Announcement – End of Year : Good Bye 2024
Exciting News - Hold on to Your Hats As this year comes to an end, (Well, already over into the new year) I’ve been thinking about how busy it’s been and how much has been accomplished. It’s been a year full of learning, building, and making progress on so many...
Streamlining MCU Development with POGO Pins
Streamlining Your MCU Designs with POGO Pins What Are POGO Pins? POGO pins, or spring-loaded pins, are small connectors designed for temporary connections. Each pin is made up of a plunger, barrel, and spring mechanism that presses the pin against a contact point....
Embracing the Open Road : Moments Between Here and There
This image of an open road, a single cloud, and endless sky reminds us to slow down, tune into the present moment, and find peace in the vast simplicity of what’s around us.
The Power of Being Intentional in a Messy World
The world we dream of isn’t some distant fantasy—it starts within us, in the small, deliberate choices we make each day. Every act of kindness, every bit of patience, creates ripples that build a lifescape of possibilities for something greater.

Setting Up the PIC10F322 System Clock: Default 8MHz Clock Speed and How to Change It
Understanding and Configuring the PIC10F322 System Clock Speed
Upon reset or power-on, the PIC10F322 microcontroller defaults to a system clock speed of 8MHz. This default setting remains until you modify it in your code.
How to Use PIC10F322 ADC and PWM for LED Brightness Control with XC8
PIC10F322 ADC and PWM for LED Brightness Control - by combining the ADC and PWM features of the PIC10F322, you can create a flexible and efficient method for controlling LED brightness. This guide provides a comprehensive setup and detailed code example, demonstrating how to read an analog input and adjust the PWM duty cycle to control the brightness of an LED. This approach can be expanded to control larger loads with the addition of a transistor, providing even greater versatility for your microcontroller projects.
