An extremely simple and low-cost Sine/Square wave generator, known as the “Custom Function Generator,” is developed based on the Analog Devices AD9835 Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) Generator chip.. The frequency can be set for any frequency from 1Hz to 10MHz in 1Hz resolution steps! All this with three push buttons and a novel “sliding window”

PIC ICSP gives you a convenient way of programming PIC Micros without removing the chip from the development or production board. Note: ICSP stands for In Circuit Serial Programming. All you need is a programmer that provides the ICSP connector (usually a six pin molex/dupont connector) which you plug into your target board. For example

This post provides the software UART (Bit Banging) code for PIC12F675 microcontroller (e-g to connect PIC controller with PC using serial adapter). As we know, PIC12F675 microcontroller doesn’t have built in UART module, so we can create UART functionality in it’s software. This post provides the details of how to program software UART functionality in PIC12F675. This

Servo systems use the error sensing negative feedback method to provide precise angular motion. Servo Motors are used where precise control on angular motion is needed. Servo motors are widely used in the field of Robotics to design robotic arms, palms, legs and so on. They are also used in RC toys like RC helicopter,

How to interpret the direction of rotation from a digital rotary switch with a PIC The objective for this Instructable is to illustrate how to interface a digital (quadrature coded) rotary switch with a microcontroller. Don’t worry, I’ll explain what quadrature coded means for us. This interface and the accompanying software will allow the microcontroller
ow that we listen to MP3s, and watch XVIDs or x264s, a computer is the entertainment center in at least one room of most homes. Unless you have a special HTPC, though, you’re probably stuck using the keyboard to pause, change the volume, and fast-forward through annoying Mythbusters recaps. PC remote control receivers range from

Potentiometers find applications in many electrical devices. For example, a light dimmer uses a potentiometer to control the brightness of lamps. In amplifiers, they are used to control the output volume of the music, or change the bass level. In an adjustable power supply we see potentiometers to vary the output voltage and current. In

Both, Parallel and Serial modes of communication have certain advantages and disadvantages over one another. The serial communication is a preferred option due to its ability of long distance communication with error detection capability. The microcontrollers consist of an inbuilt hardware unit known as USART (Universal Synchronous Asynchronous Reception and Transmission) to facilitate serial transfer
