1.0 INTRODUCTION I decided to build and design a midi controller which is used to send commands to a computer running a DAW(digital audio workstation) to control different parameters within it. The DAW I used is called Ableton Live. There are 16 button pads and 6 potentiometers on the front of the unit. Depending on […]

USB microcontroller PIC18F2550 is the soul of the PICKit2. The USB Data+ and Data- from PC are connected to the D+ and D- pins of the PIC182550. The built-in-clock generator of pic […]
Communicating with a micro-controller at runtime, is a very usefulfacility. It can be used for debugging, or to send commands etc. One of the easiest available protocol to communicate is UART. It requires a pin for transmit and a pin for receive, and the GROUND connection. There are many available programs that allow us to […]
Lab test bench For electrical engineering classes, basic lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and signal generators usually cost hundreds of dollars. In this project I want to implement the hardware and initial software for a small, affordable digital oscilloscope and waveform generator based off an chipKIT board. This is my Bachelor project/thesis and my main […]
Some time ago the tail light of my bike stopped working. When I opened it, there was a small PCB with some electronics and a LED in it. The problem was the push button switch that did not function. I could have replaced the switch but something about this design disturbed me. The point is […]
The flashing LED is a tried and tested way of getting your board working, but it is somewhat tired as well. Since we have been supplying the proto shield with the blueberry purchases I thought it would be a good idea to do something different with the traditional “Hello World” project.This project is intended for […]
This device is a simple access control system which uses RFID cards. It is designed with PIC12F1822 microcontroller running on internal oscillator at 16MHz. It generates 125 KHz carrier frequency and decodes the respond data stream – format H10301- FSK modulation 26 bits only. These cards (made by HID and other companies) are widely used in US. […]
This instructable describes how to use the free pfodDesignerV2 to create menus and charts for your non-Arduino based micro project. These menus and charts are then displayed by pfodApp on your Android mobile. No Android programming required. Half-Duplex operation is supported if your hardware/software does not support Full-Duplex. These instructions are also available at pfod™ for Non-Arduino based microprocessors If you […]
Starting to use PIC micro controllers for your projects? they are very useful but very frustrating when your programme just doesn’t work. This is one way to sort out your ideas by drawing a flow chart. This is the way professional programmers often create their masterpieces. Starting with a simple pencil and paper to get […]
In this tutorial, we will be learning on how to download and install necessary software required to write and do your first project with the CloudX Microcontroller, i will also be writing simple hello world project to test the complete setup. So, you’ve just bought, or are considering buying, an CloudX Starter kit. Your mind is probably full of […]
