Couple of weeks ago I purchased from eBay one of these amazingly cheap an useful modules with MAX7219 LED driver and 8 digit LED display. It is ideal for frequency counter project. The problem was the absence of library for PIC microcontrolers. Luckily, I found a great library for Arduino and I reworked it to […]

It’s no the first time that we present a localizer without GPS. We remake the old device with the cheaper SimCom module SIM900. In the previous post we present the GSM section and now we can present the complete localizator. Introduction This system allows for localization without directly using GPS technology; we are able to

Here is a library to interface your PIC code to an LCD that is controlled via a serial line. One such LCD is available from Scott Edwards Electronics. There are many others, and the code shown here can easily be adpated to other LCD displays by changing some defines. The following files are referenced below,

This page is dedicated to everybody needs to program a PIC (Microchip) device via USB port. Looking on the web for ready-to-use projects, I found a good one called Open Programmer, coming with several schematics, PCBs and Open Source code. The original link is http://openprog.altervista.org/OP_ita.html What concerned me was the need to mount, on the mainboard, a

LCD Serial Terminal Introduction: In the 1980s a serial terminal was a big thing with a picture tube and keyboard. You used it to communicate with a computer by RS-232 cable or with a modem. In this century, we still sometimes have need for a serial terminal, and we’ll typically use a personal computer running

For a recent project, I needed to boost the output from a USB (high ampage charging) port from 5V up to 18V to power an amplified speaker. I decided to try rolling my own boost converter (mainly because playing with big inductors sounded cool). My first attempt was a dismal failure (it could only source about 10mA

PIC Stroboscope You have probably been to a party where there is a strobe and it delays everything. Today we are going to use this principle to “slow” stuff (fans) down. Maybe you have seen one using 555 timers, the Arduino and maybe even the Propeller chip. However, have you ever seen one with a

Welcome back everybody! This video covers multitasking via timers and interrupts with the PIC 18F4550. A few notes on this video: -To keep the pace of the video going I added fast forwarding more than in the previous videos. Please let me know in the comments if this was helpful or better compared to the
