Whac-a-Veggie using PIC18F4550 microcontroller
Posted on: 21 Dec 2016
Whac-a-Veggie For this year’s Trunk ‘O’ Treat game I wanted to make a something fun and exciting for kids to play so I choose a Whac- a-Mole type game called Whac-a-Veggie using the Veggie Tales characters. The Whac-a-Veggie game is played with a foam hammer in your hand and the veggie characters randomly popping-up […]
LED Strobe for PIC12F629 / 675
Posted on: 21 Dec 2016
Description This project functions as a simple strobe for driving an LED. The use of an output transistor allows it to pulse the strobe LED with a current up to 100mA. Four jumpers provide options for changing the pulse width, strobe repeat interval and single or double strobe flash. The programmer ready code has default […]
One step closer to the ‘ultimate battery’
Posted on: 21 Dec 2016
Although scientists are still working toward replacing lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries with lithium-air (Li-air), or lithium-oxygen, batteries, researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a lab-based demonstrator of such a battery. It is safe to say we still have another decade before we can begin to utilize such powerful batteries as scientists work to make […]
Industry’s Most Sensitive MEMS Mic
Posted on: 21 Dec 2016
PORTLAND, Ore. — In its rush to get to market “while the iron is hot,” Vesper Technologies Inc. (Boston) has announced what it still claims is the industry’s highest signal-to-ratio (SNR) for a high-definition (HD) microelectromechanical system (MEMS) microphone, even though it is scaled back to 68dB rather than the astounding 70dB SNR MEMS mic […]

USB Voltmeter using pic microcontoller
Posted on: 20 Dec 2016
USB Voltmeter USB Voltmeter is a PC based dual channel voltmeter built around PIC18F2455 / PIC18F2550 microcontroller that measures voltage from 0.00V up to 500.00V with 10mV resolution. USB Voltmeter sends measured data to PC via standard USB connection displaying data on a computer monitor. USB Voltmeter is self-powered drawing very little current from USB […]
Microcontroller with single LED Project in Proteus
Posted on: 19 Dec 2016
This is a simulation project that shows how to write program in assembly language for PIC16F84A microcontroller that turns on a single LED and use it in Proteus VSM to stimulate the working of the microcontroller controlled LED. To do this start by creating a new project in Proteus, give some name and save it […]
Protecting the Universal Serial Bus from Over Voltage and Overcurrent Threats
Posted on: 19 Dec 2016
This application note addresses the various requirements for protecting the Universal Serial Bus (USB) from overcurrent and over voltage environmental threats.The solutions presented cover both USB 1.1 and the higher speed USB 2.0 circuitry. Specific emphasis is placed on USB 2.0 with infor- mation directed at hot connection over current conditions and electrostatic discharge (ESD) […]
