How I Made This 18F4550 Programmer in Ten Years

How I Made This 18F4550 Programmer in Ten Years

It really took me 10 years to build that programmer !! Don’t be surprised , I actually started building the original programming circuit of Microchip PIC 16F84 ( JDM 2 ) on 2003 and finished it in 2 days. Then on 2013 , I found that it can be reused to program the advanced Microcontroller used these days like PIC 18F4550. Here […]

Measure Temperature With an LM35

Measure Temperature With an LM35

Of all the types of measurement, temperature measurement is one that comes up the most often and is perhaps the one that is easiest to do. I heard this interesting story once from a University Grad who started a company along with a few friends developing temperature controllers. Anyway, it turns out that its a […]

Realtime OS LCD on 12 Discovery Board

Realtime OS / LCD on $12 Discovery Board

One day I had a college professor getting ready to teach us students a powerful mathematical trick in EE101 – mesh circuit analysis I think.  Before he got started he said, “Today, my students, I give you a BIG gun.”  It got our attention and I remember the quote, but sadly, I’d be hard pressed […]

Automated Power Tool Charger

Automated Power Tool Charger

Electric power tools changed the way most of us work around the house. Simple and quick, as no extension cords are needed. But they do come with some effort. I still have some power tools that are powered by old Ni-Cad or Ni-Mh batteries. They work great, but if they are not used on a […]

Installing MPLAB X for ChipKIT Products

Installing MPLAB X for ChipKIT Products

Many of you who follow my For Cheap Robots series are familiar with how to use MPIDE with chipKIT products. You may even be familiar with how to use the Arduino IDE with these boards. So far, however, I have not used MPLAB X very much. MPLAB X is a powerful IDE, made by Microchip, which gives […]
