a kill switch that would turn the vehicle off once the user is done controlling

Robot Car Controlled by Hand Motions

Introduction: For our final project in ECE 4760: Design with Microcontrollers, we decided to explore the concept of controlling a vehicle with the user’s hand orientation relative to the ground. By the end of the semester, we designed a cheap and effective hand controlled vehicle using the PIC32 microcontroller. This project is comprised of two

PIC12F675 interrupt based software UART

PIC12F675 interrupt based software UART code and Proteus simulation

This post provides the interrupt based software UART (Bit Banging) code for PIC12F675 microcontroller. As we know, PIC12F675 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 PIC12F675. This code is written in C language using MPLAB with HI-TECH C compiler.

Interfacing of PIC12F675 with DS1307

Interfacing of PIC12F675 with DS1307 (RTC) code and Proteus simulation

This post provides the code for interfacing DS1307 RTC with PIC12F675 microcontroller. This DS1307 RTC has i2c based interface and PIC12F675 doesn’t have any built in i2c modules, so software i2c module is created in the code. This code is written in C language using MPLAB with HI-TECH C compiler. You can download this code from the ‘Downloads‘ section at the bottom of

Autonomously Hovering Quadcopter

Autonomously Hovering Quadcopter

We designed, constructed and tested an autonomous quadcopter that used an IMU to control its attitude and a radio to transmit data to a controller, which we also built. The project focused on making the quadcopter as autonomous as possible, so only high level commands such as flight time are sent from the controller to
