Small 3-wheel ROBOT with PIC16F84 brain & InfraRed eyes.
Posted on: 29 Mar 2017
General description erberes is a small three wheel robot that avoids obstacles which it senses with its active infrared sensors. Each rear wheel has its own motor, the single front wheel is not powered. The robot steers “like a tank” by rotating the rear wheels in opposite direction. The sensors are built with infrared LEDs […]
Miniature Real-Time Controller using PIC16F84
Posted on: 28 Mar 2017
Introduction The F84 MRTC was my second design of a miniature real-time controller. This version uses PIC16F84 running with a low power X-tal 32,768Hz. The scheduler for 6-channel output was saved in EEPROM. No terminal for serial downloading of the scheduler. It’s suitable for fixed scheduler job. Two AA size battery provides +3V backup for […]
Using Transistor as a Switch
Posted on: 28 Mar 2017
Most of microcontrollers work within 5 volt environment and the I/O port can only handle current up to 20mA; therefore if we want to attach the microcontroller’s I/O port to different voltage level circuit or to drive devices with more than 20mA; we need to use the interface circuit. One of the popular method is […]
SDP3x Series – Differential Pressure Sensors
Posted on: 28 Mar 2017
The SDP3x is the world’s smallest differential pressure sensor. It measures just 5 mm x 8 mm x 5 mm, opening up new dimensions of integration and application possibilities. The senor is based on the next generation of the CMOSens® sensor chip and is the heart of Sensirion’s new sensor platform for measuring differential pressure […]
