In this tutorial I’m going to be showing you how you can send voltage values to your pc using a Pic chip, Wiimote, and Autoit3 scripting language. The process works by wiring a pic chip to the button pads of a wiimote. Then using the pic chips Analog to Digital Converter, we obtain a 10bit binary […]

Want to build your own TinyML application? This is a detailed approach to getting started with TensorFlow Lite for Microcontrollers! Story Introduction In the summer of 2022 I was selected to participate in the Google Summer of Code (GSoC) under TensorFlow. While trying to build my first project, I quickly realized that there weren’t many good beginner

Intro This is my first Instructable so I’m sorry for mistakes. Critics are always welcome 🙂 So in this project I made a development board for PIC16F1787. Now most of you guys aren’t familiar with this particular model. Some might even think why I chose 16Fxxxx series IC when I could have easily used 18Fxxxx

Inspired by COVID-19 prevention, we have developed a system that measures the temperature of persons before they enter a building by Temperature Access Point Using an AVR® DA Microcontroller. Story about temperature Access Point During the pandemic, people are being asked to have temperature checked at any local market or grocery store, which is usually done

In Tutorial 4, we learnt interfacing an HD44780-based LCD to a chipKIT board for displaying alphanumeric output. Today, we will see how to connect a NOKIA 5110 graphical LCD (used in Nokia 5110 cell phones), which is a 84×48 pixel monochrome display of about 1.5″ diagonal in size. The display can be used for graphics, text, and bitmaps. Theory Nokia

In this project, we will use the chipKIT Uno32 board to build a digital stopwatch capable of timing minutes, seconds, and 1/10th of seconds, and with a basic start and stop control feature. A MAX7219-driven 8-digit seven segment LED display is used to display the time elapsed. The Reset switch on the Uno32 board will be used

A light meter is used to measure the intensity of illumination in a given area. It is widely used in schools, warehouses, factories, hospitals, office buildings, museums, art-galleries, parking garages, stadiums, and many more, to measure and maintain proper lighting levels. The intensity of illumination is usually expressed in Lux or foot-candles. As the 4th project in our

Distinguish between metal and non-metallic objects using Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) with the Metal Detecting with PIC18-Q71 Microcontroller. Story about Metal Detecting with PIC18-Q71 This application creates a simple proximity metal detector with the Core Independent Peripherals (CIPs) in the PIC18-Q71 family of microcontrollers (MCUs) to differentiate between metallic and non-metallic objects placed near the detector coil. The CIPs
