Getting started with PIC Microcontroller Programming

What is a PIC Microcontroller? PIC (Peripheral Interface Controller) is a microcontroller family developed by the Microchip Technology. It plays important role in embedded systems.Low cost, serial programming capability, reprogramming of the flash memory, availability of free developing tools, large user database, etc. are some of the PIC microcontroller features which make it a best

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:

PIC Game System

This page describes a PIC16F84-based video game system I made and first published back in the beginning of 1998. Now, beginning of 2007, nine years later I’ve updated the layout of the PCB and also updated the source code to also be able to run on a PIC16F628A as Microchip is phasing out the 16F84

How to make a Propeller Display using PIC microcontroller

How to make a ‘Propeller Display’ using PIC microcontroller

This is my first post Related to Projects and today i will describe ‘Propeller Display’ project. Me and my friend Rushi, we both made ‘Propeller Display’ project during our under-graduation. Below is the photo of the project. Project uses Microchip PIC16F84A Microcontroller. Below is the brief specification for same. 18-Pin, 8-bit microcontroller Operating Speed –

PIC Based Oscilloscope Clock

PIC Based Oscilloscope Clock

For those are not into electronics, you must know that an oscilloscope has basically only one timebase to move the spot horizontally from left to right with the same intensity. The vertical deviation is function to the input voltage. You understand immediately that you can’t directly display 7 segment digits, because you can’t move the

PIC Programmer and Programming schematic

PIC Programmer and Programming

Programmer There are many PIC programmers you can purchase or whose schematics (and software) you can find freely over the Internet David Tait has a programmer with software and hardware schematics available here. If you read his documentation, you will find various programmer schematics. I use the Classic “Tait” Programmer. The schematic is below: I
