All my previous project were based on PIC microcontrollers or Arduino board, however recently I’ve been experimenting with STM32 MCU. For this simple project a NUCLEO board based on STM32L011K4 MCU was used. The STM32 Nucleo-32 board provides a simple ...

Digitally Controlled Power Supply from 0-14 Volt based on PIC16F876A will be demonstrated in this post. This is a modification of Digital Power Supply 2.5-12V article and has similar characteristics. The most noticeable difference is the use of PCF8591P I2C Digital to ...

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 ...

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 ...

Arduino based LCD Bargraph Voltmeter can be easily assembled with Arduino Mega 2560/Arduino Uno or compatible boards. Arduino LED battery level indicator is here. Similar design based on Raspberry Pi platform is available at this link. This design is basically ...

This post is about building a simple LED controller circuit. Several articles were published on this subject. Here is just one link to similar design that can be useful. Search the site for more information. Current design  relies on well-known technique to ...

This article shows how to create a fading/dimming effect of the LED using PIC micro-controller. For similar design based on Arduino click this link.Controlling LED brightness using PWM is a relatively simple task and can be accomplished by configuring PIC16F877 ...

This post is about building a 3-digit countdown timer based on Arduino MEGA. Up/Down counter also available at this link. The timer will wait for 3-digit number to be entered via 4x3 keypad and then start counting down to zero ...

In this post I'm going to show you how to build a simple Digital Lock using PIC microcontroller. Instead of building a new hardware design from scratch we are going to use PIC Development Board as a basis for Digital ...

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 ...
