    How to use I2C-bus on the Atmel AVR Microcontroller

    Wednesday February 04, 2009 by rwb, under Microcontroller.

    I2C (read as I Squared C) bus first introduced by Philips in 1980, because of its simplicity and flexibility the I2C bus has become one of the most important microcontroller bus system used for interfacing various IC-devices with the microcontroller. The I2C bus use only 2 bidirectional data lines for communicating with the microcontroller and the I2C protocol specification can support up to 128 devices attached to the same bus. Read more »

    H-Bridge Microchip PIC Microcontroller PWM Motor Controller

    Monday January 26, 2009 by rwb, under Microcontroller.

    One of the advantages using the Microchip PIC microcontroller Pulse Width Modulation or PWM for short is; this PWM peripheral circuit is designed to control the DC motor using the full bridge mode PWM feature. The PWM peripheral works by supplying the correct signal to the H-Bridge DC motor circuit such as speed controlling and changing the DC motor direction. Read more »
