128×64 LCD Display
A few weeks ago I’ve uploaded post with relatively simple assembly code example for interfacing 2x16 LCD display with PIC16F microcontrollers. Driving Graphic LCD display is more complex task as it lacks the build in character generation unit so each pixel needs to ...
Response Time Meter
If you ever thought how fast you can react to external stimulus here is the circuit that can measure your response time. It measures the time it takes for you to press the push button in response to turning the ...
Arduino Thermometer LM35
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 ...
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 ...
Binary to Hex 7-Segment Arduino
In this post I’ll show you how to build a simple Binary to Hexadecimal converter using common cathode 7-Segment display and Arduino Mega compatible Iduino Mega R3 board. Similar devices should also work ,however I did not test it. The ...
LED Blinking STM32L011K4
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 ...
High Power LED Controller
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 ...
9 Volt Battery Charger
9 Volt batteries extensively used in various electronics measurement equipment. Powering these devices with rechargeable batteries can be a cost effective solution. In this post a simple Lithium-ion 9 Volt Battery Charger design with overcharging protection will be presented. Charger is ...
PIC16F877A Digital Clock
This is PIC16F877A microcontroller based digital clock with 7-Segment display. For this project LTC3710HR was used, however the schematic can be easily adjusted to incorporate larger displays.LTC3710HR is 0.3 inch quadruple digit multiplex common cathode display.Main consideration for choosing the display ...
Digitally Controlled Power Supply 2
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 ...
