Through-hole development board for 18-pin PIC microcontrollers
Raj made an all through-hole development board for 8bit PIC microcontrollers. Feature list is quite impressive: An ICSP header to connect PIC16F1847 to PICkit3 On-board voltage regulator (+5 V) A...
View ArticleDigital surface level detector
Shawon made a surface level meter that indicates when the surface of an object is not level. He used an SCA610 single-axis accelerometer to take the measurements. A PIC16F684 microcontroller controls...
View ArticleBreakout board for 18pin PIC16F microcontrollers
Raj made a breakout board for 18pin PIC16F microcontrollers. There are two tact switches on the board: one for reset and other for user input. Similarly, there are two LEDs: one for power-on indicator...
View ArticleInterfacing a DHT11 humidity and temperature sensor
Raj show how to interface his PIC16F breakout board with the DHT11 humidity and temperature sensors. The DHT11 uses a proprietary single-wire protocol, not Maxim’s 1-Wire (which we consider EOL). This...
