An eight-pin micro multiplies, monitors, and delivers a boosted voltage to a load The circuit in this Design Idea uses a Microchip PIC12F510 controller to drive a voltage multiplier ladder and a single pin to output status and to input a trigger ...
.. The program for the microcontroller. This is in the form of a HEX file and must be loaded into the microcontroller using a PIC programmer (not required for the Altronics kit which comes with a pre programmed microcontroller chip). The source ...
The Intelligent Fan Controller is designed to control the noise generated by the fans inside your computer. It does this by varying their speed based on temperatures measured inside the case. When it is cool the fans will run slowly and they will ...
.. describes an easy and inexpensive way of adding a digital thermometer and data logging feature to a PC. It involves a PIC microcontroller that gets the surrounding temperature information from the Microchip MCP9701 sensor, and sends it ...
.. 1 - Theory Part 2 - Schematic, Firmware for the PIC microcontroller to initialize the GLCD In the first part of this tutorial, we discussed about Winstar’s ...
.. GLCD to microcontroller Software We will be writing our test program in C using MikroElektronika’s mikroC Pro for PIC compiler. Although, the compiler does provide built-in library routines for GLCD operations, we will first try to ...
.. based character LCDs. Today we will see how to interface a KS0108 (name of the display controller chip) based GLCD to a PIC microcontroller. Since GLCDs are real resource hungry devices (in terms of required I/O pins and memory), a bigger ...
On my desktop PC I have a speakers and a headphones. Usually I use headphones, but when I need to switch to speakers I need to physically plug in speakers instead of headphones to my PC’s soundcard. I wanted to solve this problem for a long ...
Dev Gualtieri When designing with low pin-count microcontrollers, you sometimes need just one or two more digital input pins than you have available. Fortunately, many digital inputs on such microcontrollers also double as low-resolution analog ...
.. 100 nF is enough. The schematic with the cited improvements: NOTES The microcontroller used for this project is the PIC 12F683. However, any other PIC 12F (or even 16F) microcontroller is suitable for the emulator. The firmware should ...
