The goal of the project is to use a microcontroller to regulate some larger household like home thermostat. The project will control the space heater to keep environment temperature is maintained near a desired set point temperature. By using a USB interface, the project can be controlled using Windows application. The system uses PIC18F252 [...]

The dsPIC33FJ64GP206-based Ultimate Tremolo is a DSP-based guitar effect pedal that gives the user complete control of every parameter of the tremolo (or amplitude modulation) audio processing effect. This is accomplished by interfacing the pedal to a PC via a Microchip PIC18F4455 USB-enabled microcontroller and editing the settings through software rather than the normal [...]

This PIC18F1320-based mood lamp project contains of 3 Luxeon Star LED lights, red, green and blue. Each light uses around 1 Watt maximum. It typically consumes 40-60 times less electricity than a standard incandescent light bulb, It’s very efficient in energy use.

This PIC16F876A-based accu cycler project allow you to charge and discharge NiCd and NiMH accumulators for R/C modelers and others. It has performance close to commercial products in the market. The ‘intelligent’ part of the system can communicates with PC using serial port providing additional process visualization.

This is an embedded intelligence implanted into the automobile, a cognitive system that gives the vehicle some sort of an entity. The primary function of this entity is to assess driving attitude by keeping a watch on the driver stability both mental and physical, observing the driving patterns to arrive at a decision through a [...]

The project shows you how to build PIC-based emergency power system for 12-Volt device system. The hearts of the project is PIC16F870. The system will monitoring battery voltage both charging and discharging currents, control 4 digit display, and switches the AC and load relays.

The goal of this PIC 16F870-based project is to build simple function signal generator that can produce multi waveforms like sine, square, triangle, and saw burst sweep noise. The project uses R/2R resistor ladder network for a real fast and cheap D/A and a few other parts.
