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 ...

Here is another version of Arduino based voltmeter. This time it uses 4-digit 7-Segment LED display and MAX7219 Display Driver. For similar design with 2x16 LCD display click this link. Also you can look at PIC16F876 implementation in my previous ...

Interfacing LCD Display with serial Interface like I2C can save microcontroller I/O making it a practical alternative to a standard parallel 8 bit interface. We’ll use PCF8574 I2C port expander and PIC16F876A microcontroller to establish IIC communication by 2 lines, ...

Using HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor with Raspberry Pi is a relatively easy task. HC-SR04 is a very popular module that can provide the distance to the object by sending ultrasonic bursts at 40kHz and measuring the time it takes for the ...

3 Digit Dot Matrix Display with SPI interface is an advanced version of recently published 7x5 Dot Matrix Character Generator project. This design is more complex as it contains 4 microcontrollers. Three PIC16F88 were used to control 7x5 Dot Matrix Displays, ...

MAX7219 is a common cathode display driver with a simple serial interfaces that can be easily connected to a microcontroller. Among other useful features this IC has built in brightness control and scan control capability that allows to limit the ...

Digital Alarm Clock based on Arduino MEGA board and 2x16 LCD display is the topic of this post. Similar design based on Raspberry Pi can be found at this link. For PIC16F877 version click here. This design should also work ...

MAX7219 is a serial input/output common-cathode display driver. It can interface the microcontroller to 7-segment numeric LED displays, bar-graph displays, dot matrix display or  individual LEDs. This IC has some very useful features like built in decoder, multiplex scan circuitry, ...

This is a modified version of basic wave generator design with AD9850 and Microchip PIC16F microcontroller. A relatively simple assembly code available for download at the bottom of the page. Instead of using a rotary encoder as many other similar available ...

In this post we’ll add a serial data transfer capability to a standard 7-Segment LED Display by using PCF8574 I/O Port expander IC with I2C interface.For similar design based on Arduino see this link. Usually in order to minimize required ...
