DC Motor Controlling System
Now a days DC motors plays a vital role in most of the industrial areas, it can be seen in most of the electronic devices. Many methods evolved to control the revolution of a motor. DC motors can be controlled either by software or directly by hardware. Software controlling needs computers which are bulky and common man cannot afford for it, so hardware controls are in use. Even in hardware if it is programmable device then it is preferred because it can be modeled according to the requirements of the user.
How does the Microchip ICD Work?
The PIC16F877 was the first Microchip Microcontroller to have in-built debugging capabilities. The actual silicon area used for the debug facilities is tiny compared to the major peripherals. Microchip has keep the operation of the debug facilities pretty well under raps, however it doesnt take much reading between the lines to work out how the actual debugging facilities are implemented.
Intro to Programming PIC Microcontrollers in Linux
Article that goes over the basics in setting up to program PIC microcontrollers in Linux using GPUTILS and GPSIM. Includes a demonstration program in PIC ASM language and shows how to compile and simulate the program.
Programming PIC's in Linux using C with SDCC
An article going over the basic steps to get started writing C programs for PIC Microcontrollwers using SDCC. Also shows how to use interrupts in C and then simulate them with gpsim-- the GNU/Linux PIC simulator.
Sonar Sensor with PIC16F628 (pdf)
Application note, describing circuit -with PIC16F628- and XPad-software of a simple but effective low-cost sonar-application, which measures distances to obstacles using ultrasonic soundwaves.
