For the other components you should have most of the stuff lying around if you have doneany type of electronics except for the programmer, RS232 chip and PIC. For getting information out of the project and into the PC a USB to RS232 is needed and this can also be bought on ebay. The first thing you need to do is down load the compiler : Click Here

. Download theexecutable to your computer, double click it and follow the instructions. R1stops the part entering the wrong programming mode (LVP mode). LVP mode is the default mode (Low Volt Programming) and is always enabled for new parts but it makes the pin unusable for anything else. Since there are not many pins in this particular part the first task is to disable LVP mode. You can do this by programming the part with the first program which has turned off the LVP fuse and at the same time it flashes the LED so once the part is programmed you can see that it`s working. Note: Later diagrams may not show R1 as it is only important when 1st programming the part (if you ensure that the LVP control is always set to off in the compiler project edit control panel - see videos for more information on that). Once LVP isprogrammed off then the PGM pin becomes a `normal` pin i. e. you can treat it as normal I/O and use it just like any other programmable I/O pin. Note:I use 7zip - just do a google search for `7zip` if you don`t have an unzip program which is free and integrates into the windows shell - meaning you can right click in explorer and directly zip/unzip files. Unzip the file `prog00-16F88-intro. zip` in the pic-c-course directory. It will create a directory c:pic-c-courseprog00-16F88-intro in which will be a hex file. For this C programming tutorial you should have installed ICPROG so start that program up now. Setup...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
