LED Chaser using PIC Microcontroller

LED Chaser is a simple project for beginners that can build using PIC microcontroller. In this 8 LED are running like a Ring Counter. It is very simple and you can create different patterns as you like just by modifying the MikroC program. Here I am using PIC16F877A, one of the most popular PIC microcontroller. This tutorial is on the assumption that, you have basic knowledge in mikroC and Proteus. If you haven't please go to this tutorial. MikroC Code void main() { ...

Blinking LED using PIC Microcontroller – MikroC

Welcome to the world of PIC Microcontrollers. You are in the right place if you are a beginner in the filed of microcontrollers. MikroC is the best compiler for beginners as it contains built in functions for most of the commonly used tasks. But MikroC is less efficient and the hex file generated will be large size compared to other compilers. So I suggest you to use Hi-Tech C compiler by Microchip after you get familiar with microcontrollers. Note that,...

Optical Transistors Out of Silicon : Significant step towards Optical Computing

We all know that electrons are good at processing information, but they are incapable of carrying information over long distances. On the other hand, Photons can carry information all around the planet but their processing is hectic. So we use electrons for processing and photons for long distance data transmission. Thus we need significant amount of power to convert optical information to electronic and vice versa. Hence there is no wonder in the fact  that  researchers pay significant interest in developing an...

Electromagnetic Relay

A relay is an electromagnetic switch used to switch High Voltage or Current using low power circuits. For example, we can use it for controlling home appliances with a normal low voltage electronic circuit. Electromagnetic relays uses an electromagnet to operate a switching mechanism mechanically. It also provides isolation between low power circuit and high power circuits. Relay Internal Diagram The construction and working of a relay can be understood from the above diagram. The main part of a relay is the electromagnet. The electromagnet...

New Organic Transistor by X-ray Probe : Do Well in Hot Water

Recently, the scientists from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) along with an international research team delineated the possibility of a new class of sterilizable, flexible, organic electronic materials  for medical applications by proving the stability of a novel and rugged thin-film membrane at high temperatures. The work conducted using a low-energy X-ray beam line, at the National Synchrotron Light Source (NSLS) in Brookhaven, N.Y., was supported by an international team led by researchers from the University of Tokyo and included...

Inside a Crystal Oscillator…….!!

A crystal oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit which uses inverse piezoelectric effect, ie when electric field is applied across certain materials it produces mechanical deformation. Thus it uses mechanical resonance of a vibrating crystal of piezoelectric materiel to create an electric signal with very precise frequency. They have high stability, quality factor, small size and low cost and this makes them superior over other resonators like LC circuit, ceramic resonator, turning forks etc. This image show a 8MHz crystal oscillator commonly used in microcontrollers and microprocessors. Although the...
