Greetings all.
Recently I was introduced to the extensive world of Microcontrollers, through one of my classes at Devry. For this class, I am required to come up with a project using the PIC 16F84A. Having no previous knowledge reguarding PIC's, I am at a bit of a loss. Like the good technician I am :roll: , I went out and did some research on what kinds of things can be done with this microcontroller; I got results, but nothing really stood out.
As of now, I have a basic understanding of programming and I have a board/PIC to program to. It is the PIC-EL 160 board that can be found at
https://www.amqrp.org/elmer160/board/index.html. I have had great succes with this board and the Elmer 160 labs. This left me wondering about the potential this board might have.
Here is where you guys come in :wink: . So far, I found some nifty motor control circuits, temp sensors, and various sensory alarms. I saw a few pages on simple games, but there was much info other than where to buy the kit. If anyone has some suggestions for a project, mabey some kind of game that could make use of the PIC-EL's onboard speaker, and LCD, that would be great.
