Microchip's PIC12LF1840T48A is the first in a family of single-chip devices that integrate an eXtreme Low Power (XLP), 8-bit PIC® microcontroller with a sub-GHz RF transmitter. The PIC12LF1840T48A’s combination of features in a single, 14-pin TSSOP package makes it ideal for space-, power- and cost-constrained applications, such as remote keyless entry fobs for automobiles, garage doors and home security systems, as well as a broad range of other home and building automation systems. Additionally, the device is optimized to run Microchip’s royalty-free KEELOQ® advanced code-hopping technology, a proven security technology used worldwide by leading manufacturers.

Have you ever thought that most of our perception about the robot is based on the Hollywood movie! The well-known 3CPO and R2D2 from Star Wars until the little cute garbage compacting robot named WALL-E; all of these machines are example of our dreams or should I say our quest to what we all think about the robot should be. Although the robot that we are going to build here is still far away from the technologies shown on those movies but at least it will give you an introductory to the robotics world. for more information please visit www.ermicro.com/blog/?p=983
Microchip Technology's RE46C165/6/7/8 photo smoke-detector ICs make it easy to quickly determine which detector in an interconnected loop triggered an alarm. The ICs’ low energy use enables smoke detectors with a battery life of 10 years, and an interconnect filter enables a connection to other devices, such as CO detectors.
Microchip Technology's Power-Line Modem (PLM) PICtail™ Plus Daughter Board Development Kit (part # AC164142) enables customers to easily develop and field power-line communication in their products.
Microchip Technology's PIC32 “MX1” and “MX2” MCUs are the smallest and lowest-cost PIC32 microcontrollers, and are the first PIC32s to feature dedicated audio and capacitive-sensing peripherals.

I originally used this keyboard many years ago with a UNIX computer. Recently I dug it out and added a PICAXE microcontroller to use it to change the messages on the Green LED Clock.
As the electronics hobbyist one of knowledge that we have to be familiar with is how to make our own printed circuit board (PCB). Making our own simple single side PCB actually is not require a sophisticated technique and technology as you might think, instead most of the required materials is already available at your home.

Microchip Technology's PIC18F66K80 8-bit CAN microcontrollers (MCUs) feature1.8 – 5.5V operation and eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology, for the industry’s lowest sleep current consumption of less than 20 nA. The MCUs feature an on-chip 12-bit Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) and a peripheral that enables mTouch™ capacitive touch-sensing user interfaces. They are ideal for applications in the automotive (e.g. body control modules, automotive lighting, door/seat/steering/window control, HVAC control), industrial (e.g. security systems, elevators and escalators) and medical (e.g. glucose meters, patient-monitoring devices) markets.
Microchip announced a new family of PIC32MX1/2 microcontrollers (MCUs) in 256/64 KB Flash/Ram configurations. These new MCUs are coupled with comprehensive software and tools from Microchip for designs in digital audio with Bluetooth®, USB audio, graphics, touch sensing and general-purpose embedded control.

With only 35 instructions to learn the Microchip PIC microcontroller assembler language is considered very efficient and easy to learn; you will not find such as Atmel AVR microcontroller CP (compare) and BRNE (branch if not equal) or BRGE (branch if greater or equal) on the PIC microcontroller assembler language dialect, instead it’s just provide us with a very simple bit test and skip one line instruction.

Microchip announced an expansion of its 8-bit PIC® microcontroller (MCU) portfolio, with the peripheral-rich, low pin count PIC16(L)F161X family. These new MCUs expand the offering of Microchip’s Core Independent Peripherals (CIP), which offload timing-critical and core-intensive tasks from the CPU, allowing it to focus on other application tasks. Additionally, this family integrates fault-detecting hardware features to assist engineers in developing safety-critical applications. For more info, visit: www.microchip.com/get/VLDM
Talks and performances by people doing strange things with electricity
Fri 23 March 2012, 6.30-10pm with interval at the Showroom Cinema, Sheffield.
Dorkbot is a meeting of people interested in electric/electronic art in the broadest sense; robotics, kinetic art, microcontrollers, interactive art, algorithmic music, net.art... The only real conditions are that it is a bit strange and involves electricity in some way. It is really defined by whoever turns up, be it engineers who want to be artists, artists who want to be engineers, or the otherwise confused.
This MEGADORK event features a cabaret of talks and performances from among the UK's dorkiest, to entertain and amaze:
Paul Granjon - A strange performance from the world renowned self-styled robot artist.
Patrick Tresset - Talks about his drawing robot Paul (on show as part of the Alan Turing: Intuition and Ingenuity exhibition).
Daniel Jones and James Bulley - talking about generating live music from patterns of weather.
www.variable4.org.uk/about/intro
Sarah and Jenny Angliss - playing robot music from past futures.
spacedog.biz
Sergi Jorda - talks about the Reactable tangible tabletop music playground (which you'll be able to try out at the Central Library Saturday 24 March)
Dan Stowell - Demonstrates his use of the Risset illusion in techno music.
Silicone Bake - Live coded pop songs about love, death and counterfeit watches, where all lyrics are taken from spam emails.
Megadork is curated by Alex McLean.
Dorkbot started in New York, spread to London, and now dozens of cities around the world, including several active UK chapters; Sheffield, Bristol, Anglia, Newcastle, Cardiff and Alba (Scotland). Find out more at: www.dorkbot.org

A Switec X27-168 stepper motor wired up to the Arduino. The pointer was moving when I took the photo, hence the blur. The motor's windings only consume about 20mA, so it's safe to drive directly from the pins of an AVR microcontroller -- although it does need protection diodes.
There's a software library to drive this type of motor, called Gaugette: github.com/clearwater/gaugette
