My favourite microcontroler for now is PIC16F887. I will soon try to build some projects using the 18F series, but for now my Nixi clock and planned LED cube I will use th e16F887. No, I didn’t gave up, I plan to start work on the nixie projects ASAP. Program Memory Type Flash Program...

I’ve got Nixie’s
Thanks to a local electronics forum I managed to get my hands on some Nixie tubes. Two sets to be exact. One set came complete with the original driver circuit board which has some very interesting Russian made Nixie drivers similar to the venerable 74141 and 7441. I think they are pretty rare too....
Open source ADC read function
Yes, I know, mikroC has it’s own ADC library, but as always I am a sucker for open source. So I decided to write my own adc read function, so I can better understand the PIC ADC converter operation. And, in the good spirit of open source I decided to share my code. The...
A free book about PIC Microcontrollers
As you might have noticed from my posts I am always in for a free lunch. So, this would be free lunch for your brain. Even if you don’t use or plan to use Mikroelektronika products you might want to know that they have a free book about PIC microcontrolers on their website: here....
Temperature graph on GLCD with EasyPic5
This is a small project I did for school. I am using the easypic 5 board from mikroelectronica to display a linegraph of the temperature read every second by the DS1820 sensor and displays it on the KS0108 based GLCD. I am using the OneWire and GLCD libraries that come with the mikroC compiler....
4×20 LCD screen with USB interface.
Attaching an LCD screen to a pc is a pretty easy job. I am working on a jukebox that I wanted to a screen attached to. Although a HD44780 based LCD can be attached to the parallel port with almost no additional parts I wanted a more flexible solution, and I thought about microcontrollers...
