A PIC Serial LCD Project

[advanced_iframe securitykey=”7053122eaa09ce46830dfb8aaeae454056003ad0″][advanced_iframe securitykey=”7053122eaa09ce46830dfb8aaeae454056003ad0″]This project shows you how to create a serial LCD module that you can drive from any serial RS232 interface. You may be asking yourself why is this project using RS232 when computers are no longer even produced with a serial port as standard? There are three reasons: Most microcontrollers come with a UART […]

The Glowing Green Robot

Robots look cooler when they have a sinister green glow. Better yet, when that glow exists for a functional purpose it’s even better! Here I show how to make a custom robot and use LED’s to not only enhance line following, but also make it work in the dark too. Step 1: The Mechanical Design

A PIC Ultrasonic distance meter project using a Seven Segment display and a PIC micro.

The PIC Ultrasonic distance meter works by transmitting a short pulse of sound at a frequency inaudible to the ear (ultrasonic sound or ultrasound). Afterwards the microcontroller listens for an echo. The time from transmission to echo reception lets you calculate the distance from the object. PIC Ultrasonic Distance Meter Specification Range ~5cm – 300cm

The Rock

This robot is controlled by a visual basic program (through the serial port), and can move in three different velocities by a pulse width modulated (PWM) signal generated by a PIC microcontroller (16F877). The robot can be operated in two modes, “normal control” and “light tracker” modes. In the normal control mode, the robot can

Analog Experiments Anywhere

Two DIY micro-controller based USB connected electronic units which along with the Texas Instruments Analog System Lab Starter kit and a laptop permit you to conduct analog experiments anywhere. It would be wonderful if senior students and laboratory supervisors built these units so that they could be used in their laboratories by freshers. Aj-SigGen-PS

Serial LCD Controller

I discovered a flaw in the current design that will only allow the controller to work with a connection to the computer and not to a microcontroller. I’ve updated the schematic below and will fix the controller design. I’ve added a project file below that also includes the fixed schematic. If you look at the
