    Need microcontroller recommendation

    Hi, I'm measuring distance using ultrasonic transducers. I will start timing, send a 40kHz pulse from the source and will return the pulse from the target (which will also contain a receiver and transmitter). I need a microcontroller with an analog comparator so that it will detect a certain...

    Controlling Solenoid Valves & Sensors with Microcontroller

    Hi, I'm trying to control some solenoid valves and sensors with a microcontroller and I'm not sure what type of circuitry might be used to best accomplish this. For the outputs I think a ULN2003AI made by Texas Instruments might work but for the inputs I'm not real sure what I need to take...

    Can Port RC0 of PIC16F877 Output an Oscillator Signal for Blinking LEDs?

    Hi, One of my projects requires my team to build a remote-controlled boat. One of the features of the boat is an indicator light feature which will blink on and off to indicate that there is this ship nearby and signal to other ships to clear away during dim light conditions (for example...
