PIC12F675 Tutorial 7: A Servo controller driving a standard servo motor using serial port command

This servo controller generates a signals to control a standard servo motor (I used a Futaba servo but you can use any servo) using the 12F675 microcontroller.  You can type a text command into a serial terminal e.g Hyperterminal to set the position of the servo. The project software works slightly differently to the previous one …

Data Logging Anemometer.

A Self-Contained Data Logging Anemometer Using Pic

I love collecting and analyzing data.  I also love building electronic gadgets.  A year ago when I discovered the Arduino products, I immediately thought, “I’d like to collect environmental data.”  It was a windy day in Portland, OR, so I decided to capture wind data.  I looked at some of the instructables for anemometers and …
