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 ...

In this article we’ll see how to generate 1 Hz clock with PIC16F876/877 PIC microcontrollers. 3 different approaches will be demonstrated. The most basic solution is to use nested loops to “waste” enough instruction cycle time in order to produce ...

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 ...

Digitally Controlled Power Supply from 0-14 Volt based on PIC16F876A will be demonstrated in this post. This is a modification of Digital Power Supply 2.5-12V article and has similar characteristics. The most noticeable difference is the use of PCF8591P I2C Digital to ...

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 ...

A simple wave generator should be a part of every electronics enthusiast toolset. Basic Sine/Square output in reasonable frequency range will be sufficient for general use. Luckily such generators are available in form of a very popular AD9850 module.  Search ...

A simple bargraph voltmeter can be built using 2x16 LCD or compatible VFD display. For Arduino version click here. This design utilizes PIC16F877 microcontroller and its ADC block to convert 0 – 5V input voltage to a binary number shown ...

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 ...

Wireless Infrared UART prototype can be built by using two PIC16F876A controllers. One as IR receiver with dedicated Infrared decoder like SFH505A, SFH506 or similar IR receiver IC and other microcontroller as a transmitter via IR LEDs. This is relatively simple ...

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 ...
