There is no doubt that home automation have become the norm. Apart from using electronic gadgets, like smart mobile phones, people now want to live in smart homes where systems operate automatically by themselves based on certain conditions of the environment. One of such smart systems is a motion activated AC switch using Arduino and
When you start tinkering with micro-controllers, one of the most important tools you will have in your toolbox is a chip programmer. There are a lot of programmers for different types of micro-controllers. So the type of programmer you have depends on the type of micro-controller you want to program. For example, 8051, PIC, AVR
Microcontroller is a type of integrated circuits designed to govern a specific operation in an embedded system. A typical microcontroller includes a processor, memory and input/output (I/O) peripherals on a single chip. Microcontroller sometimes referred to as Microcontrollers unit (MCU) can be found in almost every modern systems ranging from vehicles, robots, vending machines and
Sequel to our last tutorial Introduction to PIC microcontrollers, In this tutorial we are going to learn the methods of programing PIC microcontroller. If you still remembered, in the last tutorial, we learnt basically what a PIC microcontroller is and the hardware and software required in other to program a PIC microcontroller. So I will
