Introduction It’s time for 8-pin microcontroller Microchip PIC12C508, the SAVER V3.2, my latest design of a device that turns a night light on and off everyday. The circuit uses only a PIC12C508 8-pin CMOS micontroller and a small triac, MAC97A6. The Saver V3.2 also demonstrates the use PCW PIC C Compiler. Circuit Description The schematic […]

A Programmable Home Automation System
Introduction The PIC Mesh is a distributed programmable network capable of building motion sensitive alarm systems, automatic lighting, door alarms and various other home automation systems in a matter of minutes. In this project, we built a mesh network of PIC32 devices using low-cost, low-power nordic radios. We modified an existing nrf24 library to support targeted and […]
Temperature controlled fan using PIC 16F877A
You might have come across several applications where we need to control a specific device based on analog parameter. This Embedded system works in a similar concept where we are about to control the speed of a DC motor using based on the external temperature. The rise in temperature will result in increase in speed […]
Autonomous Foosball Table
I was contacted by somebody who suggested I should enter our senior design project here. Seeing as how we found and used the AX-12s from Trossen Robotics, I figured this would be a great place to post. This project was our senior design, a semester long course that requires a team of electrical and computer […]
PIC16F84 Based Morse Code Reader
So you want to become a HAM, or you’ve got one of those no-code licences, but like me feel somewhat lacking,… not having obtaining that age old badge of proficiency that differientiated the HAM from other radio operators. However, like thousands and thousands of others, you have trouble learning the code. The problem for most […]
Harmonic Distortion Meter using PIC18F2550
The 3rd harmonic distortion meter has been designed for measuring the quality of AC supply. The meter is built with a PIC18F2550 project board and the full wave rectifier front-end circuit. The AC power line, 220VAC is measured through the step down isolation transformer. The input signal to the 10-bit ADC is full wave rectified. […]
Green Charger
Introduction Have you ever gone to the beach on a hot summer day with your family only to complain that your phone is so low on battery that you can’t even take a selfie? Have you ever been concerned that you’re not putting on enough sunscreen, or sunscreen that isn’t strong enough? Have you always […]
Blink LED with XC8 compiler using external Oscillator
In the simple tutorial we are going to blink few simple led with PIC18F microcontroller, using an external 20MHz crystal oscillator and the ‘__Delay ()’ function of XC8 Compiler. Most of the previous tutorials here dealt with internal oscillator of pic18F4550 where mostly the delays were generated with simple for loops. However those who wish […]
