Sine Wave with MCP4725 and Rasperry Pi
Generating Sine wave is a relatively simple task. It can be done by adding MCP4725 12bit DAC to Raspberry Pi. For Arduino version based on PCF8591 IC click this link. This setup is based on I2C interface and works by ...
Digital Clock with LCD Shield Board for Arduino
Arduino clock can be implemented by using LCD Shield Board for Arduino. This shield can simplify the prototyping process of many Arduino based circuits. It incorporates a 16x2 display and a basic 6 buttons keypad thus removing the need for ...
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 ...
7-Segment LED Display PCF8574 I2C Arduino
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 ...
Arduino Ohm Meter
Arduino Ohm Meter is one of the simplest circuits that can be built with minimal number of required components. As can be seen from design schematic a standard 2x16 LCD display and 3 resistors are all you need to complete ...
7-Segment LED Display with I2C
In this post we’ll add a serial data transfer capability to a standard 7-Segment LED Display by using PCF8574 I/O Port expander IC with I2C interface.For similar design based on Arduino see this link. Usually in order to minimize required ...
LED Battery Level Indicator Arduino
LED Battery Level Indicator can be built using Arduino UNO board and 10 LEDs. Similar design that uses 2x16 LCD display can be found at this link. RGB LED variant is here. For Raspberry Pi version click here. I/O lines ...
PIC16F877A Digital Clock
This is PIC16F877A microcontroller based digital clock with 7-Segment display. For this project LTC3710HR was used, however the schematic can be easily adjusted to incorporate larger displays.LTC3710HR is 0.3 inch quadruple digit multiplex common cathode display.Main consideration for choosing the display ...
Blinking LED with PIC16F684
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 ...
