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. […]

PIC Bot II

PIC-Bot II

On this page I hope to provide more details than I usually provide for those who wish to construct their own PIC-bot, realising that people actually try to make this stuff. Traditionally, my ‘bot pages are for documenting the essentials, not in the kind of detail needed to make as if it were a kit.

PIC Tetris

PIC-Tetris

Introduction I have made the game Tetris using a PIC16F84 running @ 12MHz. Tetris is an old Russian computer game where you should try to fit in block into a play-field, quite simple but really fun. All blocks are built from four bricks (the name Tetris is derived from the ancient greek word for four:
