The following project shows a way to enhance the working of mid range PIC microcontrollers like PIC16F1827 and PIC16F1847. Read on to know more on this.
Because of the compact size, the PIC microcontrollers are the most popular choice for small microcontroller based projects. The newest PIC microcontroller is the PIC16F1847 which has many advantages that makes it lot more usable.
To enhance the working of PIC microcontrollers, the following things should be added to the original PIC board. These components would not only make the PIC handy but also help to enhance the working of the microcontroller.
- An ICSP header
- On board Voltage Ragulator
- LCD display
- LEDs
- Tact switches
- Potentiometer
- TTL to RS232 voltage level translation
- External serial EEPROM
- GPIO expander
- Quad Op-amp IC
- Digital potentiometer
- Gain amplifiers
- Temperature Sensors
- Mini breadboard
If you are looking for a high-end microcontroller just because of the lack of program memory or RAM, then the PIC16F1847 would be the best choice. The new PIC16F1847 is equipped with 14kb of flash memory and 1kb of data RAM.
