PIC12F675 -Funny Police Light- LED project for Beginners (MikroC PRO)

5 April, 2012 (16:43) | Electronics, PIC microcontroller | By: xenon ark

This is a funny project for beginners. The tutorial will show how to control two I/O of PIC12F675. There is no external xtal included in the schematic. We use internal RC. To set internal RC in MikroC PRO IDE goto Project>Edit Project>Oscillator>Internal RC No Clock

here is the schematic:

Serial Character LCD with AVR

19 April, 2011 (03:58) | AVR Microcontroller, Electronics | By: xenon ark

There are several character LCD available in market 16×2, 16×4, 20×2 etc. these are very useful and pretty cheap also. This is a small program to demonstrate how interfacing LCD with AVR. I have used Atmega8 to run the program.

This is the schematic:
