That kind of photo is actually an animation that consists of several photos of the same product but from different angles. It means that we need a device that can be controllable and that could take pictures on even intervals. Roughly, the device consists of PIC16F628A microcontroller, USB<->Serial PL2303 converter IC, ULN2803A IC transistor array, [...]

mikroProg™ for PIC®, dsPIC® and PIC32® website has been redesigned. They made it more elegant, clear and readable.

Phil from jumperone.com he wanted to try to write software for Microchip PIC16F883 microcontroller and he couldn’t find simple development board for it. And so he decided to made own development board. Source: jumperone

After the electromechanical timer on [Paul Canello's] washing machine broke for the third time he decided he needed to stop repairing it and find a more permanent fix. He decided to build his own microcontroller-based system for washing his clothes. The controller on a washing machine is nothing more than a mechanical alarm clock. It [...]

After having seen so many propeller clockPOV videos on Youtube, but no real description of how they work or how to build your own, Chris made one also and documents how it was built. The Pyro Propeller Clock POV design criteria was short and sweet: be as simple as possible in order to encourage others [...]
