Last week we took a look at how you can wirelessly connect together two unrealted microcontrollers; an Arduino UNO and a PIC. The week before that we showed you how to build Motor Control via Distance Sensing. This week, let’s combine the two project together to make a wireless IR proximity sensor that can control a motor’s …
Searching for a reliable wireless solution for your project can be a real pain if you’re not familiar with current wireless standards, data rates and reliability. The Xbee Modules that we will use in this article are widely available, use a very reliable wireless transmission protocol and have sufficient datarates for most hobby projects. This article will …
Here is a simple example for PIC microcontroller interfacing Unipolar stepping motor with assembly code. Instead of using a dedicated stepper motor driver IC like very popular L293D PIC16F with ULN2003A were used. Just 4 I/O Pins are required to drive each coil of the motor. By energizing each coil in a particular sequence you can control the speed and direction of the motor. …
Hello friends here is a proteus simulation of speed control of DC motor with the help of Pulse width modulation (PWM) control, PWM signals are generated by 8051 microcontroller. As we have discussed earlier that proteus is a really good simulation software for beginners and 8051 is the most basic among all microcontroller so this can be a …

This is a simple PIC microcontroller based Solar Tracking system, only basic electronics skills are required. It uses 2 unipolar stepper motors and 4 IR-850nm LEDs as sensors to follow the sun maximizing solar panel illumination. The entire prototype frame was built from simple, cheap and widely available strip board. Just cut it to a required size, widen the holes …
In our first program , we will simply sweep the servomotor from CCW to CW and then sweep back. The program will be kept simple as to demonstrate the priniciples of controlling a servo with a the PIC Basic language. The schematic can be seen in figure 2 (below). The variable pw controls the pulsewidth, …
Rotary encoders are very versatile input devices for microcontroller projects. They are like potentiometers expect of digital nature and unlike analogue potentiometers they never wear down. Rotary encoders not only provide 360 degrees of rotational freedom they also allow digital positioning information to be gained without the use of analogue to digital converters (ADCs). When …
Using a modified version of the last program, we can control as many servomotors as we have I/O lines on port B. In the next listing, we will control two servos in the same manner as we controlled a single servo in the previous program. The circuit is shown in figure 4 (below). The program …
