This RGB LED driver uses logic level ‘N’ channel high power MOSFETs which allow it to control LED arrays or lamps at up to 5 amps per channel without heatsinks. The main unit control by PIC16F683. The circuit will operate from a supply voltage in the range 9 to 24 volts. [more]

This mini-sumo is controlled by a PIC 16F877 micro-controller. The motors are Micromo 1717 gearmotors, and they are powered through a Texas Instruments SN754410NE one amp dual h-bridge. A single NiMh 9 volt battery provides the power for both the electronics and the motors. The tires & wheels are standard R/C racing tires & wheels for street touring cars. The IR range-finders are Sharp GP2D12 analog sensors.[more]

Pinguino is an open source set of tools. The goal of this project is to build a real USB development board. Due to the many applications designed with Arduino and based on an ATMEL microcontroller, the idea was to build a compatible board and language with a real USB microcontroller, the PIC18F2550.This Pinguino or Arduino-like board based on a PIC Microcontroller. The goal of this project is to build an integrated IDE easy to use on LINUX, WINDOWS and MAC OS X. Arduino is a powerful tool with some defaults. One of its inconveniences are a no native USB interface on the chip and its code length.
The IDE of Pinguino is built with Python. An integrated preprocessor translates specific Arduino instructions directly into C. This preprocessor reduces the code length and the execution speed. Pinguino hardware is based on a PIC18F2550. This chip has an integrated native USB module and an UART for serial link.[more]

In-Circuit-Debuggers, as you may already know, have become the PICโs debugging standard tool for many programmers because itโs easy use and handy interface to the target picplaced- board. They come with MPLAB plug-ins that provides a full rich set of commands and functions in order to debug your code in real time. [more]
