In this post I'll show a more general approach for circuits prototyping. Instead of building each individual design to validate its operation why not to design a basic PIC16F877A based Development Board. Current design have all the necessary features of ...

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 ...

Due to popular demand I've modified digital clock design to work with LCD display instead of 7-Segment LED as described in this post. For Arduino version click here. All the capabilities of LED version have been maintained in current project. 1 ...

Basic Frequency Counter with Raspberry Pi can be built in less than 15 minutes and does not require any additional components. The input signal is a square wave with 3v amplitude connected to one of Raspberry I/O pins.Design schematic is ...

Power Supply is probably the most common electronics project you can build.This is a basic design for digital power supply. It was built around 3 main components. Digital potentiometer – MCP4251-502E/P, Low  Dropout Voltage Regulator – MIC29152 and PIC16F877A.The idea ...

Here is a modified and improved electronic lock design. For Arduino version click here.It is largely based on Digital Lock article, however this time a real electronic lock was used instead of a solenoid. The code is a 4 digit number ...

Here is another Arduino based design and this time I’ll show you how a 4-Digit Code Electronic Lock can be built with Arduino Mega or compatible boards. For similar design based on PIC16F877 click this link. The I/O I’ve used ...

Arduino 4 Digit LED 7-Segment Countdown Timer based on Arduino MEGA will be shown in this post.  For LCD version of this design follow this link. Similar project that uses PIC16F876 MCU can be found at this link. Raspberry Pi ...

This is an update to a recent post on a subject of building a Digitally Controlled Power Supply. In part 1 a basic configuration was presented. In this version a numbers of modifications were made to software/hardware to produce a more advanced ...

LM35 is a temperature sensor that outputs a voltage proportional to the surrounding temperature in centigrade. In this post I’ll show how this device can be connected to Arduino MEGA board to build a thermometer that shows the current temperature ...
