The PIC microcontroller from Microchip is one the famous and most used microcontrollers. Because of its reliability it is commonly preferred by embedded engineers for industrial applications. The below list of PIC Tutorials and PIC Projects helps you to learn PIC series of microcontrollers from very basic level to advanced applications. Most of these projects are built with 8-bit PIC16F877A microcontroller and will be programmed using the MPLABX IDE. All projects/tutorials are explained with neat circuit diagram, code and hardware demonstration.
Measuring the voltage and current will always be helpful while making or debugging any electrical system. In this project we are going to make our own Digital Ammeter using PIC16F877A Microcontroller and current sensor ACS712-5A. This project can measure both AC and DC current with a range of 0-30A with an accuracy of 0.3A. With few modifications on the code you can also use…
Measuring the speed/rpm of a Vehicle or a motor has always been a fascinating project for us to try. So, in this project we are going to build one using the Industrial ready PIC microcontrollers. We will use a piece of magnet and a Hall Sensor to measure the speed. There are other ways/sensors to measure the speed but, using a hall sensor is cheap and also can be used on any…
We often see voltage fluctuations in electricity supply at our home, which may cause malfunction in our home AC appliances. Today we are building a low cost High and Low Voltage Protection Circuit, which will cut off the power supply to the appliances in case of High or Low voltage. It will also show a alert message on 16x2 LCD. In this project, we have used PIC…
In this tutorial let us learn how to send E-mails from PIC Microcontroller using famous WiFi module the ESP8266. This tutorial uses PIC16F877A IC and MPLABX and XC8 compiler for programming.
At the end of this tutorial you will be able to send E-mail from any normal E-mail ID like Gmail, yahoo etc to any other E-mail ID. Hence this tutorial…
In this project, we are going to use a PIC microcontroller to remotely control few AC loads by just using an IR remote. A similar project IR remote controlled Home automation has already been done with Arduino also, but here we designed it on PCB using EasyEDA’s online PCB designer and simulator, and used their PCB designing services to order the PCB boards as shown in the…
In this article, let us discuss how to interface WIFI module ESP8266 with a PIC microcontroller. So far you might have been using the ESP8266 module as a standalone microcontroller or might have been using it with the Arduino library. But, when it comes to hardcore embedded system projects we should know how to use it with PIC microcontrollers as well. This will help…
In this tutorial we will learn How to make out PIC projects wireless by interfacing a Bluetooth Module (HC-06). In our previous tutorial we have already learnt How to use USART module in our PIC Microcontroller and established communication between PIC and Computer. If you are an absolute beginner then check here for our all the PIC Tutorials, where we have started from the…
In this tutorial we learn to Enable UART communication with PIC Microcontroller and how to transfer data to and from your Computer. So far, we have covered all basic modules like ADC, Timers, PWM and also have learnt how to interface LCDs and 7-Segment displays. Now, we will equip our self with a new communication tool called UART which widely used in most of the…
This is our 11th tutorial of Learning PIC microcontrollers using MPLAB and XC8. In this tutorial we will learn How to control Servo Motor with PIC Microcontroller. If you have already worked with Servo motors you can skip the first half of this tutorial but if you are new to servo motor itself then continue reading.
Till now, we have covered many…
This is our 10th tutorial of Learning PIC microcontrollers using MPLAB and XC8. Till now, we have covered many basic tutorials like LED blinking with PIC, Timers in PIC, interfacing LCD, interfacing 7-segment, ADC using PIC etc. If you are an absolute beginner, then please visit the complete list of PIC tutorials here and start…
This is our 9th tutorial of Learning PIC microcontrollers using MPLAB and XC8. Till now, we have covered many basic tutorial like getting started with MPLABX, LED blinking with PIC, Timers in PIC, interfacing LCD, interfacing 7-segment etc. If you are an absolute beginner, then please visit the complete list of PIC tutorials here and start learning.
