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 ...

The PICkit 3 is a programmer and debugger for Microchip PIC microcontrollers, enabling developers to upload code, test, and debug hardware directly from a PC using MPLAB IDE. It supports in-circuit ...

Dogan Ibrahim has a new book that focuses on advanced usage of the PIC18 microcontroller series by Microchip. The book reviews the PIC18 series in-depth and the mikroC complier that is used throughout ...

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 ...

We could all use a new hobby in 2021, especially after tiring of our old ones over the past year. If you're hoping to expand your interests and happen to have some free time on your hands at home due ...

Microchip PIC chip applications have traditionally been programmed using the MPLAB or MPLABX Integrated Development Environment (IDE) development tools. These coding tools allow hardware engineers to ...

Addressing the challenge of sensor-based IoT systems that combine analog functionality and digital control capability, Microchip Technology Inc. has introduced the first PIC and AVR microcontrollers ...

Nanosecond interval timers are a critical component in products as diverse as time-domain reflectometers (TDRs), collision-avoidance systems, radar altimeters, and nuclear instrumentation. This simple ...

The cloud is more than just a target for the Internet of Things (IoT). It is also a platform for providing online development tools. This trend is only increasing. It has been used for enterprise ...

In this paper, the authors design and develop an advanced automation system in the industries. In this technique they are using the GSM modem which have the SIM card present in it, the user can send ...
