In a previous example we connected a DHt11 sensor and outputted the results via the serial connection, this is reasonable enough for testing purposes but a more practical example would be to display this information on an LCD display for …

The DHT11 digital temperature and humidity sensor is a composite Sensor contains a calibrated digital signal output of the temperature and humidity. Application of a dedicated digital modules collection technology and the temperature and humidity sensing technology, to ensure that the …

This example is like a dark activated alarm using an LDR and a LED, in this case when the value read in drops below a certain level the LED will light. In the real world you could make a dark …

This is a simple example which shows how to connect an LDR to a Chipkit UNO. In this example we are using Mpide and will be outputting the results via the serial monitor window A photoresistor or light-dependent resistor (LDR) …

RKPK28 Prototype PCB The next PIC development board is again from RKeducation and is designed for use with 28 pin PICs in this case I used a PIC 18f2685, another PIC microcontroller I didn’t have in my collection You can …

Where I normally like to create development boards for microcontrollers on stripboard, sometimes there are ready made boards or kits available that simplify things. We will look at several of these that I have purchased and I will highlight features …

In this example we connect a MAx7219 8×8 LED matrix to our PIC 16F819 development board Here is a picture of the module, these are very common and available from many sites The connections are as follows MAX7219 Pin Pic16F819 …

The USB Bit Whacker is a spectacular little development board featuring the PIC18F2553. Based on the work of Brian Schmalz, the UBW is a small board with a command interpreter for basic input and output control. When attached to a …

In a previous example we connected a 16×2 LCD to our development board and displayed text on it, in this example we use the 2 buttons on the board to display some text on the LCD There are 2 buttons …

In this example we connected an LCD to the LCD 1602 LCD connection on the Open18F4520 PIC evaluation development board from Waveshare. A simple example is to display some basic text on the LCD display. This is a picture of the …
