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 […]

Single-Axis PIC Controlled Solar Tracker DIY Kit
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 […]
Serial LCD project using PIC16F877A Microcontroller
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 […]
PIC Waveform Recorder
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 […]
LED FX using PIC12F629 Microcontroller
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 […]
HC08 Fan Timer using pic microcontroller
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 […]
Top PIC Microcontroller Projects Ideas
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 […]
PIC Microcontroller Basics and Applications for Engineeing Students
The microcontrollers plays an essential role in the embedded industry after the development of Intel 8051. The research in the field of embedded industry gave high efficient, low power consumption microcontrollers. The Arm, AVR and PIC microcontrollers are the prime examples. These microcontrollers are getting smart with communication protocols such as I2C, USB, SPI,CAN and […]
Power MOSFET RGB LED PWM Driver for PIC12F683
Description Since I published the original RGB LED driver (photo right) I’ve had many enquiries from people asking how they could make the original board work with more LEDs. I’d already made a couple of custom boards up for myself, so I finally decided it was time to put together one for the website. The […]
PIC32MX: Interfacing to a Secure Digital (SD) Flash Card
Original Assignment Do not erase this section! Your assignment is to create code that will allow the PIC32 to read and write data to a FAT32 SD card. The SD card should be able to be read by a PC after data has been written on it by the PIC32. Create functions so that it […]
