This chapter, like its predecessor, focuses both in hardware and software related to PIC microcontrollers. In the second part, we made an attempt to blink one LED through a PIC microcontroller ...

When working on a project, plenty of us will reach for an Atmel microcontroller because of the widespread prevalence of the Arduino platform. A few hackers would opt for a bit more modern part like an ...

Microchip Technology announced the expansion of its 8-bit eXtreme low Power (XLP) Enhanced Midrange Core PIC® microcontrollers (MCUs), with the new PIC16F1512/13 devices. These new 28-pin MCUs offer a ...

USB interfaces are everywhere today, with low cost flash memory drives and all kinds of USB peripherals readily available. But these are very much focused on the PC market. Attempt to make use of ...

In the maker world, it’s the Arduino and ESP32 lines that get the lion’s share of attention. However, you can do fantastic things with PIC chips, too, if you put the dev time in—it’s just perhaps less ...
