Electrical accidents are rapidly increasing especially electric line repairs incident due to the lack of communication and coordination between the maintenance personnel and the electric substation staff. The password based circuit breaker device could just be the solution as only the lineman could reliably control the circuit breaker to avoid miscommunication. The system requires a […]

Expanding on previous research into electronic devices that dissolve in water once they have reached the end of their useful life, researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new type of “transient” electronic device that self-destructs in response to heat exposure. The work is aimed at making it easy for materials from devices […]

The new PIC18F2550 Project Board was designed as the development platform for student projects. The board features MCU: PIC18F2550 with external xtal, ADC: one channel 0-2.5V sigma-delta converter, Linear Technology LTC2400/LTC2420, 6-channal 10-bit ADC 0-5V, Display: Two connectors for text LCD or GLCD, USB: onchip USB port with type B connector, Power supply: onboard low […]

Electrical The main components of the electrical system were the timing system and the LED control system for 40 LEDs using a single PIC. A schematic of the system is shown below (click for larger view): timing In order to time the display properly to achieve persistence of vision, the PIC needs to record the […]

sing simple wires to measure signals with the oscilloscope would result in unreadable plots on the scope, the main reason being the noise coupled onto the “probe” itself. The first line of defense against that would be to use a coaxial cable as a probe, which would prevent external noise coupling. 1. Introduction An unwanted […]

Simple expansion board for 8051SBC provides easy USB port and graphic LCD interface. I am planning to design the x86 board for some of my application that needs more computing capability. One of the features that I need to add to the x86 board is the USB port. I found the ASIC that enables 8-bit […]

The I²C full master MSSP module is available with a number of PIC MCU models. mikroC PRO for PIC provides library which supports the master I²C mode.   Important : Some MCUs have multiple I²C modules. In order to use the desired I²C library routine, simply change the number 1 in the prototype with the […]

Always the right time and date with DCF77 This project make use of a PIC16F628(A) and a DCF77 receiver from Conrad (Orderno. 64 11 38) Optional there is a possibility to connect an electronic gong on it. Click for information about DCF77 on the link underneath: The working from the DCF77 time signal Connect the output from the […]

Now even you can afford the best, what´s available on the field of soldering and service. A fact, that we also try to transform better purchasing conditions on You – our customers, we´ve already mentioned to you few times in our articles. This time we have this pleasant occasion to make so at soldering equipment […]

The ‘One Chip Spinning RGB POV Display’ with conversion software. If you have been on the look out for a project that combines, RGB LED’s, a motor, a microcontroller and a ridiculous amount of hot melt glue, then you have certainly come to the right place. Allow me to introduce the ‘One Chip’ Spinning RGB […]
