Just one PIC to use it as counter with multiple functions. Here is the pin information: PIN FUNCTIONS: CLEAR/COUNT – GND to clear count, VSS to count. SAVE COUNT – GND start from zero on power up, VSS continue last count. C CATHODE/C ANODE – GND to use COMMON CATHODE Display, VSS to use […]
A smart control knob and pan designed for the absent-minded chef! The Smart-O-Pan takes the constant vigilance out of your culinary creations, making cooking bdddoth simple and safe. I designed the smart-o-pan with people like my mom in mind. I was the family chef for a number of years but since attending university, she’s taken
Reverse Engineering to Emulate Ink Cartridges for a Epson Printer For the past two years, I’ve been planning to build myself a 3D printer from some old Inkjet printers that I had collected over the years. But not until two weeks ago had I actually started to work on it. The 3D printer I want

Introduction Controlled by a PIC 32, the automated ice cream topper stores individual ice cream topping preferences, outputting the user’s ideal solid, liquid, and whip cream topping amount with the push of a button. Our project demo can be viewed here: Project Demo. The automatic ice cream topper as demoed had three basic topping capabilities that
Introduction When sailing a boat, one of the most important factors is the direction of the wind. If they want to keep a steady heading, sailors need to be able to dynamically adjust the direction they steer as the wind changes. Unfortunately, the ability to tell exactly which direction the wind is blowing can be
Introduction Our final project for ECE 4760: Digital Design Using Microcontrollers is a portable keyboard digital synthesizer using the PIC32MX250F128B microcontroller. The PIC creates various sound effects using direct digital synthesis (DDS) and frequency modulation (FM) synthesis which can be modified using user input on our keyboard’s easy-to-use user interface (UI). Our synthesizer is also
Introduction Our ECE 4760 final project was an image plotting system with high-level processing done in a MATLAB script we wrote and the low-level control software done on the PIC32MX250F128B microprocessor. Our MATLAB program takes images and extracts endpoints of line segments and sends the coordinates over to the PIC32 via UART serial communication. The
Introduction For this project, we constructed an oscilloscope using the PIC32. The inspiration for this project came from the oscilloscopes we used in lab throughout the semester. These oscilloscopes allowed people to view and understand the behavior of a circuit. Without oscilloscopes, many of the circuits we built in class would have been extremely difficult
INTRODUCTION Sometimes it is difficult to judge the ripeness of fruit visually, or we simply forget about our fruits until they are rotten. By using spectroscopy to monitor the change in the color of fruits, this device can track the ripeness of a variety of fruits including bananas and oranges. The system consists of a
This post answers the question, “How to capture a pulse to generate an interrupt in PIC16F877” ? Also, using PIC16 simulator (Proteus) you can verify this external interrupt code and change it according to your needs. This code is written in C language using MPLAB with HI-TECH C compiler. You can download this code from the
