Passive Infrared Detector Circuit
Posted on: 17 Oct 2016
The infrared (IR) is invisible radiant energy, electromagnetic radiation that we cannot see with our eyes, but we can sometimes feel on our skin as heat. The infrared light falls just outside the visible spectrum, beyond the edge of what we can see as red. Most of the thermal radiation emitted by objects near room […]
TechBot line following robot using PIC16F84
Posted on: 17 Oct 2016
Design Goal: The TechBot1 is a small line following robot designed for for the 1998 Embedded Systems conference in San Jose California. It was built by Jerry Merrill and myself and was designed as a promotional robot that would follow a black line drawn on a dry erase board. Motive Power: The TechBot1 uses […]
UART Communication using PIC Code
Posted on: 16 Oct 2016
The UART hardware module is available with a number of PIC compliant MCUs. The mikroC PRO for PIC UART Library provides comfortable work with the Asynchronous (full duplex) mode. You can easily communicate with other devices via RS-232 protocol (for example with PC, see the figure at the end of the topic – RS-232 HW […]
Find the right solder for you
Posted on: 16 Oct 2016
The solder matters, it is an undisputable fact confirmed daily in a development and production of electronics. Hand soldering of prototypes, automated machine soldering, soldering of small SMT components or on the in contrast soldering of big joints of massive connectors, rework, … all that wants a solder optimized for a given usage. As we […]
Transient Voltage Suppressors
Posted on: 16 Oct 2016
Voltage suppressors are used to protect circuits from unwanted transients, when other devices like diodes and capacitors fail to do so. Transient effects have various sources and are able to damage the connected parts and ICs if not properly measures taken. In this article we will discuss about the various transient voltage suppressors and their […]
Extending Battery Life in Wearable Designs
Posted on: 16 Oct 2016
The wearables market is booming. Statistics aggregator web portal Statista, notes that the global market will be worth over $7 billion this year and $12.6 billion by 2018. Although the potential rewards are high, this is not an easy market to enter. Designing smart watches or fitness bracelets is tough; consumers expect lots of functionality, […]
Connect Ethernet controller with PIC Code
Posted on: 15 Oct 2016
The ENC28J60 is a stand-alone Ethernet controller with an industry standard Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI). It is designed to serve as an Ethernet network interface for any controller equipped with SPI. The ENC28J60 meets all of the IEEE 802.3 specifications. It incorporates a number of packet filtering schemes to limit incoming packets. It also provides […]
Safe DC/DC Converter up to 1.5 A
Posted on: 15 Oct 2016
The design of the circuit is a DC to DC converter. It supports up to 1.5A on VCORE. It features a DC/DC converter that provides power to MCUs. It also deals with the optimization of energy consumption by using DC/DC linear regulators and ultra-low-power saving modes. The model contains a Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI), an […]
PIC24 Bedside Table Alarm Clock
Posted on: 15 Oct 2016
Another year, another clock, but for the first time for my alarm clocks [1][2][3] I am not using an MSP430 but a PIC24 instead. Standby current is with 5.5 µA only slightly higher than that of my MSP430 based ones. Time keeping is done using the RTCC pheripheral, which I also used for the first […]
Would you also like to locate a fault within few seconds?
Posted on: 15 Oct 2016
Thermal imaging cameras find their place in many industrial segments also because they´re still more affordable. At the same time, top-class full-featured IR cameras are available in a midle price level. This is also a case of FLIR E6 and E60 cameras. Flir E6 Advanced camera with a big 3″ display, 160×120 px (IR) + […]
