Display custom characters on 16×2 lcd using Microchip Pic16f877 Microcontroller

Display custom characters on 16×2 lcd using Microchip Pic16f877 Microcontroller

Here is a simple project on how to build/generate/make custom characters in 16×2 lcd and then print/display them on lcd using microchip pic16f877 microcontroller. Character lcd contains a set of ascii characters and some Chinese characters in their controllers. We invoke the ascii characters present in the ram for displaying them on lcd. But if

Measuring Temperature using LM74 temperature sensor by Texas Instruments and Pic18f452 Microcontroller

Measuring Temperature using LM74 temperature sensor by Texas Instruments and Pic18f452 Microcontroller

In this post i am going to interface LM74 temperature sensor with Pic18f452 microcontroller. LM74 is a temperature sensor by Texas Instruments. It comes with an SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) interface. You can operate it in SPI (Serial Peripheral Interface) mode. A processor/microcontroller can read temperature reading from LM74 at any time. LM74 provides resolution of up to

Interfacing DHT11 with PIC16F877A for Temperature and Humidity Measurement

Interfacing DHT11 with PIC16F877A for Temperature and Humidity Measurement

Temperature and Humidity measurement is often useful in many applications like Home Automation, Environment Monitoring, Weather station, etc. The most popularly used Temperature sensor next to LM35 is the DHT11, we have previously built many DHT11 Projects by interfacing it with Arduino, with Raspberry Pi and many other development boards. In this article, we will learn how to interface this DHT11 with PIC16F87A which is an

PIC IoT WG Development Board Review – What’s new and How to Get Started with it

PIC IoT WG Development Board Review – What’s new and How to Get Started with it

The three main parameters to consider while developing a portable IoT device would be Low Power Consumption, Wireless Connectivity, and Security. With exactly these three in mind, Microchip has launched a new development board called the PIC IoT WG. The board is powered by a 16-bit PIC microcontroller with ATWINC Wi-Fi module and many more interesting things.
