IOT Home Automation

For our ECE4760 final project we built a wireless star network with the PIC32  for remote monitoring and automation. Meant to augment users’ abilities to gain insight into their homes through a monitoring station, our system is designed around reliable communication between individual low-cost nodes communicating at 2.4GHz which can be easily added or removed.

Receive Side Circuitry

RF Motion Controlled Robot

Introduction For our final project, we designed and implemented a remote-control car with a user-controlled steering wheel interface. We wanted a user interface that was immediately intuitive and familiar, which we thought a steering wheel with an onboard accelerometer definitely accomplished. Additionally, we wanted a system that could realize reliable real-time remote communication, so we

PIC16F84A interrupt based software UART

PIC16F84A interrupt based software UART code and Proteus simulation

This post provides the interrupt based software UART (Bit Banging) code for PIC16F84A microcontroller. As we know, PIC16F84A microcontroller doesn’t have built in UART module, so we can create UART functionality in it’s software. This post provides the details of how to program software UART functionality in PIC16F84A. This code is written in C language using MPLAB with HI-TECH C
