LCD Alarm Clock
Due to popular demand I've modified digital clock design to work with LCD display instead of 7-Segment LED as described in this post. For Arduino version click here. All the capabilities of LED version have been maintained in current project. 1 ...
Solar Tracking System
This post is about designing a simple PIC microcontroller based Solar Tracking system. It requires some basic electronics skills and good motor coordination. This design uses 2 unipolar stepper motors and 4 IR-850nm LEDs as sensors to follow the sun ...
Arduino with DS3231 Real Time Clock
In this post I’ll show you how to interface a RTC module DS3231 Real Time Clock with Arduino. This particular module uses I2C protocol to transfer current time to a micro controller. DS3231 library and header files should be installed ...
10Bit 7-Segment Digital Voltmeter 0-24V
This is an upgrade to recently published Simple Digital Voltmeter.Few improvements were done to hardware and software.DVM operating range was slightly increased up to 24 V Max, however the most significant change is that the code now uses full 10 bit of ...
