Following recently published article about building a PWM Fan Controller here is another simple controller design. This time it’s a 2 Channel PC Fan Controller for standard 12V Fans. It uses software implementation of PWM but instead of directly driving PWM ...

This post is about building a simple 0-5V 3 digit voltmeter using Arduino UNO compatible board and 4x20 LCD display. This design should also work on all similar boards, I’ve tested it on Arduino Mega and UNO boards.  No additional ...

In this post I'll show you how two QDSP-L149 5x7 dot matrix  LED Displays can be used to create a  4 Digit display module. The trick is to change  the roles of rows and columns. So now each 5x7 Dot ...

In this article I’m going to show you how an 8x8 LED Dot Matrix Display can be driven by MAX7219 with Arduino.There are 2 similar designs. PIC16F876 version is  available at this link ,for circuit based on 74HC595 click here.For this project ...

The topic of this post is building sine wave generator based on Arduino UNO and PCF8591 8-bit A/D and D/A converter. For similar design with PIC micro-controller look at this link. Raspberry Pi version based on MCP4725 DAC available at ...

Wireless Infrared UART prototype can be built by using two PIC16F876A controllers. One as IR receiver with dedicated Infrared decoder like SFH505A, SFH506 or similar IR receiver IC and other microcontroller as a transmitter via IR LEDs. This is relatively simple ...

LM35 is a temperature sensor that outputs a voltage proportional to the surrounding temperature in centigrade. In this post I’ll show how this device can be connected to Arduino MEGA board to build a thermometer that shows the current temperature ...

Here is another fan controller design based on PIC microcontroller, this time it's temperature controlled and can be used to monitor Hard Drive temperature and adjust the fan speed accordingly or as a case fan controller. This post following recently ...

Measuring current is a relatively simple task that can be done by connecting a shunt resistor in series with the load and measuring the voltage on this resistor. The voltage is proportional to a load current according to Ohm’s law ...

This is a modified version of basic wave generator design with AD9850 and Microchip PIC16F microcontroller. A relatively simple assembly code available for download at the bottom of the page. Instead of using a rotary encoder as many other similar available ...
