Arduino 4 Digit LED 7-Segment Countdown Timer based on Arduino MEGA will be shown in this post. For LCD version of this design follow this link. Similar project that uses PIC16F876 MCU can be found at this link. Raspberry Pi version is also available here. Countdown timer will accept 4-digit initial value from 4×3 membrane … Read more
Adding a serial data transfer capability to a 7-Segment LED Display can be done by using PCF8574 I/O Port expander with I2C interface. Arduino UNO controls the PCF8574 by sending display codes for each segment. Similar circuit based on PIC16F876 micro-controller can be found at this link. In this design common cathode display was chosen together … Read more
Interfacing a Thermocouple with Arduino platform can be easily done by integrating a MAX31855 to your project. This IC is a Cold-Junction Compensated Analog to Digital Converter amplifier especially design for use with a Thermocouple. The converter provides 14-Bit of digitized temperature data with 0.25°C resolution and can be used with most of common Thermocouple … Read more
In this post I’ll show how to interface a Keyestudio 40 RGB LED 2812 Pixel Matrix Shield with Arduino UNO compatible board. Each LED on this shield has an integrated chip WS2812 and can be individually controlled. Attached Arduino code makes use of these features making the shield to behave like a simple 7-Segment counter … Read more
Arduino based 3 Digit Timer with LED Display module is a relatively simple design. Recently I’ve published a number of similar projects that essentially perform the same task. You set up an initial value via some kind of user interface like push button or a keypad and the circuit counts down to “000”. The display … Read more
