Stepping Into the 16 bit World with the Microchip 16 bit PIC24F16KA102 Family Microcontroller

Stepping Into the 16-bit World with the Microchip 16-bit PIC24F16KA102 Family Microcontroller

One of the commonly asked questions when we move to the bigger and powerful 16-bit microcontroller is do we really need it? As the 8-bit microcontroller is already suite almost all of our needs from a simple blinking LED to more sophisticated embedded application such as robotics. Despite the debate whether to use the 8-Bit

Interfacing the Microchip PIC18F Microcontroller Master Synchronous Serial Port MSSP to various I2C Devices

Interfacing the Microchip PIC18F Microcontroller Master Synchronous Serial Port (MSSP) to various I2C Devices

The Inter-Integrated Circuit or I2C (read as I square C) bus has been introduced in 1980 by Philips, and has become a de-facto world standard for data exchange between Microcontroller and various devices such as temperature sensor, ADC (analog to digital converter), DAC (digital to analog converter), I/O expander, EEPROM, and many more. With more
