Intro: Adaptable 24vDC/220vAC Pure Sinewave Inverter
Here is a very simple pure sinewave inverter based on the microntoller "PIC 16F628A", "don't freak out !", NO it is not difficult to use microntollers, actually it could not be
any easier than this.

For those wondering, Yes I myself designed the circuit schematic and components but had to hire a programmer to write the code since I have no idea how to write
software programming, I even paid him money to do this job since no one works for free these days, probably if he see this instructable he would be laughing at me on
how I gave everything for free here :-/

The principal used for creating the sinewave:

Most hard work in this circuit is done by the 16F628A chip itself, where it divides the half wave into small segments with PWM train of pulses as shown in the pic then
they go to get amplified by the 4 transistors Q1,Q2,Q3 and Q4 where they feed the power stage to drive the power transistors.

There are 2 options to program the 16F628A:

1- Most of the electronic parts selling shops do this service for you for an additional 3$ cost, where you take the program which is a "Inverter.HEX" file in our case, written
on a disk to the shop and they will hand you an already programed 16F628A.

2- If you're an electronic hobbiest I suggest you buy your own programing device (I bought mine for 22$) and experiment with it because the microcontroller applications
that can be built are endless. I bought the cheapest / smallest USB one which is a DIY K128 it came along with a CD containing the MicroBurn software "older versions
known as MicroPro" and a driver for your computer, after setting up the driver and operating the thing, it programed the 16F628A IC in 10 seconds !
Here is a link to see how the programmer looks like.

The filter:
The 2.2 uF capacitor which is the filter is a very very important part of this design, without it you'll never get a pure sine wave.
I have included 2 screen shots of the oscilloscope (with-filter and without-filter) so you can see the difference and importance of this capacitor.

Other notes:
- Included is the movie file "IMG_0690.MOV" in case you encounter any problem and need to see the wave form on pins 11 and 12 of the 16F628A how it looks like.

- The PIC16F628A is so sesitive to static, if you're sitting on a plastic chair never touch the IC's pins with your hand.

- You can build bigger versions of this inverter up to 5000w, to see what needs to be done on the power stage please see details on my other instructable here .

Finaly:
Do not forget to rate this instructbale with 5 stars "of course if you like it and appreciate the effort done" and also click the "follow me" button to keep updated of future
instructables and updates that I do.

Any suggestions, help in coding or design on this project are very welcomed so we make it even better.
