Hello friends, hope you all are fine and enjoying good health. In today's tutorial we are gonna have a look at Installation of MPLAB C Compiler in Windows. In the previous part of this chapter, I have explained How to install the MPLAB software in Windows, that part was not much tricky and we did very easily and our software was then ready to use, but as we didn't install the C compiler so we can't do C programming for PIC Microcontroller on MPLAB. We can only do assembly programming on it. Now in this post I will teach you how to install MPLAB C18 compiler so that we can do programming of PIC in C. There are many different compilers available in the market, one of them is MikroC and another famous one is CCS but they are paid compilers means you ...
In the last tutorial, we discussed Getting Started with Microcontrollers and how they work and now we are gonna have a look at Getting Started with PIC Microcontrollers. PIC microcontrollers, as I mentioned before, are manufactured by Microchip. There are many types of microcontrollers but here I am concerned with PIC18F452.So let's have a small review of PIC18F452 PIC microcontrollers.
PIC18F452 is a 40-pin microcontroller each pin has its functionality, which we will see in our next classes one by one. suppose I want to create a project on LED blinking, a simple project on PIC so what do I have to do? First of all, I need the following things so that I may use them to work with PIC. I have discussed the Functions available in the PIC18F452 Microcontroller in the next post.

Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today tutorial, I am going to give you a detailed Introduction to Methods in C#. It's our 12th tutorial in C# series. So far, we have covered all the basic concepts in C# and now it's time to move forward and have a look at some complex concepts.
Methods have an important role in C# programming and if you want to be an efficient programmer then you must set your method controls correctly. Some methods have secret codes in them, which you don't want to give access to your developers, then you can set it private. We will cover such things in detail later, let's first have a look at Introduction to Methods in C#:

A lot of people took engineering for the love of math and machines. Most are introverts as well, diligently doing their project in workshops, plants, or computers. Unless you are in sales, academia, or managerial positions, you don’t meet a lot of people as much as a doctor or a lawyer.
However, this should not stop you from establishing your network. People networks may not be the most popular engineering tool. Albeit, you might be surprised by how useful and powerful it can be.
The good thing is that there are contact management apps nowadays. You can compartmentalize your contacts- suppliers, specialists, laborers, and so on. With the
right contact management app
, you can reap the following benefits.

Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to share a detailed Introduction to MC34063. It's normally required for the construction of DC to DC converters. MC34063 has a high current output switch, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller with current limiting, compensated reference of internal temperature, a comparator and a driver.
For the inverting, boost and buck applications there is no need of a huge complicated external components, instead they can be performed using minimum external components. MC 34063 operates properly in the temperature ranging from 0 to 70 degree celsius. MC34063 ha s wide range of applications in real life e.g. portable equipment, Human Machine Interface (HMI), test and m ...
Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great. Today, I am going to share a detailed list of Mobile Apps for Engineers. Mobile apps are here not just to stay, but also to help you enhance your engineering career. If you are a practicing engineer or an engineering student, you need to optimize the power of mobile apps. To help you do this, here is our selected list of engineering apps that will help you work and manage your operations on the go.
I have tried to add the best Engineering Apps to this list, but if you have any Mobile App for Engineers in mind then do share them with us. And I will add it to this list. So, let's get started with Mobile Apps for Engineers:
1. Engineering Pro
This app is a great tool for memorizing or referencing your l ...
By using CNC-machined parts for your next engineering project, you can ensure precision, quality, and speed. So, let us take a look at three options for creating custom parts.
What Is CNC Machining?
Before we look at the three options available to you, it is worth briefly explaining what CNC machining is. CNC machining is short for Computer Numerical Control. It is a modern manufacturing method that involves the use of computer-controlled machinery to make custom parts.
The process begins with creating a CAD design
of the part you want to make. The design is then translated into g-code
and fed into the item of CNC machinery.
The machine then simply gets to work at creating your design with the utmost precision and consistency. The types of CNC machines
range widely – from mil ...
Taking a break from work might seem like a burden, but no matter how much you love your job or believe that you are the only one who is capable of doing it, it’s important to give your body and your mind a break. Sometimes people get so caught up in their work that they forget to take a moment to recharge. A break can be beneficial to those who work long hours or to those who work seven days a week. Some might see a break as a time to kick-back and watch work flow by, but relaxing can provide an uptick in motivation, creativity, and productivity. Everyone relaxes in their own way: some people exercise and some meditate. Regardless of your method, it’s important to have something that takes your mind off your job. There’s an assortment of ways to ...
Industrial workplace health and safety are essential for avoiding work-related accidents, injuries, and fatalities. In fact, as many as 13,455,000 workers across manufacturing industries in the US are at risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries, the CDC reveals. Not only does improving workplace health and safety protect workers, but it also prevents lost work days and lost revenue. The National Safety Council found work injuries cost businesses a total of $161.5 billion annually, equating to $1,100 per worker.
Improve employee training
New workers are three times more likely to sustain an injury in their first month than workers with a year's experience on the job. By improving employee training and tailoring programs to the demands of each individu ...
Hello friends, hope you are having fun. Today, I am going to share two types of Electronic Door Locks design using PIC Microcontroller and simulated in Proteus ISIS software. We all know about Electronic Door Locks as we have seen them in many homes. In electronic door locks, there's some password that is only known to some persons. Now if you enter the wrong password then the door won't open up and will ask for the password again. And if you keep on trying the wrong password then it will start the buzzer or can alert the concerned person via SMS etc. So, such electronic door locks are quite common in our society and are considered among the best electronic door locks.
Today, I am going to share a similar project in which I have simulated an Elect ...
