Microcontrollers are the workhorses of the embedded systems world, controlling everything from simple appliances to complex robots. When choosing a microcontroller for your project, you’ll encounter several popular families, each with its strengths and weaknesses. This article compares PIC microcontrollers Read more
In the last 13 chapters, we have learned the most basic things we need to learn to start with a PIC microcontroller. This is a summary of all chapters. Now we’ll recall the previous chapters and what else we need Read more
One-wire communication, also known as 1-Wire, is a serial communication protocol that allows devices to communicate using only a single data line. To interface sensors or communicate between two systems this one wire is being used. In this chapter, we’ll Read more
Explore the fundamentals of I2C and SPI communication protocols, essential for interfacing sensors, modules, and displays, and facilitating MCU-to-MCU communication. Master these crucial skills for seamless integration and efficient data transfer in embedded systems and electronics projects, so let’s start! Read more
In this chapter, we’ll explore the versatile world of USART communication using PIC, a vital link between devices like PCs and microcontrollers. UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) or USART facilitates seamless serial data exchange, supporting full-duplex transmission and reception asynchronously. Additionally, Read more
In this chapter, we’ll delve into the powerful realm of Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and explore how to leverage the CCP (Capture/Compare/PWM) module of the microcontroller. PWM, a digital technique, empowers us to finely control various parameters such as loads, Read more
In the previous chapter, we learned about the Timer interrupt and also learned how to use Timer0 as a timer interrupt. In this chapter, we’ll use Timer0 as a counter which is another feature of Timers in microcontrollers. This will Read more
Timers are very fundamental for microcontrollers and we frequently use these timers for different purposes. In this chapter, we’ll learn how Timer0 works and the way we can use it for different purposes. This is very fundamental, so sit with Read more
In this chapter, we’ll focus on Learning ADC of PIC microcontrollers. ADC or Analog to Digital Converter is one of the most fundamental features of a microcontroller. And whenever we work with microcontrollers, we need this feature almost all the Read more
In this chapter, we will learn How to interface buttons with microcontrollers. This is another basic part of the series of Learning PIC microcontrollers in C. You need to learn this to utilize the microcontroller. So let’s start. Previous chapter: Read more
