Gaming Console

PIC32 Gaming Console w/ Rapid-Developing Engine

Introduction Our project design is an exquisite PIC32-based gaming console that supports NTSC video output, audio output and takes input from a NES Controller. Also we have fully developed an easy-to-use game engine that PIC hobbyists can rapidly develop any favorite game on the console. With the console comes with a sample game that we […]

Breakout board

Breakout board for PIC16F1847 microcontroller

This is an improved version of my 18-pin PIC16F series breadboard module that I have used in many of my PIC tutorials and projects published in this website. The new version has got a +5V power supply regulator on-board and a 2.1mm female barrel jack for DC input from a wall adapter. The 18-pin PIC16F […]

PicBerry Oscilliscope and Function Generator

Introduction We created an affordable Digital Oscilliscope and Function Generator that is able to plot and produce (at the same time) generated electric signals (voltage) changing over time along a calibrated scale. The device provides the basic Digital Oscilliscope functionality of plotting the varying voltage onto a desktop monitor, and the basic Function Generator ability […]

Interface a HD44780 Character LCD with a PIC Microcontroller1

Interface a HD44780 Character LCD with a PIC Microcontroller

Introduction An HD44780 Character LCD is a liquid crystal display (LCD) display device designed for interfacing with embedded systems. These screens come in a variety of configurations including 8×1, which is one row of eight characters, 16×2, and 20×4. The most commonly manufactured configuration is 40×4 characters, which requires two individually addressable HD44780 controllers with […]

PIC12F Board V1.0

Revised version of the PIC12F microcontrollers breakout board

The 12F series of PIC microcontrollers are handy little 8-pin devices designed for small embedded applications that do not require too many I/O resources, and where small size is advantageous. These applications include a wide range of everyday products such as hair dryers, electric toothbrushes, rice cookers, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, and blenders. Despite their […]

Serial LCD

Serial LCD Module using PIC16F88

Many times when I’m working with a small MCU such as 8 pins or 18 pins MCU. I found that I don’t have enough MCU pins for parallel LCD display. So it’s good to have a one-pin-require LCD module for experiment. Acctually, serial LCDs are sale on the market but still I built it myself […]

Build your own Wireless Network detector using PIC12F629

What This Is This project is for a small electronic unit that allows the user to sense the presence and relative signal strength of wireless hotspots. It can be worn as a pendant or carried in a pocket. It is “always on” and communicates the presence and signal strength of an in-range hotspot by way […]

Automated Resistor Sorter with GUI

Introduction Our project is a resistor sorter that allows users to input multiple resistors, measure their resistance, and sort them into predefined bins or return them to the user. For a video of our sorter, please see our Project Demo. From the onset, we wanted to make a project that approached a realizable product where users […]

DIY remote control based on PIC

DIY remote control based on PIC16F628

Control up to 8 devices by this easy constructable remote control. It can work as a radio or infrared remote control, depending on the components. Each device output can be configured to be momentary (turned on while you press the button) or latched. Latched outputs can be toggled on/off by one button per channel, or […]
