Arduino 7-Segment LED Display MAX7219
MAX7219 is a serial input/output common-cathode display driver. It can interface the microcontroller to 7-segment numeric LED displays, bar-graph displays, dot matrix display or individual LEDs. This IC has some very useful features like built in decoder, multiplex scan circuitry, ...
Raspberry Pi Digital Clock with 16×2 LCD
Raspberry Pi based Digital Clock with 16×2 LCD display is a relatively simple project.It requires only a small set of components and can be completed in less than an hour. Previously I’ve published similar designs based on other popular platforms ...
Interfacing MCP4725 DAC with Arduino
In this post I’ll show you how a 12 bit DAC model MCP4725 can be connected and controlled by Arduino or a compatible board. Similar design based on Raspberry Pi platform can be found at this link . Wire.h and ...
Arduino Photoresistor Relay Control with PCF8591 Module
Relay controlled by light intensity can be implemented using Arduino UNO compatible board. In this case Keyestudio UNO R3 and AD/DA module with PCF8591 chip. Similar simpler design is available here. On this particular module a photoresistor and a potentiometer ...
Digital Voltmeter LED Display
Here is another modification of a digital voltmeter. This time with 7 – Segment LED Display. These circuits seems to be more popular than other designs so I’ve decided to publish another variant. You can find 4 variations of digital voltmeter on ...
Arduino Thermometer LM35
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 ...
Basic PIC Frequency Counter
Here is a Basic PIC Frequency Counter design. For Arduino version click here. It doesn't not attempt to compete with some advance designs and has a very limited frequency range, however it can be used as a starting point to ...
