In this post a basic character generator design based on PIC16F88 will be demonstrated. 7x5 Dot Matrix Display was used and its pin out is shown in the schematic below. Instead of using PIC16F876/7 microcontrollers PIC16F88 was chosen for this purpose ...

In this post I'll show a simple running LED circuit. Currently only 2 patterns are available but additional effects can be easily added by slightly modifying the code. This design uses only 16 LED's however PIC16F877 has 5 I/O ports ...

Have you ever wondered how to generate a sine wave using PIC microcontroller. In this post I’ll show you a simple circuit design that can generate arbitrary wave forms including sine by using MCU and PCF8591 D/A converter. For similar design ...

Light emitting diode (LED) Controller was built using PIC microcontroller and LM317 regulator. Comparing to traditional light sources led illumination should provide more efficient lighting also giving you a possibility to choose desired wavelength. 48 white diffused LEDs connected in parallel ...

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 ...

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, ...

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 ...

Here is another modification of a digital voltmeter. This time with 7 – Segment LED Display. These circuits seems to be more popular than other designs so I’ve decided to  publish another variant. You can find 4 variations of digital voltmeter on ...

In this post I'm going to show you how to build a simple Digital Lock using PIC microcontroller. Instead of building a new hardware design from scratch we are going to use PIC Development Board as a basis for Digital ...

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 ...
