PCF8573P I2C Real Time Clock
In this post I’m going to show you how to interface an I2C Real Time Clock – RTC with PIC microcontroller. Only a basic hardware configuration and a communication protocol are presented here. I’m planning to extend it to a ...
Digital Stopwatch
In this article I’ll demonstrate a digital stopwatch design based on PIC16F876A micro controller.For related circuit based on Arduino click here. Similar project showing a Digital Timer design can be found here. Current circuit can be used to count in ...
Stepper Motor Controller with Arduino
Basic Stepper Motor Controller can be built with Arduino board and a few additional components like MOSFET switches and a potentiometer to control unipolar stepper motor speed and direction. The principle of operation is relatively simple. When a potentiometer is ...
Solar Power Mobile Charger
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 ...
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 ...
Temperature Controlled Fan
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 ...
LCD Alarm Clock
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 ...
Arduino Digital Level MPU-6050
In this post a 1 axis basic digital level design will be presented. This circuit is based on Arduino UNO board and MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope chip. The communication is done using I2C interface. MPU6050 module address can vary depending ...
PCF8591 I2C 8-bit A/D and D/A converter
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 ...
Humidity and Temperature Sensor DHT11 with Arduino
Interfacing Humidity and Temperature Sensor DHT11 with Arduino platform is the topic of this post. I’ve published a number of designs with various temperature sensor, both digital and analog. Here you can see how to use LM75A digital sensor with ...
