Introduction Microcontrollers have revolutionized the world of embedded systems by providing a versatile platform for building intelligent devices. In this blog post, we will explore the powerful dsPIC33FJ64GS606 microcontroller and learn how to create an engaging LED blinking project using a 10-millisecond timer interrupt. With a deep dive into the intricacies of timer configuration, we’ll…
Overview Multi-channel PWM signal generation with a dsPIC33 microcontroller involves generating multiple PWM signals simultaneously on different output pins. This capability allows you to control multiple actuators, such as motors or LEDs, with individual PWM signals.

Overview In this tutorial, we will learn how to use an External Interrupt in PIC Microcontroller and why/where we will need them. This is a part of the sequence of PIC Tutorials in which we started learning PIC Microcontrollers from scratch; hence this tutorial assumes that you are familiar with how to program a PIC…
Overview In this essay, we will study PIC Microcontroller push button interfacing. The GPIO (General Purpose input-output) pins are also provided by PIC, just like other microcontrollers. We can connect input-output devices to GPIO pins, such as LEDs, switches, adc power supplies, sensors, etc. Here, we’ll see how to operate an SPST (single pole, single…
Overview In this tutorial, we will learn How to Blink an LED with DSPIC33FJ64GS606 Microcontroller using MPAB XC16 Compiler. Product Overview The DSPIC33FJ64GS606-I/PT is a 16-bit Digital Signal Controller with high-speed PWM, ADC and comparators. The PGECx and PGEDx pins are used for In-circuit Serial Programming™ (ICSP™) and debugging purposes. It is recommended to keep the…
GSM Network time synchronization for RTC using AT+CLTS command Since I started designing the VALTRACK GPS trackers, I have always had trouble maintaining the tracking device’s correct time because once I removed the battery, the PIC RTC lost its synchronization. I didn’t have the space or luxury to maintain a separate backup battery for the…
In this tutorial, we are going to discuss RTC Interfacing with PIC24. Before that, we should know about the RTC (PCF8563) operations. Let’s start. Components Required: 1 pic24 2 pcf8563 3 serial terminal Features and benefits Provides year, month, day, weekday, hours, minutes, and seconds based on a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal Century flag…
Requirements: Hardware: Software: PIC24FJ256GA110 FAMILY Pin diagram of PIC24 Fig. 1: PIC24FJ128GA106 Pinouts Now we are going to see PIC24 Interrupt and GMS Data Send to Server Tutorial. Both, Parallel and Serial modes of communication have certain advantages and disadvantages over one another. The serial communication is a preferred option due to its ability of…
In this tutorial we learn to Enable UART communication with PIC Microcontroller and how to transfer data to and from your Computer. Now, we will equip our self with a new communication tool called UART which widely used in most of the Microcontroller projects. Check here our complete PIC Microcontroller Tutorials using MPLAB and XC8. Requirements: Hardware: Software:…
In this tutorial we will learn How to Blink an LED with PIC Microcontroller using MPAB XC16 Compiler. Recently Microchip released a series of development tools including MPLAB X IDE and MPAB XC Compilers. MPLAB X IDE is a software that runs on a computer intended to develop applications for Microchip’s Microcontrollers and Digital Signal Controllers. It can be used…
