This paper presents a real-time DC Motor speed controller design using a microcontroller-based network system. The design architecture was developed using two Phytec evaluation boards each having an Infineon eightbit C505C-L microcontroller. The system detects the realtime speed of the motor using the sensor device and then transfers data to the first Phytec board’s microcontroller using serial...

In this paper, one dimensional drift free attitude estimation system using accelerometer and gyroscope was studied. The proposed system fuses data from accelerometers and gyroscopes by means of a Kalman filter. A PIC microcontroller is used for estimating the angle value in the proposed system. Moreover, this controller does all data acquisition and interfacing tasks. The experimental results a...

This report represents the design and implementation of a skin temperature measurement system. The system aims to measure the skin temperature from a sensor and send it to the PC using a USB cable to display on screen. The data needs to be updated every second. The PIC18F4550 microcontroller has been used in this project to obtain data from the sensor and send it to the PC using USB 2.0 that ha...

This application note explains how to determine if a specific LCD panel is supported by the ÉlanTMSC300 microcontroller, and in what modes (CGA two-color or four-color graphics, CGA text, HGA graphics, HGA text); how to configure the ÉlanSC300 microcontroller to work with the LCD panel in those modes; and which signals need to be connected to the ÉlanSC300 microcontroller to properly drive the ...

In some of those applications, a dedicated Switched Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Controller IC is used in conjunction with a microcontroller. In other applications, however, a dedicated SMPS Controller IC may be overkill. An alternative approach is to generate a low cost SMPS function in a smart microcontroller, such as the PIC16C620A. This Application Note shows a method of using the microcontroll...

This paper presents a personal computer (PC)-based data acquisition and control tool that uses a Peripheral Interface Controller (PIC) microcontroller, Matlab, and Simulink. Specifically, a library of PIC microcontroller functions for Simulink is created. Moreover, the PIC microcontroller and Matlab are merged, by exploiting their serial communication capability, to produce an inexpensive data ...

The synchronous microcontroller is a common processor found in many embedded system. By using asynchronous design techniques, the performance of the microcontroller is increased. Through the simulation and existing synchronous design tools in the asynchronous design flow, a “clock enabling technique” is simulated and then implemented. The asynchronous architecture includes an ALU, a decoder, a ...

This book provides practicing scientists and engineers a tutorial on the fundamental concepts and use of microcontrollers. Today, microcontrollers, or single integrated circuit (chip) computers, play critical roles in almost all instrumentation and control systems. Most existing books are written for undergraduate and graduate students taking an electrical and/or computer engineering course. Fu...

The growing implementation of technology had significant impact on its methods and practice.
