128×64 LCD Display

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 ...
Wireless UART Featured Image

Infrared UART

Wireless Infrared UART prototype can be built by using two PIC16F876A controllers. One as IR receiver with dedicated Infrared decoder like SFH505A, SFH506 or similar IR receiver IC and other microcontroller as a transmitter via IR LEDs. This is relatively simple ...

PIC C Programming

In this article I’ll show you how to program Microchip PIC microcontrollers using HI-TECH PICC compiler and basic PIC development board. The board consists of PIC16F876A, LED bar graph and 20MHz oscillator. PICKIT3 compatible programmer was used to download the ...
Digital Power Supply Prototype Board

Power Supply 2.5 – 12 V

Power Supply is probably the most common electronics project you can build.This is a basic design for digital power supply. It was built around 3 main components. Digital potentiometer – MCP4251-502E/P, Low  Dropout Voltage Regulator – MIC29152 and PIC16F877A.The idea ...

3 Digit Up Down Counter PIC16F877A

3 Digit Up Down Counter shown here is based on PIC16F877A microcontroller. The count is shown on the 2x16 LCD display and the direction is controlled by a switch connected to bit 3 of PORTA. With minimal changes the attached ...
10 Bit 7-Segment Digital Voltmeter Featured Image

10Bit 7-Segment Digital Voltmeter 0-24V

This is an upgrade to recently published Simple Digital Voltmeter.Few improvements were done to hardware and software.DVM operating range  was slightly increased up to 24 V Max, however the most significant change is that the code now uses full 10 bit of ...
