Power Pic RGB with voltage controlis a circuit that generates many colors using a RGB LED and those colors can be changed using two independent voltages, supplied by some external device, in order to select the color (Hue) and its intensity (Value)! The idea originally came from Artur Grycuk who wanted to interface his Theremin Music […]

Quick Key Adapter, 10 Button HID Keyboard This Instructable covers creating a USB connected Human Interface Device Keyboard that has 10 button inputs which are mapped to key combinations in the firmware. Key combinations can be quickly accessed without using the keyboard which may be inconvenient to use. Such as with a MAME or similar machine where the keyboard may be stored or inaccessible or certain

Augmenting a Microcontroller Microcontrollers (MCUs) are fantastic little ICs that give an extra element of versatility to your electronics, robotics or other project. But they’re really not much use on their own. To function, all MCUs need some sort of support components, and a board to live on — one example of course being the

Use a PIC Microcontroller to Control a Hobby Servo This instructable describes how to integrate hobby servos (the kind used in RC planes, cars, etc.) into your microcontroller projects. How Servos are Different from Regular Motors In a regular DC motor, the amount of torque the motor exerts on the shaft is proportional to the

Simple JDM PIC Programmer I have built this project to burn my small PIC’s This is a serial programmer works on the RS232 ( PC serial port ), known as JDM Programmer, thanks to the site http://pic16f84.hit.bg/ which contains the schematic and the programmer software. The programmer is powered from the Serial port itself, so

Introduction The purpose of this project is to implement high bandwidth low latency SPI communication between the PIC32 and a target module, which in this case is the OV7670 camera. The solution implemented in this project is derivative from a need to read data from the target at a higher rate than that of which the PIC32

Introduction For our final project, we created two demonstrations utilizing direct memory access (DMA) in a graphics setting. Our original intent was to implement the video game DOOM on the PIC32, however that proved to be an undertaking too large given the time constraints of the project. Our preliminary exploration of implementing DOOM on the

Introduction and High-Level Design When we were brainstorming ideas, each one of us had different interests. Max wanted to do an audio-related project as he is working for McIntosh, a company that designs and manufactures handcrafted legendary home audio systems. Ben wanted to make something that would be highly visually appealing. Alek wanted to take
For our project, we designed and built a remote control tank, which uses a modified motorized nerf gun as its firing mechanism, an ultrasonic sensor in order to sense objects in its surroundings, and a bluetooth module which allows the user to control the tanks movement and firing mechanism with either our cell phone or
