Microchip released new application note “IrDA® Standard Stack for Microchip 16-Bit Microcontrollers”. Many members of Microchip’s families of 16-bit microcontrollers provide native IrDA standard support via their UART modules. This greatly simplifies the hardware design, which basically means that the microcontroller requires only Infrared Transmitter/Receiver. The app note gives an overview of three IrDA protocols: [...]

Microchip published new application note AN1094 “Bootloader for dsPIC30F/33F and PIC24F/24H Devices”. The bootloader for dsPIC30F/33F and PIC24H/24F devices is used to load and run an application on the target device. The bootloader consists of two applications: Target side bootloader application which must be programmed into dsPIC30F/33F or PIC24F/24H program memory prior to bootloader operation. Host [...]

This example demonstrates how to play a simple melody using the PIC microcontroller and piezo buzzer. The circuit was assembled on the solderless breadboard and tested on the PIC-01 Development Board. For programming, the CCS C was employed.Buzzer’s input is simply connected to the D0 pin of the microcontroller. Drawing 1. (large view) Because buzzers have a [...]

This example shows how to realize the Real Time Clock (RTC) using the PCF8583 and PIC16F877A. The ciruit was assembled using solderless breadboard of the PIC-01 Development Board by Loginway. The chip was programmed using the CCS C compiler. The project uses typical PCF8583 application. Because on the PIC-01 Development Board there is already an [...]

1. Introduction. It is an example of an RC5 receiver and decoder. It shows popular Philips RC5 coding. It was tested using simple hardware assembled on the PIC-01 Development Board connected to a PC through an RS232. All of the routines were written in C using the CCS compiler. 2. A little bit of theory. [...]

1. Introduction. This is an example how to use integrated Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) of the PIC16F877A. The code was written in the CCS C and tested on the PIC-01 Development Board. 2. The ADC. The PIC16F877A microcontroller has a 10-bit 8-channel integrated Analog to Digital Converter. In the analog to digital conversion the [...]
