Breadboard module for 18-pin PIC16F microcontrollers (PCB version)

Because of their compact size, ease of use and many built-in peripherals, the 18-pin PIC16F series processors (PIC16F628A, PIC16F88, and now PIC16F1827/47) have always been my favorite microcontrollers. Many of my projects and tutorials written in this blog also use PIC16F628A and PIC16F1827 microcontrollers. As I will be using them more in the future too, …

dsPIC30F2012 breadboard

Bernard introduces us to the dsPIC microcontroller. He shows us his Arduino like project board for a dsPIC and gives advice on software development tools. This article was submitted by Bernard Klinc as part of the “Hobby parts for articles” program. Bernard received a graphic LCD module for this great article. You may remember Bernard …

Setting up the PIC Microcontroller

The following programs are examples that I use for teaching the programming of 8-bit PIC microcontrollers. A good reference is the book “Designing Embedded Systems with PIC microcontrollers: Principles and Applications” by Tim Wilmshurst. The datasheet for the PIC is also a good reference for information on the bits for each memory address register in …

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR TRANSFERRING A BREADBOARD PROTOTYPE TO CUSTOM PCB

DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS FOR TRANSFERRING A BREADBOARD PROTOTYPE TO CUSTOM PCB

In Sayanee’s Basu’s video, we can look at the design considerations in the process of taking a breadboard prototype to a custom PCB, from the microcontroller to the various subsystems, to the power, the bootloader, and even how to deal with faulty components. A breadboard can be useful for educational purposes, art projects, and even small …
