Using Fixed Voltage Reference FVR for A D conversion in enhanced mid range PIC microcontrollers

Using Fixed Voltage Reference (FVR) for A/D conversion in enhanced mid-range PIC microcontrollers

The reference voltage plays a very important role in any A/D conversion. It determines both the range and the resolution (Volt/Count) of the A/D conversion. Besides, the accuracy of the conversion also depends upon how stable the reference voltage is. Usually in PIC microcontrollers, the reference voltage for A/D conversion can be selected as the […]

Programmable watch with four character

Programmable watch with four character display using PIC16F628A microcontroller

Programmable watch with four character display You’ll be the talk of the town when you wear this obnoxious, oversized, completely impractical wristwatch. Display your favourite foul language, song lyrics, prime numbers, etc. Inspired by the Microreader kit, I decided to make a giant watch using similar sixteen segment displays. Twelve hours later, I came out

LED Strobe for PIC12F629 675 schematic

LED Strobe for PIC12F629 / 675

 Description This project functions as a simple strobe for driving an LED.  The use of an output transistor allows it to pulse the strobe LED with a current up to 100mA. Four jumpers provide options for changing the pulse width, strobe repeat interval and single or double strobe flash.  The programmer ready code has default
