As promised, this part starts with a simple programming tutorial on the PIC12F675 microcontroller which shows you how to program and use it as a simple LED flasher. It’s assumed that you have ...

In life and embedded systems timing is everything. Give [Frank’s] web-based timer calculator a try. Set your system clock resolution (in hertz making sure you account for any system clock divider), ...

Creating a better kitchen timer is the goal of this project which uses easily available parts or from a microcontroller start kit which uses PIC16F877. Currently, a single 7-segment LED display and a ...

We could all use a new hobby in 2021, especially after tiring of our old ones over the past year. If you're hoping to expand your interests and happen to have some free time on your hands at home due ...

Most digital timers require a set of dip switches or rotary BCD encoders to preset their interval. But those techniques consume eight or more inputs from a microcontroller's (MCU's) I/O lines. To ...
