In this article I’ll show you how you can use PIC microcontroller to record and store waveform patterns in its EEPROM memory and replay the sequence later. For this purpose we’ll need a signal/waveform generator to produce the signal, PIC ...

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 ...

This post is about building a basic distance meter with ultrasonic HC-SR04 sensor and PIC micro controller. For Arduino version click here. Raspberry Pi variant is also available at this link The interface is very simple and does not require too many commands ...

Recently I was asked to build an aquarium lighting controller prototype to provide variable brightness during its operation and ability to program  ON/OFF times. 25 blue and white diffused 10mm LED were used to illuminate the aquarium. The main requirement from ...

Following recently published article about building a PWM Fan Controller here is another simple controller design. This time it’s a 2 Channel PC Fan Controller for standard 12V Fans. It uses software implementation of PWM but instead of directly driving PWM ...

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 ...

In this post a simple Digital Dual Voltmeter and Ampere meter design will be shown. It uses PIC16F876A microcontroller and 2x16 LCD display and has 2 input channels for measuring voltage in 0-25v range and current up to 500mA. The ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
