DS18S20 interfacing with pic and avr microcontroller

Microcontroller BoardsRead the temperature in PIC16F/18F Primer Board from temperature sensor ds1820. The PIC16F/18F Primer board uses the ADC pin for reading temperature from temperature sensor ds1820. The reading output is displayed into PC through UART. PIC16F/18F Development Board The PIC16F/18F Development Board is specifically designed to help students to master the required skills in the area […]

USB curve tracer for NPN transistors

USB curve tracer for NPN transistors

Curve tracer is an electronic test instrument to analyze the characteristics of transistors and other discrete semiconductors. In this post we construct USB base curve tracer to analyze properties of NPN transistors. This curve tracer is build around Microchip’s PIC18F4550 MCU and it use simple Windows based GUI application to plot captured data of a

USB PIC Programmer

USB PIC Programmer

This page is dedicated to everybody needs to program a PIC (Microchip) device via USB port. Looking on the web for ready-to-use  projects, I found a good one called Open Programmer, coming with several schematics, PCBs and Open Source code. The original link is http://openprog.altervista.org/OP_ita.html What concerned me was the need to mount, on the mainboard, a
