I was trying to think of a suitable name for this project, and after literally seconds of careful deliberation, I gave up and decided to call it Fluffy. Sorry. Anyway, Fluffy is a SX programmer for people who havealready experimented with PIC chips, and want to try out the Scenix SX family. I built Fluffy […]

What is a PIC Microcontroller? PIC (Peripheral Interface Controller) is a microcontroller family developed by the Microchip Technology. It plays important role in embedded systems.Low cost, serial programming capability, reprogramming of the flash memory, availability of free developing tools, large user database, etc. are some of the PIC microcontroller features which make it a best

Overview This project has come about from my desire to control my home heating from work. As I have a VPN between work and home a straightforward relay controlled from a PC would seem the easiest solution. However I also wanted a control unit that I could operate in the house without resorting to the
I’m trying to build this dual DC motor module for my robot project And I did not have the space for placing an ICSP pin header on the PCB. So i quickly mocked up this design. Step 1: Geting the parts Well to build the ICSP socket with header for the PICkit 2. We need

Hello Friends, Welcome back. In the last tutorial we started working with MPLab and HI-TECH C Compiler and written our first C program to blink LED. After compiling the program we got the HEX file. Now, in this tutorial we will see how to transfer(burn) the hex file to our Microcontroller chip and then power it
