD module that you can drive from any serial RS232 interface. It uses a pure ASCII command set so you can control it easily from a terminal program such as Hyperterminal. There are no ‘odd’ command sequences such as 0xef to define a command – you can […]
In this article I’ll show you how you can use PIC microcontroller to record and store waveform patterns in its EEPROM memory and replay the sequence later. For this purpose we’ll need a signal/waveform generator to produce the signal, PIC internal A/D converter to sample and digitize the incoming signal, external I2C 8-bit D/A PCF8591 […]
This project produces a number of effects on a set of three LEDs. You can also produce your own sequence and store it by using the 3 buttons. You can build the project on Matrix Board or buy a complete kit with pre-programmed chip. You can also program the chip yourself and use this project […]
Build a timer with Motorola Nitron MCU and using ICC08 to develop c program. Loader schematic also included. New s-record for 8-pin 68HC908QT2! My son got his fan in the bedroom. The fan has mechanical timer for 0-180mins. One day it broken. So I got the idea to use Nitron chip to replace the mechanical […]
When we are choosing PIC microcontrollers for projects on electronics or electrical, there are many options for us. Ranging from eight bit to Thirty two bits, diverse micro-controllers are accessible to go well with projects and products of different complications and cost restraints. But if we talk about student projects, it may be either major […]
