Interface DS1307 RTC with PIC16f877 through I2C

Previous post introduce you the I2C communication protocol in briefly and present a complete set of functions to perform I2C communication as a 'master' (from hi tech C compiler). This post will be dedicated to introduce a RTC(Real Time Clock) IC DS1307 and a simple code to perform read/write operations on RTC through I2C. This code also...

Hi-tech C code for I2C communication

Before move to code I think it is better to write a brief introduction to I2C communication. I²C (pronounced I-squared-C) created by Philips Semiconductors and commonly written as 'I2C' stands for Inter-Integrated Circuit and allows communication of data between I2C devices over two wires. It sends information serially using one line for...

Proteus VSM viewer to debug MPLABX projects

Hi all, Before few months earlier I heard Microchip released a new IDE to implement firmwares for their products. That is MPLABX. MPlabX has very nice features and tools to assist while you are coding, compiling, debugging, etc... If you familiar with Netbeans, it will be the great advantage to use MPLABX. Because MPLAB X is based on the...
