RGB LED Bar Graph
Current LED Bar Graph design for Arduino UNO platform uses 16 independently controlled RGB LED’s with integrated WS2812 chip. Similar project is available at this link. In general the voltage is divided into equal intervals equal to the number of ...
LM75A Digital Temperature Sensor Arduino
LM75A is a digital temperature sensor with built in analog to digital converter and I2C interface .It can provide an accurate temperature reading from -55 to +125 C. For similar design based on analog LM35 sensor click here. Also a ...
Waveform Generator using Raspberry Pi
Simple Waveform Generator based on Raspberry Pi and DAC converter MCP4725 is the topic of this post. It can generate 3 types of signals. Sine, Square and Triangular waves. There is also a basic GUI to control its operation. See ...
I2C Serial LCD Interface Module Arduino
In this post I’m going to show you how to use a Serial I2C Interface Module to control 2x16 LCD display with Arduino. For similar design using PIC16F876 click this link. Instead of using 8 or 4 bit parallel connection ...
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 ...
Controlling PWM Fan with PIC16F684
In this post I’d like to share a design of PWM Fan controller based on PIC16F684 MCU. For Arduino version click here. Previously I’ve designed similar circuits some of them more complex than this one. I recommend you to look ...
Multiplexing 7-Segment Display with Raspberry Pi
When working with multiple 7-Segment displays a multiplexing scheme is required in order to simplify the design and save Raspberry Pi I/O pins. Such implementations shown in this design. As can be seen from a schematic diagram 2 7-Segment displays ...
1Hz Clock Generator using PIC16F876
In this article we’ll see how to generate 1 Hz clock with PIC16F876/877 PIC microcontrollers. 3 different approaches will be demonstrated. The most basic solution is to use nested loops to “waste” enough instruction cycle time in order to produce ...
Raspberry Pi LED Bar Graph Display
Raspberry Pi based LED bar graph display is a relatively simple circuit. It can be easily built using commonly available components. For Arduino version click here. 8 LEDs, 1k potentiometer, ADS1015 ADC module and Raspberry Pi board is all you ...
Arduino with 74HC595 and 7-Segment
74HC595 is a discrete shift register IC that can be easily integrated with Arduino platform. Usually shift registers are used to convert a serial data to a parallel output. Additional shift registers can be connected in series extending the number ...
