Amicus is a PIC microcontroller development system inspired by the popular Arduino board and it is using a PIC mcu instead of an ATMEL. The Amicus hardware is open meaning schematic and design files are free to download. Also Amicus software and IDE (integrated development environment) is free of charge. Check details on the link below.

An intervalometer is used to take a photo at a preset interval. This design by Udi Tirosh may be the smallest DIY intervalometer ever made. It uses a micro PIC microcontroller and two other smd parts and is so small it fits inside a phone jack! Source code and desing files are available on the link below. [via]

The heart of this PWM controller is a PIC 12F675 microcontroller that reads the analog output of a LM35 and converts it to digital using the ADC (analog to digital converter). This value is converted to temperature and the fan speed is controlled proportionally to how hot the sensor is.
