This instructable covers the interface of 8051 microcontroller with the cheap 315/433MHz RF module. This comes in handy in different kinds of wireless connectivity projects like Robotics, Wireless Level sensors, etc. The sensor is really cheap, typically about $5. I have implemented this module with other controllers such as Arduino and Pic, but the 8051 […]

All you AVR user fraternity out there, and those just entering the stream, Some of you started with PIC microcontrollers and some started with ATMEL AVRs, this is written for you ! So you bought a USBASP because its cheap and effective to flash the ROM on your Atmega device, or maybe the ATTINY range.

here is our our first tutorial on Instructable so be indulgent. This tutorial shows the method of using an Arduino UNO board as a PIC microcontroller programmer. This method has been tested with PIC 18F2550 and 18f4550 but can be used to program the following pic: 18F2420 18F2455 18F2520 18F2550 18F4420 18F4455 18F4520 18F4550 The

Note : This hack is only needed if your usb-serial does not support the BREAK functionality. Else, it may work with as it is, with the usual programming software like PicPgm, WinPic etc. Usually the DIY programmers like JDM do not work for usb-serial converters. Voltage levels, timings, and missing functionality like setbreak() causes issues.

Introduction: In this project we discuss about “Pure Sine Wave Inverter”. This is a basic need of our daily life because normally used inverter in our daily life this is square wave output. We make pure sine wave inverter for better future and save our home appliances and good efficiency of inverter. In this pure

Well I’m bringing home pic programmer, inexpensive clone pickit2 and support products microchip pic 18F2550 is used, this controller has an output voltage of 3.3v and 5v for different pic’s that use different voltages. Well this programmer is built because here in my country Mexico, a PicKit2 costs about $ 35 and to create this

It really took me 10 years to build that programmer !! Don’t be surprised , I actually started building the original programming circuit of Microchip PIC 16F84 ( JDM 2 ) on 2003 and finished it in 2 days. Then on 2013 , I found that it can be reused to program the advanced Microcontroller used these days like PIC 18F4550. Here
