One lesson I’ve gleaned from parenthood is the formidable challenge of imparting knowledge to a child. Despite their keen interest and ample time and resources at hand, if a child isn’t prepared or lacks essential foundational elements, grasping a skill or lesson can prove elusive. Fortunately, programming a PIC microcontroller unit (MCU) presents a significantly […]

Description This project shows how to use a SD-Card with FAT16 file system. It is based on the example MMC/SD-Card driver (mmcsd.c) and FAT file system driver (fat.c) delivered with the CCS C compiler. Unfortunately, the example didn’t work properly for me. So I searched the web and found some required changes to make it

This topic shows a simple interfacing of 2 GB micro SD card with PIC16F84A microcontroller. I used the PIC16F84A to read the SD card raw data which doesn’t require a microcontroller with high RAM or ROM. In this interfacing I used software SPI because the PIC16F84A doesn’t have a built-in hardware SPI module. In this

This example shows how to display Bitmap (BMP) image files from SD card on ST7735 1.8″ (128×160) TFT screen using PIC18F4550 microcontroller and CCS PIC C compiler. To build this project we need the ST7735 TFT driver, SD card driver and FAT16 library. The three source files must be added to the project folder (or

With the tiny microcontroller PIC12F1822 we can read raw data (sectors) stored in the SD card. The SD card can work in SPI mode which makes our interfacing more better since the PIC12F1822 MCU has a built-in SPI module (MSSP module). This post shows how to interface the SD card with the PIC12F1822 microcontroller in

We always try to know the physical and electrical data like temperature, pressure, current, ac voltage etc. In this project, I’m going to display these data in the real time as well as I’ill record it to a memory card(SD/microSD/MMC card). Here the project can display four different things; ac voltage, environment temperature, relative humidity
