A Digital temperature meter using an LM35 temperature sensor using PIC16F688

Leave a Comment / Using Pic Microcontroller / By

Introduction A digital thermometer is a good choice of project for beginners who just stepped in to the world of microcontrollers because it provides an opportunity to learn using sensors to measure the real world signals that are analog in nature. This article describes a similar project based on a PIC16F688 microcontroller and an LM35 …

Heat Control System using pic-microcontroller

Leave a Comment / Using Pic Microcontroller / By

Introduction This project was the first stage of developing a controller for a radiant floor heat system. The microcontroller will use inputs from thermostats, thermocouples, a flow meter, and pressure switches to control the operation of the pumps and valves to achieve improved efficiency of the system as a whole. This project idea came from …

Analog to Digital Converter

Analog to Digital Converter Using PIC16f877A Microcontroller – Beginners Guide using pic microcontoller

Leave a Comment / Using Pic Microcontroller / By

What is meant by Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)? An ADC converts analog signal to it’s corresponding digital signal. How to convert analog signal to digital signal? CircuitsGallery.com has already posted ADC using LM324 IC, in that ADC tutorial I had already explained Analog to Digital Converter how it works. While dealing with Microcontrollers we may face many situations where we …

Read analog values without an ADC using PIC12F675 microcontroller

Leave a Comment / Using Pic Microcontroller / By

Digital electronics and Analog electronics doesn’t mix easily. A Microcontroller can’t get analog values unless an Analog-to-Digital converter is used, however, you may find a little complicated the use of an ADC and it need lots of Input/Output ports.   Some Microcontrollers, like the small 8-pin Microchip PIC 12F675, do have an ADC integrated, but …

Introducing Easy Pulse: A DIY photoplethysmographic sensor for measuring heart rate using pic

Leave a Comment / Using Pic Microcontroller / By

When I first built the Heart rate measurement through fingertip project, the infrared LED and photodiode used for finger photoplethysmography were actually from salvaged parts, and therefore, I could not provide specifications for them in the article. As a result of that it takes quite a bit of time to replicate that project with a different set …

MOTION SENSOR USING PIR SENSOR MODULE WITH PIC MICROCONTROLLER AND WITHOUT MICROCONTROLLER

Leave a Comment / Using Pic Microcontroller / By

The circuit diagram is quite simple. I have powered my circuit with 4 AA batteries that gives 6 V supply. A diode is used in series to drop the voltage down to 5.4 V as the operating voltage for the PIC microcontroller should be below 5.5 V. Besides, the diode also provides the protection to …
