Car Battery Voltage Monitoring using PIC Microcontroller


In this project we are going to make a PIC based Car Battery Monitoring system on PCB. Here, we have designed a PCB using EASYEDA online PCB simulator and designer. This Car Battery Monitoring Circuit is used to monitor the power of Car Battery by just plugging it into the power outlet on the dashboard of a car. The PCB also has the option to use it as Voltage Measurement tool or Voltmeter without using USB car charger. We have attached a terminal block here to measure the voltage of other power sources, just by connecting two wires in it from the power source.

PIC Microcontroller Tutorial: Learn about Timers

In this PIC microcontroller tutorial series, this tutorial will help you to learn and use Timers in PIC16F877A. In our previous tutorials, we had started with Introduction to PIC and MPLABX IDE, then we wrote our first PIC program to blink the LED using PIC and then made a LED Blinking Sequence by using delay function in PIC Microcontroller. Now let us use the same LED Blinking sequence which we have used in previous tutorial hardware and with this we will Learn How to use Timers in our PIC MCU. We have just added one more button in LED board for this tutorial. Go through the tutorial to learn more.
