Digital Thermometer using LM35 and PIC microcontroller

Digital Thermometer using LM35 and PIC Microcontroller

In this tutorial, we are making a Digital Thermometer using PIC microcontroller and LM35 Temperature Sensor. In this project, we will sense the temperature using LM35 and display it on 16×2 LCD. LM35 Temperature Sensor is accurate and cheaper and doesn’t require any external calibration. The output voltage is proportional to Celsius temperature scale and changes by 10mV

Prepaid Energy Meter with GSM Modem using pic microcontroller

Prepaid Energy Meter with GSM Modem using pic microcontroller

In this tutorial will learn how to interface ADC0804(Analog to Digital Converter) with 8051(89c51,89c52) microcontroller. 8051 microcontrollers are pretty old and don’t have a build in analog to digital converter in them unlike their new rivals(Arduino, Pic microcontroller and many more). Hence we can not directly measure any analog value (voltage, Temperature present in the

AC Voltage measurement using PIC16F877A microcontroller

AC Voltage measurement using PIC16F877A microcontroller

Note: Microcontroller  PIC16F73  can be used instead of pic16f877a. This time we will see how to measure AC voltage parameters with the help of micro-controller. First we will know about AC voltage parameters, then we will do the whole work step by step. What is AC(Alternating Current): “In alternating current (AC, also ac), the flow of electric charge periodically reverses direction.

PIC based Digital Voltmeter DVM

PIC-based Digital Voltmeter (DVM)

Introduction This project will describe how to make a simple digital voltmeter (DVM) using a PIC16F688 microcontroller. The range of this DVM is 0-20V, but you can easily increase or decrease the range of input voltage as your requirements after you understand the voltage scaling method described in this project. The PIC micro reads the
