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 ...

PIC Waveform Recorder

In this article I’ll show you how you can use PIC microcontroller to record and store waveform patterns in its EEPROM memory and replay the sequence later. For this purpose we’ll need a signal/waveform generator to produce the signal, PIC ...
