Build this microcontroller controlled rainbow flying disc – and then throw it!

Hello all and welcome to this super simple and inexpensive instructable. If you like throwing frisbeesΒ AND you likeΒ flashing lightsΒ AND you like night time – then this instructable is for you! Have you ever waved a light or torch around and found that it ‘draws’ lines in the air? What if that light was changing colour […]

BATTERY CHARACTERIZER using PIC18F252

BATTERY CHARACTERIZER using PIC18F252

Introduction This circuit is a battery characterizer that applies a fixed load to a charged NiCad or NiMH cell and measures milliamp-hour capacity as it discharges. There is no single load that can be applied to a battery to measure milliamp-hours. It depends on the battery type, it’s intended application, etc. This device is simply […]

Determine capacitance by measuring the charging time using PIC16F688

When TEST botton is pressed, RA3 pin is set to “1”. R2 and R3 are divide the voltage to 1/2 Vra3 which is connected to RA2 pin to be a Vref for comparator. The C undertest is charging and the timer is start. When the voltage of C undertest is more than 1/2 or above […]

PIC 12F675 Programmable 12V Battery Monitor schematic

PIC 12F675 Programmable 12V Battery Monitor

Being an active outdoor guy, I have a few different types of 12V lights and a variety of battery types. – For flying RC planes and quadcopters at night, we use sealed lead acid batteries to power our club tables. – For fishing, I have a few 12V 2W led lights, powered by 2200mA, 3 […]

RGB LED PWM Driver1

RGB LED PWM Driver for High Power 350mA LEDs using PIC12F629

Description This project combines a PIC and three constant current ‘buck’ converters to produceΒ an RGB LED controller that will operate with the the high power 350mA LEDs using PWM to control the LED brightness.Β  By driving the red, green and blue LEDs with varying pulse widths the controller can generate up to 16 million coloursΒ using […]

Voice Activated Power Sockets Home Automation

Voice Activated Power Sockets (Home Automation)

Yet another voice controlled home automation system! As shown in the picture, the system can control any electrical appliance, by turning ON or OFF, that is connected into the electrical socket. The system does this using bespoke voice commands. The system uses a micro-controller board (PIC or Arduino) and a PC/Laptop with the Microsoft Windows […]
