Knight Rider Light computer – version 2
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
This knight rider light computer is a successor of my first version of the Knight Rider. This version is much smaller and justifies the use of a microcontroller. The project is based on the PIC 12F629 microcontroller. The hardware part Unlike my previous project this light computer is build around the PIC12F629: a microcontroller with […]
Writing a python module to simulate a LCD
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
So recently I got a Raspberry pi and a 16×2 character LCD screen , I thought , lets make a simple game that can be played on the lcd. my first instinct was to code directly for the lcd on the pi , but as I started coding I realized that the clutter of having […]
RGB REMOTE (pinguino+web+linksys) using PIC18F2550 microcontroller
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
RGB REMOTE (pinguino+web+linksys) This project has several uses, it is basically a way to control an RGB LED group (tricolor with common ground) via a web page to select which color we want to show. It may be a way to harmonize a room, change the color of a swimming pool or just fooling aroun […]
Cheap PIC Programmer
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
This programmer works only with PIC16F84 but it’s great because it never causes errors and works with almost all computers,unlike some other homemade programmers. Step 1: Step one : Materials For this programmer you won’t need many materials.In fact , you will find all you need in your local electronics shop 😉 So here’s what […]
App note: Eliminate noise through proper supply bypass filtering
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
If sensitive analog systems are run from one supply without the sufficient bypassing to eliminate noise, undesired degradation in a system’s performance will result. This application note provides insight into suitable techniques to overcome this roadblock. For more detail: App note: Eliminate noise through proper supply bypass filtering
A four channel remote control using EnOcean Pi
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
In my last couple of blog posts, I did a brief overview of the EnOcean Pi sensor kit from Newark and demonstrated how to compile and run the example code using a Raspberry Pi. In this blog post, I will show a real world example – a four-channel remote control built using the EnOcean Pi […]
Self-organizing Kilobots
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
Following simple programmed rules, autonomous robots arrange themselves into vast, complex shapes Cambridge, Mass. – August 14, 2014 – The first thousand-robot flash mob has assembled at Harvard University. “Form a sea star shape,” directs a computer scientist, sending the command to 1,024 little bots simultaneously via an infrared light. The robots begin to blink […]
Microcontroller controlled Home Entertainment System
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
This Instructable will take you on my journey to replace my old Netflix/Vudu Bluray player with a PC based entertainment station for my LCD projector. I wanted to be able to access and control Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, Crackle, NBC, ABC, and the Weather Channel using only a simple remote control. Along the way, I’ll give […]
Study Finds a Way to Prevent Fires in Next-Generation Lithium Batteries
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
Menlo Park, Calif. — In a study that could improve the safety of next-generation batteries, researchers discovered that adding two chemicals to the electrolyte of a lithium metal battery prevents the formation of dendrites – “fingers” of lithium that pierce the barrier between the battery’s halves, causing it to short out, overheat and sometimes burst […]
Try to go easier way
Posted on: 09 Oct 2017
Embedded modules may surprise you by their contribution and an overall costs savings. As we know „embedded module“ is a quite wide term and it can represent a powerful microcomputer with OS, but it can also be a significantly simpler module with a microcontroller and peripherals, still able to add considerable functionality to a target […]
