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 ...

Solar power mobile charger can be built by tweaking digital power supply schematic. The Software/Hardware stayed almost the same as the original circuit.Current design has the same overcurrent protection and output voltage can be changed by pressing SW1. Voltage and Current ...

A simple light sensor can be built using a photoresistor and Arduino UNO board. Similar design is available here. This design requires only a few additional components like 10k resistor and a 10k potentiometer to adjust the light intensity level ...

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 ...

In this short tutorial we’ll learn how to control PCF8591 I2C 8-bit A/D and D/A converter with PIC microcontroller. PCF8591 was already used in a number of recently published projects like Function Generator, also I’m planning to add it to ...

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 ...

Generating sound patterns with Arduino is a topic of this article. All you need is Arduino compatible board a simple DC buzzer and current limiting resistor. In this project I'll show how to build a police siren using Arduino Mega ...

The topic of this post is building sine wave generator based on Arduino UNO and PCF8591 8-bit A/D and D/A converter. For similar design with PIC micro-controller look at this link. Raspberry Pi version based on MCP4725 DAC available at ...

Here is another fan controller design based on PIC microcontroller, this time it's temperature controlled and can be used to monitor Hard Drive temperature and adjust the fan speed accordingly or as a case fan controller. This post following recently ...

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 ...
