Easy Debugging Terminal using pic microcontroller

Build a simple 9600 BAUD 8n1 LCD terminal for debugging and testing the projects having RS232C output. Introduction This LCD terminal provide two modes of operation by selecting jumper J1. When J1 is open the terminal operate as a normal ascii display terminal, when J1 is closed the terminal displays the input serial data in

TTL to RS232 Signal Conversion

Methods: Use a TTL HI output for the RS232 GND: Steve Walz of armory.com says “Use a TTL HI output for the RS232 *GROUND*!! Then you get +/-5VDC levels to fake out the RS232. When TTL-GND goes HI, then a TTL-XMT LO looks like -5VDC and a “mark”. Even sign problems go away in hardware!

A pic programmer circuit based on AN589

AN589 is microchip’s application note for a parallel port pic programmer circuit which I chose as I wanted something reliable to get up and running quickly. It is really quite a simple circuit and its main objective is to provide ICSP connections to your pic microcontroller. Here is the pcb version (click to enlarge): Note:

PIC Projects using pic microcontroller

Some of the various PICs from Microchip, 16F84, 16F627, 16F628, 16F876 and a 16F877. So far, I have only played around with the PIC16F84 PIC chip, with exception to using a PIC16F876 with the HamHUD. I have found the most documentation is on the 16F84. I have also found the most homebrew programmers for this

How to build a speed detector for a coilgun project

If you are building a coilgun (or gauss gun) or rail gun, a necessary part of your project will likely be some sort of speed detector. Getting a coilgun to work is rewarding, but you can’t continue the project without a reliable, accurate device to measure speed. A speed or velocity detector allows you to

5 transistor PIC programmer *Schematic added to step 9!

Make your own PIC programmer for your computer’s parallel port. This is a variation of David Tait’s classic design. It is very reliable and there is good programming software available for free. I like IC-Prog and PICpgm programmer. Best of all, it uses just two voltage regulator and 5 transistors! *** I added a pic
