12F675 Tutorial Projects

A tutorial on the 12F675 PIC microcontroller.

The 12F675 Tutorial is designed to get you going using the 12F675 device easily.

A series of projects with increasing complexity develop your understanding of this powerful chip. Starting out with an LED flasher and progressing on to data loggers and servo motor control.

You will learn about:

  • Data logging.
  • EEprom storage.
  • Interrupts.
  • Software Coded Serial Ports.
  • Servo motor control.
  • Serial control via PC.
Note: Don't Forget this is all within the tiny space of the 8-PIN12F675!

There are 7 projects starting out with an LED flash circuit
You are provided with the hex file for each project so you
can build the circuit. You can then experiment using the
free MikroC compiler and alter the code and recompile.

The following projects are included in the download

Tutorial 1: Flashing an LED

The first program is a flashing LED - it always is! The reason is that there is the least hardware to go wrong so it gives a good test of your system setup.

This project also uses the 12F675's internal oscillator and you don't need a crystal so there is even less to go wrong!

Tutorial 2: Switch debounce

This 12F675 microcontroller switch debounce tutorial shows you how to read keys at a microcontroller port and how to debounce a switch for reliable switch detection.

Tutorial 3: PIC Serial Port

Here you can find out how to add a PIC serial Port to the 12F675 and this is interesting because the 12F675 does not have a built in serial hardware module (you can use it on any other PIC device even a 16F84 as it uses a software implementation of the transmit part of a USART).

Adding a pic serial port connection to the circuit gives you scope for much more interesting projects as you can collect data from the ADC (inputs) or comparator or external infrared receiver module etc. and transmit it to a PC.

Tutorial 4: Making an LM35 temperature recorder.

This page shows you how you can make an LM35 a temperature store by using the 12F675 PIC microcontroller as the controller and data store.

It generates serial output so that you can view the results on a PC and it also calculates the temperature reading in Farenheit sending both to the serial port at half second intervals.

Tutorial 5 : Temperature data logger using EEPROM

EEPROM is useful for storing long term data such as temperature on other environment information you can store anything reliably and it won't be lost when the circuit is powered off.

This PIC microcontroller EEPROM project saves the temperature from an LM35DZ IC to the PIC's internal long term data storage area. The project follows on from the last project using the virtually the same hardware.

Tutorial 6: Driving a standard servo motor

Driving a servo motor is easy even with the small 12F675 microcontroller.

The microcontroller generates the signals to control a standard servo using Timer 0 interrupts (I used a Futaba servo). It does not do anything clever just sets the servo position to predefined positions at one second intervals.

A Timer 0 interrupt creates the 20ms timebase for servo updates using the internal clock and prescaler to accurately set the interrupt repeat rate.

Tutorial 7: Serial port driven Servo Motor

You can use this code to control a servo motor from a PC via a serial port (USB RS232 adaptor is required).
