Digital Voltmeter VFD Display
This is a new revision of 10 bit Digital Voltmeter. For Arduino based voltmeter click here. Recently I’ve published a few voltmeter designs ranging from a simple LED display voltmeters with 8 bit of resolution to a more complex with 10bit ...
3.5 Digit Dot Matrix LED Display
In this post I'll show you how two QDSP-L149 5x7 dot matrix LED Displays can be used to create a 4 Digit display module. The trick is to change the roles of rows and columns. So now each 5x7 Dot ...
Controlling PWM Fan with PIC16F684
In this post I’d like to share a design of PWM Fan controller based on PIC16F684 MCU. For Arduino version click here. Previously I’ve designed similar circuits some of them more complex than this one. I recommend you to look ...
Serial LCD Interface I2C
Interfacing LCD Display with serial Interface like I2C can save microcontroller I/O making it a practical alternative to a standard parallel 8 bit interface. We’ll use PCF8574 I2C port expander and PIC16F876A microcontroller to establish IIC communication by 2 lines, ...
Power Supply 2.5 – 12 V
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 ...
Simple Digital Voltmeter
Simple digital voltmeter can be built by using PIC microcontroller and a few discrete components. PIC16F877A 10 bit ADC module was used for this purpose, we’ll work only with 8 upper bits to translate input voltage to digital form and ...
7-Segment Display with SPI PIC16F876A
For this project two PIC16F877 MCU's were used, see project schematics below. Slave PIC runs LEDs decoding and multiplexing code on data received from Master. 7-Segment inputs connected to PORTC,B and common digits anodes to PORTB,A via 2N3906 collectors for ...
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 ...
PIC16F Development Board
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 ...
Alphanumeric Display Driver
In this post I’ll show how a single alphanumeric display can be driven by PIC16f877A micro controller. There are dedicated IC’s for this purpose however a micro-controller can be programmed to perform this task. By using a microcontroller you'll get a ...
