Future 8 Ball brings to life an effortless design solution that promotes 8-bit PIC® microcontrollers, low-power analog, temperature sensors and OLED displays. In addition, the MikroBus interface gives developers an opportunity to select from hundreds of click boards for their applications. The board allows developers of all skill levels to easily bring their ideas to life and Microchip’s free MPLAB ecosystem completes the ease of developing with Future 8 Ball.

We’re going to be using Future’s 8 Ball. It was developed using Microchip’s PIC16F18446 Curiosity Nano (for more information about the 8 Ball, click the links

We’re also going to need a MikroElektronika Fan Click board featuring Microchip’s EMC2301 controller for powering and regulating the operation of 5V four-wire fans, and a small BLDC fan.
We’ll be using Microchip’s integrated development environment MPLAB® X IDE along with MPLAB® XC Compiler and MPLAB® Code Configurator; all of which are readily available on the Microchip website .
The small demo that we’ll be doing today is to read the tachometer of the fan and turn on a warning light if the fan stops.
