Updated on 30.6.2015 The PIC16F876A’s ADC digitizes the sound and store it in the SD or SDHC card. The firmware works for SD or SDHC cards only, for old SD (before 2009) use ver1 firmware. Do not use SDXC cards with this project because some of them work on 1.8V drive. The code detects whether […]
Here’s another breadboard module that carries a PIC16F628A microcontroller. The power supply pins and the I/O ports of the PIC16F628A microcontroller are accessed through male headers. It can be easily plugged into a breadboard and is very useful for quick prototyping. It frees up a lot of space on the breadboard since the oscillator, reset,

Last year I bought this Etch-Set For Electronic Circuits from Jaycar with the intention of having a go at making my own printed circuit boards (PCBs). I’d had lots of experience working with those experimenter’s Stripboards and Perfboards, which had been more than sufficient for most of the fiddling I did in the past, however
This is a simple video poker game for the PIC 16F628 and a 20×4 character LCD. It’s written in PIC assembly for MPASM. I started the project in 2002. I originally intended it as a birthday present for my brother, who is an enthusiastic if occasional player of casino video poker. This Mark I version

18 pin PIC Development Board I have long been playing with Microchip PICs but have always made do without some form of development board. To that end I have designed a basic board that I was hoping to get some input for. I haven’t yet made this board as I am waiting for some kit
Now the PCB kit I used described how I could draw my circuit layouts directly unto the copper clad board using an special pen with etch-resistant ink, however lacking the dexterity of an artist I chose to get myself some CAD software for generating PCB layouts. After a bit of research I decided to go
Last year I started a project to convert my (then) four-year old’s busted Radio Controlled (RC) car into Bluetooth controlled one which could be driven using a smart phone or tablet. The original car, modeled after a “Fast and Furious” Nissan Silvia, was a pretty basic RC with 2-channel on-off (non-proportional) style controls, and while Micah enjoyed
Microcontrollers are standalone chips since they have memory and processor embedded. The integrated memory of microcontrollers store embedded code and other temporary variables for the execution of program. CircuitsGallery published many microcontroller tutorials and PIC microcontroller projects. Sometimes we may use non-volatile memories (i2c devices) with microcontrollers in case of storing permanent data. In this

This project is specially designed to measure surface mount capacitors in the range 1p to 920n and electrolytics in the range 1u to 100u. The biggest problem with surface mount capacitors . . . they are not identified! And you cannot determine their value by the size of the component. This makes it very difficult.
