A small PCB allows for the out-of-circuit programming of 18 & 28 pin SOIC PIC Microcontrollers from either an ICSP programmer or ZIF socket. A recent article in a popular electronics magazine presented a small printed circuit board for programming 18-pin SOIC PICs from a ZIF socket. Looking at the design I knew instinctively that […]

PIC32 ICSP Programmer v1.0 is based on a simple PIC32MX270F256B microcontroller basic circuit. It connects to a PC via USB 2.0 port and therefore needs no external power supply. It may be used to program a PIC32 microcontroller on a circuit via ICSP interface or you may add a programming header. It basically works similar

This instructable describes how to integrate hobby servos (the kind used in RC planes, cars, etc.) into your microcontroller projects. Step 1: How Servos are Different from Regular Motors In a regular DC motor, the amount of torque the motor exerts on the shaft is proportional to the amount of current flowing through the motor.

This project is a micro controller chess game. The objective has to be able to play chess on a VGA monitor, including an intelligent computer to play against. This all has been accomplished with a microcontroller. I started this as a project for the college ( I am a Electrical Engineering student ), but it
Galvanic from PC isolated PIC programmer The Wisp648 from www.voti.nl is an In Circuit Serial Programmer to program a flash PIC which mostly can stay in your circuit. No irritating doings like pulling the PIC out of the PCB, place it in the programmer, programming it, pull it out the programmer and place it back

Here’s the minimal code to make timer 1 (a 16 bit timer) work using PICBasic. General descriptions of PIC timer variables used to control the timer: (you should be able to use these no matter what programming language you use): T1CON.0 is the first bit of the timer configuration byte, this bit is used to

These days I was thinking about a better PIC programmer that can work with MicrochipMPLAB IDE software so that I can write my own programs or edit someone else’s programs. I found that there are numerous versions of the famous Microchip PICkit 2 on the web. Some of them are using the original schematic published
