PIC Microcontroller Projects

Armstrong Subero · Maker Innovations Series · 2024

In this chapter, we explore the practical application of PIC microcontrollers through the development of two engaging projects. The initial project we tackle is a staple in the microcontroller realm—a temperature-controlled fan. This project not only serves as an excellent introduction to the fundamentals of microcontroller programming and circuit design but also provides a hands-on experience with sensors and actuators. The second project we undertake is more communication focused, where we demonstrate how to transmit data directly to a web browser using the serial port of the microcontroller. This project highlights the capabilities of microcontrollers in networked applications and offers a fascinating glimpse into the interface between hardware and web technology. Together, these projects will enhance your understanding of how microcontrollers can be applied in both environmental control and data communication scenarios.

PIC Microcontroller Universal Board

Rathod Raju Ambadas, R. P. Chaudhari · 2015

Abstract- A Microcontroller is a device which integrates a number of the components of a microprocessor system onto a single microchip and optimized to interact with the outside world through on-board interfaces; i.e. it is a little gadget that houses a microprocessor, ROM (Read Only Memory), RAM (Random Access Memory), I/O (Input Output functions), and various other specialized circuits all in one package. Microcontrollers are used in automatically controlled products and devices, such as automobile engine control systems, implantable medical devices, remote controls, office machines, appliances, power tools, toys and other embedded systems. By reducing the size and cost compared to a design that uses a separate microprocessor, memory, and input/output devices, microcontrollers make it economical to digitally control even more devices and processes. Mixed signal microcontrollers are common, integrating analog components needed to control non-digital electronic systems.

PIC® Microcontroller Projects

Armstrong Subero · Apress eBooks · 2017

In this chapter, we look at building two projects using the PIC® microcontroller. The first is a classic microcontroller project involving a temperature controlled fan. The second project shows how far microcontroller technology has progressed and what is now possible with 8-bit bare metal systems by building a simple touch screen clock, a project that a few years ago would have required a 32-bit microcontroller.

PIC Microcontroller WP-RF-PICZee Summary PIC Microcontroller with 2,4GHz IEEE 802.15.4 transceiver

Solution For Oems · 2008

MAC layers with Microchip Technology’s NWK / APL / ZDO layers. It provides a path for extremely rapid migration from Microchip’s PICDEM Z ZigBee development environment to market-ready product. PICZee is capable of full function device (FFD) operation and is suitable for router and coordinator nodes. The lower cost PICZee Lite version is used for reduced function devices, e.g. endpoints, with 2 fewer I/O lines and being 3mm more compact. • FCC / CE compliance planned

DVD cabinet with PIC microcontroller

Rok Horjak · 2010

We are often bothered by solvable problems. Luckily we live in a time, when technology, that can be used to solve these problems, is readily available. These solutions can be purchased, or in case of them not being widely available or too expensive, solved and made by ourselves. I chose to do the latter, when I faced a problem of large quantities of DVDs, without an appropriate system for a fast and efficient way to search for them. I decided to make a cabinet, that would give us the correct DVD, according to the number received via a matrix keypad while using a stepper and a DC motor for the delivery. I described each of the key components, because without the proper knowledge and understanding of mentioned components, one cannot understand the system as a whole. At first I described microcontrollers in general and then the PIC16F84 microcontroller, which I used in the development of this cabinet, in more detail. I used two microcontrollers for greater reliability and to demonstrate a simple and effective data transfer between two microcontrollers with a simple protocol. Following that I described the operation of a stepper motor, which I used to move the mechanism for finding DVDs, the operation of a DC motor, for handing over the DVD and the operation of a matrix keypad to enter the number for the desired DVD. I also described the program MPLAB, which I used to write a program to control the devices in the cabinet. In addition the specific tasks of both microcontrollers and software solutions to various tasks were also described.

Plate dispenser using microcontroller (PIC)

Ariffin, Ahmad Fathul 'Alim · UiTM Institutional Repositories (Universiti Teknologi MARA) · 2005

This project implements the vending machine concept in plate dispensing for self service food outlets, such as food court or large canteen. This is to ensure that customer return the used plate at the right plate stations, instead of leaving it on the table. The system releases a plate when a proper and valid coin is inserted into the coin acceptor. Once the plate returned into the dirty plate receptor the coin will be returned to the customers. The implementation of the system is using microcontroller as it is easy to designed and modify, cheap, and robust.

Programming and customizing the PIC microcontroller /

Predko, Michael 165015 author

This volume contains more than 600 illustrations, and provides comprehensive, easy-to-understand coverage of the PIC microcontroller's hardware and software schemes. By providing roughly 100 experiments, projects, and libraries, readers will get a grasp of PICs, how they work, and the ins-and-outs of their most dynamic applications. The author has concentrated on the three major PIC families, to help to fully understand the synergy between the Assembly, BASIC, and C programming languages. He has also included information on setting up a PIC microcontroller development lab; PIC MCU basics; PIC microcontroller interfacing capabilities, software development, and applications; basic and digital electronics, and useful circuits and routines that will get applications up and running quickly.
