Summary of HIGH VOLTAGE INSECT TRAP PIC16F675
This article describes a high-voltage insect trap using a PIC16F675 microcontroller. The system operates in power-saving mode, activating only when solid objects contact the floor cage. It utilizes a low-current DC-DC converter to generate high voltage for incapacitating insects. Key features include capacitor charging with multiple pulses and regulated output monitoring.Parts used in the High Voltage Insect Trap:
- PIC16F675 Microcontroller
- SCR (Silicon Controlled Rectifier)
- Hex Schema
- PCB Drawing Files
- Capacitor C1 (22nF 400V)
- 12V Zener Diode CR4
- Low Current DC-DC Converter
