To state the blindingly obvious, there are many flavors of microcontroller in the world. There are innumerable applications for them too. This Instructable will cover the steps necessary to blink a LED using a PIC microcontroller and Microchip assembly language, showing you how to access and use some of the device’s hardware peripherals To do […]
I am a big fan of LEDs. Bright, colorful, flashing LEDs. So, given my affinity for LEDs, I decided to work on a controller that me and a few of my friends could use as an art project/passive information display. I have posted videos from the first prototypes (here and here), but it has been
An LED Dice using a PIC 16F84 (or 16F88) This is a re-print of a project that I made a number of years ago – I was trawling the web, and discovered that others had been making it, so I decided to put the detail here on instructables.com – so that others can benefit. Many
1.a History: The first single-chip microprocessor was the 4-bit Intel 4004 released in 1971. With the Intel 8008 and more capable microprocessors available over the next several years. These however all required external chip(s) to implement a working system, raising total system cost, and making it impossible to economically computerize appliances. The first computer

Wooden LED clock I really like concept. So many different types of wooden clock have been already built. I’ve seen many of them but I still don’t have my own. What a shame. I’m going to fix it right now. Project is very simple and requires only few common wooden materials and hand tools. Well,

What does it do? The Disco Lights project is what you get when you combine the fantastic beat detection circuitry of my ever popular beat triggered strobe light with coloured halogen lamps! In other words, four coloured lights flash in a variety of patterns in time with your music. Some seriously cool patterns can be
Driving a 64 LED dot matrix LED display is quite simple and just requiresONE TRICK! Here you can find out how to drive an led dot matrix with 64 LEDs (8 rows by 8 columns – 8×8 display) or less e.g. 35 LEDs (7 rows by 5 columns – 5×7 dot matrix). However the principle remains the

A lot of you may heard about microcontrollers and its applications. Well it is a bit difficult to start learning microcontrollers. And the guides and tutorials also do not start from zero level which makes learning far more difficult than anticipated. I have tried to start from zero level in here also. All you need

This month I am continuing with the PIC projects that I started in August. To be able to build this circuit you must build the August circuit which allows you the ability to program PIC’s. The circuit this month is a simple 8 light chaser built around a PIC. This will demonstrate how easy it
The lamp in my bedroom is a very cheap lamp from Wal-Mart. It stands in one corner of my room, opposite of the door. This is where the problem is: If it is dark, I have to walk across the room, not trip on anything, find the small knob to twist to turn on the
