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 ...
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 Lock
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 ...
Fading LED with PCF8591 Arduino I2C
Controlling LED brightness with Arduino is one of the basic circuits you can built. Fade sketch is even included in the basic examples in the Arduino IDE. However on Arduino boards it’s done by pulse width modulation, changing the duty ...
Kinetic Watch Winder
In this post I’ll show how to build a basic kinetic watch winder using PIC microcontroller and stepper motor. Kinetic watches do not require changing the battery as frequently as in quartz watch however despite their many advantages they have ...
Fan Speed Monitor
Fan Speed Monitor is another simple design based on PIC16F876A microcontroller. Two similar posts about ways of controlling and monitoring fan speed were recently published. PWM Fan Controller and 2 Channel PC Fan Controller. Current article however implements a different ...
10Bit 7-Segment Digital Voltmeter 0-24V
This is an upgrade to recently published Simple Digital Voltmeter.Few improvements were done to hardware and software.DVM operating range was slightly increased up to 24 V Max, however the most significant change is that the code now uses full 10 bit of ...
