In this post I’d like to share a design of PWM Fan controller based on PIC16F684 MCU. For Arduino version click here. Previously I’ve designed similar circuits some of them more complex than this one. I recommend you to look ...

A simple bargraph voltmeter can be built using 2x16 LCD or compatible VFD display. For Arduino version click here. This design utilizes PIC16F877 microcontroller and its ADC block to convert 0 – 5V input voltage to a binary number shown ...

In this post I’m going to show you how to interface an I2C Real Time Clock – RTC with PIC microcontroller. Only a basic hardware configuration and a communication protocol are presented here. I’m planning to extend it to a ...

This article shows how to create a fading/dimming effect of the LED using PIC micro-controller. For similar design based on Arduino click this link.Controlling LED brightness using PWM is a relatively simple task and can be accomplished by configuring PIC16F877 ...

In this article I’ll show you how you can use PIC microcontroller to record and store waveform patterns in its EEPROM memory and replay the sequence later. For this purpose we’ll need a signal/waveform generator to produce the signal, PIC ...

This article shows a basic interface between PIC16F microcontroller and a unipolar stepping motor using an assembly code. For programming the MCU you'll need PICKIT2 or PICKIT3 device. Similar design for Arduino platform can be  found at this link. Instead ...

A few weeks ago I’ve uploaded post with relatively simple assembly code example for interfacing 2x16 LCD display with PIC16F microcontrollers. Driving Graphic LCD display is more complex task  as it lacks the build in character generation unit so each pixel needs to ...

Vacuum fluorescent display can be a good alternative to a Liquid-crystal displays in some applications. They have a number of advantages over LCD like extended temperature range and excellent contrast in high brightness environment. The main disadvantage is higher power consumption ...

This post is about designing a simple PIC microcontroller based Solar Tracking system. It requires some basic electronics skills and good motor coordination. This design uses 2 unipolar stepper motors and 4 IR-850nm LEDs as sensors to follow the sun  ...

In this post I'll show you how two QDSP-L149 5x7 dot matrix  LED Displays can be used to create a  4 Digit display module. The trick is to change  the roles of rows and columns. So now each 5x7 Dot ...
