Digital Barometer using PIC Microcontroller and MPX4115A Pressure Sensor – XC8

Leave a Comment / Using Pic Microcontroller / By

The Motorola MPX4115A is an atmospheric pressure sensor powered by 5V and delivers and output from ~0.25V to ~4.75V based on the pressure detected at room temperature (25°C). The device provides a linear output based on pressure. As the pressure rises, the output voltage of the sensor rises as well with ~0.25V represents <15 kPa …

The are many cool sensors available now a days, ranging from IR distance sensor modules, accelerometers, humidity sensors, temperature sensors and many many more(gas sensors, alcohol sensor, motion sensors, touch screens). Many of these are analog in nature. That means they give a voltage output that varies directly (and linearly) with the sensed quantity. For example in LM35 …

Interfacing Temperature Sensor with Microchip PIC16F876A

Leave a Comment / Using Pic Microcontroller / By

The tutorial aims at providing the necessary information for interfacing an analog type temperature sensor with a Microchip PIC Microcontroller. PIC (Peripheral Interface Controllers) was introduced in 1985. The PIC16F876A has 8K of Flash Program Memory, 368 bytes of Data Memory (RAM) and many other attractive features. Some features are ADC, USART, and 14 Interrupts …

How to work with inbuilt ADC Module of PIC18F4550

Leave a Comment / Using Pic Microcontroller / By

A microcontroller, a digital device, can read, execute and transmit only digital signals. On the contrary, the outputs of the most of the transducers are analog in nature. Thus it is hard to interface these transducers directly with controllers. Analog-to-digital convertor (ADC) ICs are one way to make the analog input compatible with the microcontroller. Using …

Electrical Subsystem Schematics Using Pic

Leave a Comment / Using Pic Microcontroller / By

The goal of the electrical design was to streamline an automatic shift control while keeping manual user input in a fast, user-friendly way. The electrical design was driven by the complexity required by the mechanical system. The system takes in rider input in the form of a throttle position sensor, shift pushbuttons, and mode selector. …
