Project 8 - A PIC ultrasonic range finding

  • The PIC sonar range finder works by transmitting a short pulse of sound at a frequency inaudible to the ear.
  • This frequency can be classified as ultrasonic sound or ultrasound.
  • Afterwards the microcontroller listens for an echo.

Project 7 - A PIC Serial LCD project

  • This project shows you how to create a serial LCD module that you can drive from any serial RS232 interface.
  • It uses a pure ASCII command set so you can control it easily from a terminal program such as Hyperterminal.
  • There are no odd command sequences such as 0xef to define a command.
  • You can type all commands at the terminal interface making it very easy to use.
  • It's also easy to test it out manually before driving it with a program.
  • Once you have decided what you want to do a microcontroller can generate the same commands or you can send them from a PC program.

Tutorial 7 - PIC 12F675 Microcontroller Tutorial

  • A tutorial which shows you how to program and use it with a series of projects.
  • To use the tutorial files you need to have a PIC programmer with an ICSP output connector and the components shown in each tutorial.
  • The 12F675 microcontroller is packaged in an 8 pin chip.

Tutorial 6 - Using the PIC with Programmable Logic

  • They combined a PIC16F873 and a Xilinx XC9572 CPLD.
  • If you are just starting with programmable logic, you should check out this tutorials first.
  • Although you can implement a variety of interfaces between the CPLD and the PIC, it is important to keep it simple especially for beginners.

Tutorial 5 - Introduction to 16F84 PIC

  • These pages will take you form the basic structure of the device, right through to programming methods and techniques.
  • Also, there will be suggestions on how to modify the code so that you can adapt the PIC to suit your applications within Cybot.
  • They will not be including any internal architecture diagrams, as this may only lead to confusion.
  • Theyare going to concentrate on the 16F84 PIC.
  • Once you have learn how to program one type of PIC, learning the rest is easy.
  • This tutorial will concentrated on Assembly Language.

Tutorial 4 - Trivial LVP programmer

  • This is a trivial Tait style programmer that does low voltage programming (LVP).
  • With a single IC and a single resistor, this is one of the most simple programmers that you'll find.
  • It also have have a schematic for a ICSP version of TLVP that can be used to program a 16F62X/16F81X/16F88 part when MCLR is programmed as an input and the oscillator is INTRC.

Tutorial 3 - The Basics of Programming and Using a PIC Microcontroller

  • The purpose of this guide is to help those who are using PIC microcontrollers at home.
  • The first part of this guide will help select a PIC programmer by comparing the current options versus cost and functionality.
  • The second part of this guide will demonstrate the use of one of the programmers mentioned in part I.
  • The third and final part will explain the setup and use of various supporting hardware necessary to use the PIC microcontroller.
  • What programmer you will buy depends largely on how much you want to spend and how much technical support you will need.

Tutorial 2 - PIC Tutorial

  • These webpages will take you form the basic structure of the device right through to programming methods and techniques.
  • Work on Cybot mobile robot.
  • Also there will be suggestions on how to modify the code so that you can adapt the PIC to suit your applications within Cybot.
  • They will not be including any internal architecture diagrams, as this may only lead to confusion.
  • This tutorial will concentrate on the 16F84 PIC.
  • Once you have learnt how to program one type of PIC, learning the rest is easy.
  • There are several ways of programming the PIC - using BASIC, C, or Assembly Language.
  • This site will use the Assembly Language.
  • There are only 35 instructions to learn, and it is the cheapest way to program the PICs, as you do not need any extra software other than the freebies.

Tutorial 1 - WinPicProg PIC Tutorial

  • Ongoing series of beginners PIC tutorials.
  • They will describe the construction of simple modular hardware and give examples of code to make use of it.
  • The device used in this tutorial is particularly easy to use as it's a FLASH based chip.
  • FLASH allows easy reprogramming and it requires hardly any support components.
  • This site also have link that suitable programmer.
  • This site use WinPicProg software in conjunction with the P16PRO40 hardware.
