Extend PIC Microcontroller‘s RAM by without using EMI

Extend PIC Microcontroller‘s RAM by without using EMI

Introduction Virtually all PIC microcontrollers have some banking mechanism to extend addressing to additional memory space. But this external data memory is not directly addressable (except in some high versions of PIC18 devices, which include PIC18F8520, PIC18F6620, etc.). In this post we describe easy to implement external memory interface for PIC microcontrollers. Theoretically most of […]

Re Doing my Design for a circuit to control an invention using a Microchip PIC microcontroller chips.

Re-Doing my Design for a circuit to control an invention using a Microchip PIC microcontroller chips.

In a previous article I described how I designed the circuitry to control functions of the asparagus harvester.  After bread boarding up a test circuit and doing some initial programming I decided a re-do was in order. I found I had a lot of unnecessary redundancy and I also decided to put the air regulation

Microcontroller Clapper Switch

Microcontroller Clapper Switch

Introduction I always thought the clapper so cool. For those who are lazy like me, turn on or off the bedroom light without getting out of bed, simple clap your hands is amazing. Thinking about it I projected one for me. Several projects of clappers can be found on the Internet, and most of them

Using the MAX6955 LED Display Driver with a PIC Microcontroller to Scroll Messages

Abstract: A circuit and program listing for using the MAX6955 LED display driver with a PIC microcontroller and 14-segment displays. The MAX6955 is an LED display driver with an I2C™-compatible, serial interface capable of supporting Fast Mode speeds up to 400kHz. It is capable of driving sixteen 7-segment, eight 14-segment, eight 16-segment or 128 separate LEDs.
