Blinking LED with PIC16F684
This very simple design shows how to make a blinking LED using PIC16F684 MCU. In my previous post I’ve used PIC16F877/86 however most of basic circuits do not require a lot of I/O pins and PIC16F684 small 14 pin package is more ...
LM75A Digital Temperature Sensor Arduino
LM75A is a digital temperature sensor with built in analog to digital converter and I2C interface .It can provide an accurate temperature reading from -55 to +125 C. For similar design based on analog LM35 sensor click here. Also a ...
Running LED with PIC16F877A
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 ...
Arduino with 74HC595 and 7-Segment
74HC595 is a discrete shift register IC that can be easily integrated with Arduino platform. Usually shift registers are used to convert a serial data to a parallel output. Additional shift registers can be connected in series extending the number ...
AD9850 PIC16F Interface
A simple wave generator should be a part of every electronics enthusiast toolset. Basic Sine/Square output in reasonable frequency range will be sufficient for general use. Luckily such generators are available in form of a very popular AD9850 module. Search ...
PIC16F Development Board
In this post I'll show a more general approach for circuits prototyping. Instead of building each individual design to validate its operation why not to design a basic PIC16F877A based Development Board. Current design have all the necessary features of ...
Digital Lock
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 ...
4-Digit LED Dot Matrix Clock Arduino
Here is another digital clock design based on Arduino platform. This time it uses 4-Digit LED Dot Matrix module to show the time. Similar design with LCD display is available here. The Dot Matrix module consists of four MAX7219 chips ...
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 ...
PWM Fan Controller
Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is very common technique for controlling cooling fan speed in Desktop PC. In this project PIC16F877A based Pulse Width Modulation controller was built and tested with 2 fans. 80 mm Coolink SWiF2-80P PWM Fan and Arctic Cooling ...
