Several automated and semi-automated devices require a message to be displayed in order to indicate their working status. In continuation to LCD interfacing with PIC18F4550, this article explains how to display a message or string on a 16×2 character LCD. In the previous article, a single character was displayed on LCD by properly configuring its […]

For quite some time I’ve been wanting to create a device that outputs VGA signals. My main goal was of course to be able to display whatever I wanted on the monitor I was currently using. After extensively researching to see if this project had previously been attempted (or anything similar) I became very frustrated

Hi everybody Ages and ages ago, I posted this and many people said they’d like a guide. So here it is! This is a guide for making an LCD that connects to your computer using USB, primarily intended to be external. You can see mine here. To make the board smaller, it doesn’t have the

1. Spectrum-analyzer project 2007 update Since the development of the wide-band VCO almost 10 years ago, the whole spectrum-analyzer project with all related accessories: tracking generator, harmonic converter, storage-normalizer, marker counter and accessories developed by other experimenters (Darko S57UUD) have been published in many different places: magazines “VHF-Communications”, “AMSAT-DL Journal”, “CQ ZRS” and the book

I started to develop what I call my “next generation of microcontroller projects” (I have to find a name for that), so I needed a character set fully compatible with ASCII using only 7 segment displays. When I started to determine how many characters and which ones I will use, I thought only 64 characters
The #twatch scrolls the latest trending topics from Twitter on an LCD screen. It’s a stand-alone network appliance that stays updated without a PC. It was awesome to watch #iranelection, Michael Jackson, and other historic events scroll by while we developed the #twatch. This Instructable documents the #twatch hardware and design. In addition to a

PIC MCUs and other MCUs can control such LCDs easily using either 8 data bits method or just 4 data bits, which we will be using today. Parts needed are: 1- PIC16F877A or any PIC MCU. 2- Any 16×2 LCD. 3- Breadboard. 4- Breadboard wires. 5- Soldering station -> just to prepare the LCD itself with pins. 6- MPLAB
