How to getting started with microcontrollers projects using PIC12F629 microcontroller

Microcontrollers are, basically, a computer in a single chip. It contains memory, processor, I/O ports (I/O = Input/Output) and other periphericals. Can you believe a single chip does contain RAM, ROM, CPU, I/O Ports, timers and other gadgets? It only needs a keyboard and display to be a working computer… …I almost forgot; It also […]

CAD design of Flippers and Actuation Mechanism

PIC BALL MACHINE

Introduction Our ECE 4760 final project is PICBall: a PIC32-powered, old-school pinball machine! When trying to come up with a project that would encompass multiple parts of the class, we figured a more physical project (as opposed to virtual project) would be the most fitting. At the same time, per the recommendations given on the

Segment ASCII table character Set

7-Segment ASCII character Set A 127-character ASCII table for 7-segment LED or LCD displays using PIC16C84

I started to develop what I call my “next generation of microcontroller projects” (I have to find a name for that), so I needed a character set fully compatible with ASCII using only 7 segment displays. When I started to determine how many characters and which ones I will use, I thought only 64 characters

SmartCube DOLORS

Introduction DOLORS is a smart lamp that, paired with a Raspberry Pi, is capable of showing live weather information upon request, such as the temperature and sky condition. Additionally, it provides dynamic animation modes with vibrant colors and computer vision features. The main reason for building the SmartCube DOLORS was to have an easily accessible
