Abstract
This chapter provides information on PIC applications and a detailed description of the application for the PIC microcontroller, 16F887 is given. The 16F887 has a comprehensive set of peripheral features, including 14 analogue inputs, three timers, four ECCP (Enhanced Capture Compare PWM) channels, extended universal synchronous asynchronous receiver transmitter (EUSART), MSSP (Master Synchronous Serial Port) and in-circuit debugging (ICD). A temperature controller application board TEMCON2 uses most of the available I/O, matching the PIC selected to the application fairly closely. The 8k memory is sufficient for most application programs that might be developed for this hardware. A demonstration program is provided for controlling temperature, such as a greenhouse, where the temperature must be kept within set limits (0–500C). The unit will be programmed to accept a maximum and minimum temperature, or a set temperature and operating range. The system will operate on the average temperature reading from four sensors, to give a more accurate representation of the overall temperature.
