The stepper motor offers a different type of mobility than DC motors. If your project needs to travel at precise speed or distance then stepper motors are your easy-to-implement answer!

Using development boards for prototyping is great for beginning, however there comes a time when you need to learn how to design your own circuit for your own board.

Servo motors offer two things a DC motor rarely can: Torque & Precision. Learn how to use the PIC to control servo motors so you can include them in your next project!

If you want your next project to be mobile, being able to reliably control motors is a must. In this tutorial, we use the LMD18245 to control a simple 12v DC motor.

Expanding upon the previous tutorial where we learned how to connect a PIC to a host computer, we are now ready to actually program the PIC. This tutorial explains that process.

The Test Box is a primitive VGA controller that uses a µController and runs at 4 MHz. The µController outputs VGA signals; the monitor receives them & displays what is sent.
