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 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 ...

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, ...

Solar power mobile charger can be built by tweaking digital power supply schematic. The Software/Hardware stayed almost the same as the original circuit.Current design has the same overcurrent protection and output voltage can be changed by pressing SW1. Voltage and Current ...

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 ...

Due to popular demand I've modified digital clock design to work with LCD display instead of 7-Segment LED as described in this post. For Arduino version click here. All the capabilities of LED version have been maintained in current project. 1 ...

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 a Basic PIC Frequency Counter design. For Arduino version click here. It doesn't not attempt to compete with some advance designs and has a very limited frequency range, however it can be used as a starting point to ...

In this post I’ll show how to build a basic kinetic watch winder using PIC microcontroller and stepper motor. Kinetic watches do not require changing the battery as frequently as in quartz watch however despite their many advantages they have ...

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 ...
