LM75A is a digital temperature sensor with built in analog to digital converter and I2C interface .It can provide an accurate temperature reading from -55 to +125 C. For similar design based on analog LM35 sensor click here. Also a ...

Here is a modified and improved electronic lock design. For Arduino version click here.It is largely based on Digital Lock article, however this time a real electronic lock was used instead of a solenoid. The code is a 4 digit number ...

In this article I’ll demonstrate a digital stopwatch design based on PIC16F876A micro controller.For related circuit based on Arduino click here. Similar project showing a Digital Timer design can be found here. Current circuit can be used to count in ...

8x8 LED Matrix chaser based on Arduino MEGA compatible board will be presented in this post. It uses a LED dot matrix display module with two 74HC595 shift register chips connected in serial to control the LED output. Similar design ...

Using HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor with Raspberry Pi is a relatively easy task. HC-SR04 is a very popular module that can provide the distance to the object by sending ultrasonic bursts at 40kHz and measuring the time it takes for the ...

Light emitting diode (LED) Controller was built using PIC microcontroller and LM317 regulator. Comparing to traditional light sources led illumination should provide more efficient lighting also giving you a possibility to choose desired wavelength. 48 white diffused LEDs connected in parallel ...

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 short tutorial we’ll learn how to control PCF8591 I2C 8-bit A/D and D/A converter with PIC microcontroller. PCF8591 was already used in a number of recently published projects like Function Generator, also I’m planning to add it to ...

This very simple design shows how to make a blinking LED using PIC16F684 MCU. In my previous post I’ve used PIC16F877/86 however most of basic circuits do not require a lot of I/O pins and PIC16F684 small 14 pin package is more ...

Digital Timer can be built by using PIC16F876A micro-controller and a few additional components. The schematic is similar to Fan Speed Monitor Design. 3x4 Keypad and 5V Relay were added as you can see from figure below. Only three 7-Segments ...
