Digital Alarm Clock
Digital Alarm Clock design based on PIC16F876A will be demonstrated in this post. Various modules from earlier project were implemented in current design hardware and source code. For example it uses the same 7-Segment Display and multiplexing routing as in ...
7-Segment Display Counter with Arduino
Recently I’ve published a basic Binary to Hexadecimal converter design based on Atmega 2560 chip. The same set up can be used for building a simple UP/Down counter with Arduino Mega compatible board. 7-Segment display and its I/O stayed the same ...
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 ...
Arduino PWM Fan Controller
This implementation of Arduino based PWM Fan Controller is simple circuit that allows controlling fan speed by varying the duty cycle of the output signal. For PIC16F684 version click here. I’ve tested with Deepcool 120mm fan and it works OK, ...
Interfacing VFD with PIC Microcontroller
Vacuum fluorescent display can be a good alternative to a Liquid-crystal displays in some applications. They have a number of advantages over LCD like extended temperature range and excellent contrast in high brightness environment. The main disadvantage is higher power consumption ...
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 ...
Humidity and Temperature Sensor DHT11 with Arduino
