USB Interface Board Driver Installation Connecting PIC18F4550 First Time This tutorial will try to explain how to make your interface development board to work for the first time. Without a Demo hex code inside PIC18F4550’s flash memory, it won’t respond even if we connect the Demo Interface Board Directly to computer. In my previous post […]

The PIC16F628A has always been my first choice for microcontroller-based projects. It is simple, inexpensive, and easily available. Due to its compact size (18 pins) it occupies lesser space on the circuit board, and meanwhile, it is powerful enough to serve most of a hobbyist’s needs. It is a very well accepted successor of the
Embedded ethernet enables microcontroller based projects to send and receive packets over the network. The board shown on the left is actual size and incorporates all the circuitry needed to enable 10BaseT communications. The board is designed to minimize the pin count needed to interface with microcontrollers. An 8 bit data bus, 4 bit address

The objective is to use readily available “off-the-shelf” low-cost consumer components where possible, and to design electronic subsystems where such components are either not readily available or are too expensive. In terms of affordability, the overall goal is to design a robot that can be made for around the price of a PC (US$1,500 to
