Simple example program for the PIC12F675 microcontroller
The PIC12F675 is a very inexpensive 8-bit microcontroller from Microchip that’s available in an 8-pin DIP package (i.e. it’s suitable for breadboard use). I’ve had a small tube of these on the shelf for a few years, but I’ve only … Continue reading

A simple way to read and write audio and video files in C using FFmpeg (part 2: video)
In my previous post, I demonstrated how FFmpeg can be used to pipe raw audio samples in and out of a simple C program to or from media files such as WAV files (based on something similar for Python I … Continue reading

A simple way to read and write audio and video files in C using FFmpeg (part 1: audio)
C is my favourite programming language and the one I use most often. However, I have tended to shy away from using it for quick one-off signal processing tasks where I needed to read or write audio or video files … Continue reading

Generating antiphase PWM signals with the dsPIC30F4011
I frequently receive queries from people who are using a dsPIC microcontroller to control power electronics of some kind, such as in an inverter, a voltage converter, or similar. Many of these queries relate to the generation of different combinations … Continue reading

Using SendInput to type unicode characters
I received a query from reader Partha D about generating unicode keystrokes using the SendInput function in Windows. As I understand it, Partha wants to generate one or more unicode keystrokes when a particular keyboard shortcut is pressed. The following … Continue reading

Writing bytes to a serial port in C
This is a (relatively) simple example of a C program to send five bytes to a serial port in Windows. In this case, I’m sending the five characters “hello” via COM22 at 38400 baud, but of course the program can … Continue reading

Simple interrupt-driven sampling example for the dsPIC30F4011
Reader Swetha wrote in with a query about performing 10Hz sampling on a dsPIC30F4011 in some kind of energy monitoring system. The following example illustrates a basic structure for interrupt-driven sampling using Timer 1. I compiled this program with Microchip’s … Continue reading
