Use a PIC Microcontroller to Control a Hobby Servo This instructable describes how to integrate hobby servos (the kind used in RC planes, cars, etc.) into your microcontroller projects. 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 […]

Simple JDM PIC Programmer I have built this project to burn my small PIC’s This is a serial programmer works on the RS232 ( PC serial port ), known as JDM Programmer, thanks to the site http://pic16f84.hit.bg/ which contains the schematic and the programmer software. The programmer is powered from the Serial port itself, so

Introduction The purpose of this project is to implement high bandwidth low latency SPI communication between the PIC32 and a target module, which in this case is the OV7670 camera. The solution implemented in this project is derivative from a need to read data from the target at a higher rate than that of which the PIC32

Introduction The Julia Set, was used to generate fractal art on the TFT. The Julia Set can be described by , where z represents a point on the complex plane and c is a complex constant. In order to allow for user manipulation and interaction, a GUI was implemented. The GUI allows for users to first
Introduction For our final project, we created two demonstrations utilizing direct memory access (DMA) in a graphics setting. Our original intent was to implement the video game DOOM on the PIC32, however that proved to be an undertaking too large given the time constraints of the project. Our preliminary exploration of implementing DOOM on the

Introduction and High-Level Design When we were brainstorming ideas, each one of us had different interests. Max wanted to do an audio-related project as he is working for McIntosh, a company that designs and manufactures handcrafted legendary home audio systems. Ben wanted to make something that would be highly visually appealing. Alek wanted to take
For our project, we designed and built a remote control tank, which uses a modified motorized nerf gun as its firing mechanism, an ultrasonic sensor in order to sense objects in its surroundings, and a bluetooth module which allows the user to control the tanks movement and firing mechanism with either our cell phone or
Introduction Audio effects are used in nearly every recorded and live song across genres, whether its reverb being added to a vocalist or noise being filtered from a drum track. When used with guitars, they’re so ubiquitous that the interesting tones they create are often already associated with the instrument (like distortion), although they can
The purpose of this project was to create an electronics kit for teaching entry level programming of embedded systems. The kit includes a development board, external hardware modules, software, and teaching materials. The hardware modules consist of a LCD display, Keypad and various user I/O. These modules were then incorporated into lessons for creating several
Getting ready You’ll need the follow hardware for this lab. Breadboard — large or medium Microstick Two resistors — 330 to 470 Ω Two LED’s Two push-down switches A small amount of wire Microchip references PIC24HJ32GP302/304, PIC24HJ64GPX02/X04 and PIC24HJ128GPX02/X04 datasheet PIC24H Family Reference Manual Pin I/O and the special function registers On the PIC microcontroller
