LCD interfacing with PIC Microcontroller – MikroC

Ligo George — Wed, 09 May 2012 17:54:33 +0000

A PIC Microcontroller can be easily made to communicate with LCD by using the built in Libraries of MikroC. Interfacing between PIC and LCD can be 4-bit or 8-bit. The difference between 4-bit and 8-bit is how data are send to the LCD. In the 8-bit mode to write an 8-bit character to the LCD module, ASCII data […]

Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) in PIC Microcontroller

Ligo George — Mon, 14 May 2012 06:40:18 +0000

ADC module of PIC microcontroller have usually 5 input for 28 pin devices and 8 inputs for 40 pin devices. The conversion of analog signal to PIC ADC module results in corresponding 10 bit digital number. PIC ADC module has software selectable high and low voltage reference input to some combination of VDD, VSS, RA2 and RA3. […]

Multiplexing of Seven Segment Displays with PIC Microcontroller

Ligo George — Wed, 23 May 2012 02:20:52 +0000

When a Seven Segment Display is interface with PIC Microcontroller it needs minimum 7 pins to display a value. But real time applications like Digital Clock, Calculator, Digital Watch requires 3-6 seven segment displays. Lets assume that we need 6 digit display, ie we need 7 segment * 6 Display = 42 pins. Thus we actually […]

Interfacing Real Time Clock (RTC) DS1307 with PIC Microcontroller

Ligo George — Thu, 24 May 2012 03:02:30 +0000

DS1307 is a low power serial real time clock with full binary coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM (Non Volatile Static Random Access Memory). Data and Address are transferred serially through a bidirectional I2C bus. The RTC provides year, month, date, hour, minute and second information. The end date of months is automatically adjusted […]

Interfacing DC Motor with PIC Microcontroller using L293D

Ligo George — Tue, 05 Jun 2012 06:46:29 +0000

This tutorial explains ” How to interface DC Motor with PIC Microcontroller ? “. DC Motor and L293D We can’t drive a DC Motor (depends) directly with a Microcontroller, as DC Motors requires high current and high voltage than a Microcontroller can handle. Microcontrollers usually operates at +5 or +3.3V supply and it I/O pin […]
