PICkitPlus – A programming software that revitalizes the outdated PICkit2 and PICkit3


https://www.electronics-lab.com/pickitplus-software-enhances-outdated-pickit2-pickit3/

Microchip’s PICkit2 and PICkit3 are both In-Circuit Debugger/Programmers, designed for programming and debugging Microchip PIC microcontrollers (and occasionally EEPROMs). The PICkit2 programmer was released back in 2005, and allowed the user to program and debug most of the 8 and 16 bit PIC microcontrollers and dsPIC controllers as well. Its successor, the PICkit3 programmer, was […]

Getting Started with a PIC16 programming


https://www.electronics-lab.com/getting-started-pic16-programming/

Getting Started with a PIC16, Specifically, a PIC16f18326, by Mattia Maldini @ medium.com: Today I’m going to make a quick tutorial on how to program a bare PIC16, specifically the PIC16f18326. No demo boards and no USB cable, just the MCU, a breadboard and a dedicated programmer. One of the main reasons for this tutorial […]

PSLab is an Open Source Platform For STEM Education


https://www.electronics-lab.com/pslab-open-source-platform-stem-education/

I remember many years ago, when I was trying to acquire data with hardware especially with “Data Acquisition” devices, I was gifted a device that I must say reshaped my life – It was the NI myDAQ. The NI myDAQ was a product from National Instrument, and it allowed students to perform hands-on experimentation in […]

Microchip New Ultra-Low Power LoRa SiP


https://www.electronics-lab.com/microchip-new-ultra-low-power-lora-sip/

Microchip has announced at Electronica 2018 in Munich its new  SAM R34/35 integrated LoRa System-in-Package (SiP) family which combines an ultra-low-power 32-bit microcontroller, a sub-GHz RF LoRa transceiver and a software stack. The chip is built specifically for the Internet of Things and for remote sensor platforms that only wake up periodically to transmit small […]

Extended battery life in portable devices with new low Iq LDO


https://www.electronics-lab.com/extended-battery-life-portable-devices-new-low-iq-ldo/

Extending battery life in portable devices up to four times longer than traditional ultra-low quiescent (Iq) LDOs, Microchip has announced a linear Low Dropout (LDO) regulator. With an ultra-low Iq of 250nA versus the approximate 1uA operation of traditional devices, the MCP1811 LDO reduces quiescent current to save battery life, enabling end-users to recharge or replace batteries less often. […]
