Microchip PIC
IDE controller
20. June 2008 - 13:15 — adminAn IDE interface for a microcontroller using an 8255 by Peter Faasse
Tiny PIC bootloader
12. June 2008 - 13:57 — adminThis is a bootloader for the Microchip PIC microcontrollers.It is the smallest bootloader, taking less than 100 words of program space and Supports families of PIC devices: 16F, 18F, dsPIC30.
EnerJar - DIY power draw meter
11. June 2008 - 14:19 — adminThe EnerJar is an easy-to-build device that accurately measures the power draw of electrical appliances.
microWatch - DIY Scientific Calculator
8. June 2008 - 18:26 — adminThe ultimate nerd status symbol: The world's most powerful (and only!) programmable RPN/Algebraic scientific calculator watch. Ridiculous? Perhaps. - Cool? Very! - Super Nerdy? You bet!
Parallel Processing Computer
7. June 2008 - 15:07 — adminThis project introduces a computer that uses multiple microcontrollers (MCUs) that cooperate to solve one problem. This “parallel computer” can be used as an educational system that will help the development, understanding and fine-tuning of many parallel algorithms. It can also be used to achieve high performance in many cases such as in Digital Signal Processing.
MIDI Laser Show
7. June 2008 - 14:05 — adminScott Coppersmith presents laser show controller based on dsPIC
PIC MIDI controller
31. May 2008 - 11:55 — adminThis MIDI Controller uses a PIC16F877A Micro and a 2 pin LCD Character Display.
USB OBD2 adapter
29. May 2008 - 14:04 — adminThis project was begun as a response to build simple ISO9141-2/14230-4 ELM323 compatible USB adapter for On Board Diagnostic (OBD2) monitoring.
Touch the dsPIC
28. May 2008 - 13:31 — adminIf you are thinking to move on DSP, maybe dsPIC microcontrollers can be a good start as they have DSP engine built in that allows fast multiply and divide operations with arrays.
