Make a very cheap, relatively easy to construct robot which will wake up any time you shine a desk lamp on it. There are no sensors on it, although I suppose the solar panel can be called a sensor. I plan on adding solar panels and another motor, and making it controlled by a PIC […]

A simple project to test and display the transmitted codes from remote controls which work with the RC5 protocol, like the TV remotes from Philips, just aim the remote control at the TSOP1736 IR-receiver. If you only want to know the code from a button then you can ofcourse also look at the RC5 tables

Abstract: We have developed a mechatronic system to solve the famous Tower of Hanoi problem as part of a Carnegie Mellon University class. This class seeks solutions which solve the problem in under three minutes for the four disk case, using only the number of disks, source peg, and destination peg as user inputs. Our

In this Instructable we’ll show you hot to make a GSM Access Control System for your hackerspace/garage/house/bedroom/dormroom/laboratory just like the one we built for eLab Hackerspace. We only used some scavenged parts but they can be replaced with similar parts with minor changes. This system allows you to control who can access the space where

Required Hardware In order to program and debug a PIC microcontroller, you will need a few pieces of hardware. ICD-U40 The ICD-U40 is an In-Circuit-Debugger/Programmer that allows the user, through CCS C Windows IDE, to program and interactively debug a PIC microcontroller. 5V DC Power Supply Although the 4520 board has a voltage regulator that

This is my first instructable, so I hope everything is clear and hoping you find it interesting, and would appreciate any feedback, so here I go. I am sill testing this device with other people, but personally I have found my dream recall has improved dramatically, wow! some of the dreams are totally amazing. WARNING. Because

The USB keypad reference design demonstrates crystal free USB operation. Microchip has partnered with Lumvatech to demonstrate a low-cost aesthetic design, with touch capability and LED lighting integrated. All features are driven with a single PIC16F1459 MCU. USB is one of the most common serial interfaces used in a wide variety of applications. The USB
When I saw the Aurora LED 9×18 Instructable, I was inspired. However, it’s built on the PIC microcontroller while I am most familiar with the AVR microcontrollers. Plus, I already have the development and programming environments for AVRs, so I set about a redesign as a personal challenge. I wanted to make something (almost) just
Since 2008, PIC Microcontroller has provided students, hobbyists, and engineers with quality PIC projects, tutorials, PDFs, software, tools, and embedded systems resources.
