Posted by Bitahwa Bindu on Wednesday, 04 September 2013 in Graphical User Interface, Tutorials tags: ASP.Net, C#, Ethernet, GUI, HTML, PIC Communication, Tutorials, Visual Studio No Comment 3345 Reads

A graphical user interface (GUI) is one of the ways to interface between your microcontroller and a personal computer (PC) operated by a human with a mouse or a keyboard. It is always easy and require less skills to operate a device from a visual representations of the workspace (GUI) by simply clicking a mouse or using a keyboard rather than a command line. GUI can also be used to interface with other external devices located in different places. There are a lot of kinds software which can be use to design a GUI platform, the choice will usually depend on personnel preferences, software capabilities and the operating systems (Windows, Linux, Mac...). Among the popular ones we have Microsoft Visual Basic, Microsoft C#, Labview, Matlab etc.

Microcontroller Interfacing – Advanced

Microcontrollers have become very useful in embedded design as they can easily communicate with other devices, such as sensors, switches, LCD displays, keypads, motors and even other microcontrollers. A microcontroller is basically used as the brain or intelligent processing unit to control other devices connected (interfaced) to it in embedded systems just like a PLC in industrial automation. To interface a device to a microcontroller simply means to Connect a device to a microcontroller. This article will make it easier to anybody with very limited experience in electronics to learn how to interface to a PIC Microcontroller some advanced components Graphical LCD, Quad 7-Segment Display, SD Card, DC Motor, GSM modem, GPS module, Real Time Clock and so on.

Ethernet Communication with PIC Microcontroller

Posted by Bitahwa Bindu on Sunday, 20 July 2014 in Flowcode for PIC, MikroC Pro for PIC, MPLAB XC8, Tutorials tags: Ethernet, Flowcode, Microcontroller, MikroC, MPLAB X, PIC Communication No Comment 3545 Reads

In this series of PIC Microcontroller Communication, after learning on how PIC Microcontroller Communication with I2C, SPI, RS232 and USB can be achieved, in this article we are going to discuss the concepts of Ethernet Communication with PIC Microcontroller. When it comes to communication involving wires, Ethernet is the leading wired standard for networking as it enables to connect a very large number of computers, microcontrollers and other computer-based equipment to each other. With just a switch, many different devices can easily communicate with one another with Ethernet, allowing devices and equipment to be accessed remotely and provides a cost-effective and reliable means of monitoring or controlling such equipment, for example a person could monitor several vending machines located in different places which can be several kilometers apart from the PC at the conform of your desk. A simple online interface to the vending machines can allow you to monitor everything from the internet.

Getting Started with ENC28J60 Ethernet Controller with Microcontrollers

Posted by Bitahwa Bindu on Friday, 25 July 2014 in Flowcode for PIC, Internet of Things, MikroC Pro for PIC, MPLAB XC8, Tutorials tags: ENC28J60, Ethernet, Flowcode, Flowcode v6, Flowcode v7, Interfacing, IoT, Microchip TCP/IP Lite Stack, Microcontroller, MikroC, MPLAB XC8, PIC, PIC Communication, PIC16F, PIC18F, TCP/IP, Tutorials, UDP No Comment 1675 Reads

Ethernet is the leading wired standard for networking as it enables to connect a very large number of computers, microcontrollers and other computer-based equipment to one another. With just a network switch, many different devices can easily communicate with one another with Ethernet, allowing different devices and equipment to be accessed remotely and this also provides a cost-effective and reliable means of remote control and monitoring, home automation, Internet of Things applications and many more. If you are using a microcontroller which does not have an integrated Ethernet peripheral, Microchip offers a serial Ethernet chip that can easily be used by any microcontroller with an SPI interface to provide Ethernet capability to the application. many compilers offer peripheral libraries to get you started in minutes.

The ENC28J60 is a popular 28-pin serial Ethernet chip, 10BASE-T stand alone Ethernet Controller with SPI interface, on board MAC & PHY, 8 Kbytes of Buffer RAM and an SPI serial interface. In this article we will learn how to use the ENC28J60 Ethernet controller with MikroC Pro for PIC SPI Ethernet ENC28J60 Library.

Web-Based Control and Monitoring with PIC Microcontroller – MikroC

Ethernet is the leading wired standard for networking as it enables to connect a very large number of computers, microcontrollers and other computer-based equipment to one another. In this project we are going to learn how to control any device like an LED, a relay, a light bulb, a motor and so on connected to a PIC Microcontroller from a remote location using just a web browser. An operator can use a computer, tablet or even a cellphone to control a device at a remote location. With the help of a router connected to the internet, this device can be controlled anywhere from the world in real time. Connecting to a Microcontroller using a web browser is the easiest and reliable method of establishing connectivity and above all there is no need to develop a special Graphical User Interface software on the PC or cellphone for that matter as all PCs' operating systems already have a built-in web browser or one can download one of the free other web browsers like Google chrome or Mozilla firefox for example.

Microchip Libraries for Applications

Microchip Libraries for Applications (MLA) is a collection of Microchip firmware libraries, drivers, demo projects, documentation and utilities for different type of applications including USB, Graphic displays, File I/O (Memory cards), TCP IP, Smartphone and many more. Not all firmware libraries and demo projects from Microchip are distributed in this package; rather, this package includes a few specific libraries that tend to be used together. By distributing libraries that are used often together, Microchip can provide example projects that integrate the use of multiple libraries.
