Lots of external PIC Links
Key words to help you search the table.
- Projects: project descriptions, enough to reproduce the project, not just nice pictures
- Tutorial: a tutorial or how to
- Links: a link to more links
- Info: Useful information that does not rise to a tutorial, misc. tips.
- PICIntro: Intro material
- Asm: for assembler programs
- Clang: for C programs
- Forum: for a forum, mail list and their ilk
- WebRing: for a Web Ring.
So, for example, if you are looking for projects then search on Projects.
| Topic | Topic Link | Comment |
|---|---|---|
|
Microchip Net resources | This has the most links on the PIC that I have seen in one place. |
|
Welcome to the official PICList home page. | This is the place to go for a PIC message board, also many articles. Do not post here until you know what you are doing. |
|
PIC hints and direction | A link page that largely links. Small DC Power Supply, other link pages, may be useful. |
|
PICList Projects | Links to projects. Great list, start at the PICList for your projects after you look at the list here. |
|
Interesting not always easy. | |
|
Electronic combination lock with PIC | Electronic combination lock with PIC |
|
Beginners checklist for PIC Microcontrollers | Beginners checklist for PIC Microcontrollers. An excellent place to start. |
|
Spread Spectrum Scene PIC STUFF | Lots of links. |
|
Peter's electronic projects and links | Not all PIC but quite a few. |
|
What is a PICmicro? | This guy is very smart, a good site. |
|
PicMicro Webring | If you do not know what a WebRing perhaps you can figure it out from here. |
|
A stepbot is a three wheeled robot using stepper motors. | |
|
An Anemometer Circuit | Measure wind speed. This has no moving parts, works by measuring cooling of a “hot” transistor. Fairly low parts count. |
|
Bench Power Supply | Uses a PIC for control and to measure voltage and current. Not simple but nice. |
|
IR Remote Signal Analyzer | Pretty big PIC project, but cool. Know what your IR remote is sending. IR receivers are a pretty common salvage component |
|
IR Receiver for Sony Remotes | Simpler project than IR Remote Signal Analyzer which may be the better project |
|
PIC diode tester | Nice simple project. Good Starting project. Software is assembler. |
|
PIC IR Decoders | Decodes IR transmissions, has its own 4 digit display. Software is assembler. |
|
IR Proximity Detector Project | More fun with IR |
|
INDEX OF PROJECTS for Robots | Not entire robots but basic components for them. Some are PIC based. |
|
IR Robot Controller | control of a robot. Software is assembler. |
|
Your first PICMicro Project | Introduction to PIC processors using assembler. Even if you are using another language this is a good introduction. |
|
Beginning Embedded Electronics | This is not actually a PIC tutorial but lots of the material applies. This link is to the first of 10 + sections. |
|
Fire-Stick | This is an under $20. kit for long range IR communications. Uses some special parts so kit is probably a good idea. |
|
How to build a Serial Voltmeter using the PIC16C71 | Software in PIC basic, you could rewrite in a different language, or use a different chip. Voltmeter talks to a PC. They may have a kit, you may do not need it. |
|
The PIC Chip Uncovered | Introduction to the PIC. |
|
Battery Charger | Nice little battery charger. Universal Nicad/NiMH Includes printed circuit design. Software is assembler. |
|
Using the MicroChip PIC Microcontroller | A technical overview designed for students Another simple introduction. |
|
pic Micro Programming In Boostc For Beginners | Good beginner level |
|
A really Basic Guide to the PIC Microprocessor and BoostC | A really Basic Guide to the PIC Microprocessor and BoostC |
|
WinPicProg PIC Tutorial | Good introduction. Software is assembler. A series of simple projects. Good introduction to simple interface circuits. You might want to use a different programmer |
|
Nix's PIC based sonar system | This is a simple range detection system, perhaps for a robot. Directions are a bit brief. |
|
A Surprisingly Accurate Digital LC Meter | L is inductance ( what a coil of wire has. C is capacitance, what a capacitor has ). Very useful to identify unmarked parts. |
|
Autorange Capacitance Meter | Measure the value of a capacitance ( the stuff in a capacitor ). Auto ranging means the device switches itself between low and high measurement ranges. |
|
C sample code for PIC micros and Hi-Tech C | From Microchip. Lots of example programs in C: note that different versions of C can be quite different, esp. in their included libraries. |
|
BoostC Compiler Example Code | Lots of example programs in C: note that different versions of C can be quite different, esp. in their included libraries. |
|
Embedded Systems/PIC Microcontroller | A bit brief, may be improved over time. |
|
PIC Projects based on flash pic microcontrollers. | A big collection of projects. |
|
the official Microchip forum | lots of discussion -- try using Google to search this site, rather than the built-in search tool. |
|
While different versions of C are different, these may help no matter which version you are using. Some versions of Microchips compilers are free. | |
|
Dring Engineering Services | Wizards and calculators for generating PIC code. |
|
PIC Based Logic Probe | Might be handy around your lab. |
|
Introduction - How I got into using the PIC 16F628, 16F876 and other processors | One person's experience |
|
PICGuide.org | Lots of projects |
|
A nice little game built out of a PICmicro, a 2-line LCD screen, and a few supporting components on a solderless breadboard. Also more complex version with larger screen display. Source code and schematics available for download. | |
|
[triggers spam filter www.geocities.com/nozomsite/pic1.htm PIC 16F84] | Nice little introduction, more stuff elsewhere on site. |
|
the ICwiki at microchip.com
|
Lots of external PIC Links
Magic key words for searching for projects
- PIC: topics on PIC Microcontrlller
- PICIntro: intorductory material
- Project: an actual project
- Link: a link to more links
- Tutorial: a tutorial

Just what it says, do not start without reading this.
| |
|
This is the place to go for a PIC message board, also many articles. Please watch and learn for a few weeks before posting -- otherwise you may get flamed.
| |
|
A PIC16F877A project that tests and operates a stepper motor under the control of a PC running a terminal program.
| |
|
This is meant to be a more introductory guide to the PIC microprocessor and BoostC ( [1] ) than any I have been able to find on the web. Additionally I assume that you have only limited knowledge of electronics and other microprocessors.

|
Interesting but not always easy.

Great list, start at the PICList for your projects after you look at the list here.
