A team of Michigan State University (MSU) researchers has created a transparent solar concentrator able to turn any window (or other sheet of glass, such as the screen for a smartphone) into a photovoltaic solar cell. What makes this development different? The panel is truly transparent. A new solar cell recently developed by a team […]

Power processing is one of the most important aspects on electronic design. The power is unique for a typical system because it gives the system life. Before starting to make the project for a power supply we need to analyze some aspects: Which kind of radio/electromagnetic interference is the device going to face ? What […]

I promised to post some of my past microcontroller vision projects. This one has a Microchip PIC directly sampling a video signal. 8 pins well used. Collapsible Quadruped Robot with Computer Vision, Laser Ranging, and Servo Control on a Single-Wire Network Photos and video capture by Glenn Currie. Download project design_files_PicVid97.zip. Austin Texas, 1997. I […]

Programming in PIC microcontroller can be done by using assembly language or by using Embedded C because of the ease of writing code.We have used done the programming through Embedded C language.For programming any microcontroller we need a IDE or Intregrated Developement Enviroment. In case of PIC microcontroller the official IDE is MPLAB  Further several third […]

Classic push-button switches are favorite for many decades, maybe also because they´re well known already from the beginnings of electronics. Probably, a nostalgia is not the only reason making them popular, but mainly an easy control, when even an unacquainted person knows, that it´s something “what has to be pushed” to change a status of […]

In this article we will review the basic transistor types and their function. We will cover bipolar transistor, Junction FET, MOSFET and UJT transistor types. Feel free to comment with other transistor types you know. Bipolar Transistor   Bipolar transistors are three terminal devices and act like electrically controlled switches of as current/voltage amplifiers. They […]

Perhaps this circuit is the simplest programmer for PIC microcontrollers you can build. It is connected to serial port of your PC and it has a very similar design with the SI-Prog programmer for the AVR microcontrollers. With the help of adaptors you can extend the possibilities and program more PIC microcontrollers. Notes By default […]

An automatic temperature control system has the ability to monitor and control the temperature of a specified space without human intervention. The primary purpose is to manage the temperature of a given area based on settings by a user of the system. This project uses a PIC microcontroller to automatically control the temperature of an […]

PyroEDU began in 2012 with the mission of offering free online courses teaching the fundamentals of electrical engineering in an approachable and entertaining manner. Rather than studying textbooks and advanced mathematics, students are taught using a learn-by-doing approach that follows four basic steps: introduce the topic, explain the theory, build an experiment to demonstrate the […]

This reference design is a simple ultrasonic atomizer that helps fight against respiratory diseases. Atomizer is like nebulizer, it is just that nebulizer takes time to deliver liquid to mist. However, both undergo almost the same process. This medical ultrasonic atomizer circuit is composed of power supply circuit, ultrasonic oscillator and atomizer circuit. It specifically […]
