Adapter for small size PIC AVR chip programming

Adapter for small size PIC/AVR chip programming

This is a homemade adapter I made for programming SOIC/QFN size microchips that I use in my micro airplanes (http://maxoffsky.com/tech-blog/rc-micro-spitfire-airplane-build-log/). I had trouble connecting the chips any other way so I made my own universal adapter. This could also be used to do In-Circuit programming without removing the chip from the PCB. If you want […]

IR Tracking Turret with PIC and C Schematic1

IR Tracking Turret with PIC and C

This is a good learning project that is fun to build – I got a lot out of making it. I think this has been done quite a bit already, but I did not find a straightforward way of doing this with PICs. When I finally got it working, I thought I’d share it. It […]

Red Light

Red Light for Astronomy Observing using PIC12F683

When doing astronomy observing at night preserving night vision is critical. This requires using the minimum amount of light that makes the sky charts readable. What is this minimum level depends on how dark are your surroundings, how much time you have spent in darkness, how well your eyes adapt for night vision, what type […]

Race Start Controller

Scalextric Sport Race Start Controller using PIC16F627A

Overview I developed this after my nephews got a Scalextric Sport slot car racing set for Christmas.  The set included a lap timer and counter but one thing that was missing was a way to start a race.  Having someone say “3-2-1-Go” wasn’t really doing the job, especially as it was easy to go just […]

Development system for PIC and AVR microcontrollers

Development system for PIC and AVR microcontrollers

After testing many systems development for PIC and AVR microcontrollers, none satisfy me. So I created this system with breadboard that has satisfied me. Step 1: More space free In this development system, I put two protoboards turned 180 degrees from each other. The space that is left to just enough space to insert a […]

Breakout board for 18 pin PIC16F series microcontrollers Schematic

Breakout board for 18-pin PIC16F series microcontrollers

The 18-pin microcontrollers from PIC16F series have always been my favorite processors. They are small in size (so occupies less area on the circuit board), and are very easy to use. Besides they are capable enough to do most projects that don’t require a large amount of computational capability. I have used PIC16F628A and PIC16F1827 […]

Skateboard with PIC microcontroller and LEDs Schemetic

Skateboard with PIC microcontroller and LEDs

What do you get when an Electrical Engineer builds a Skateboard from scratch for a 13 year old’s Christmas present? You get a skateboard with eight white LEDs (headlights), eight red LEDs (tailights) all controlled via PIC microntroller! And I might add, one very happy 13 year old, well as happy as a 13 year […]

IR Digital Thermostat for FAN Schematic

IR Digital Thermostat for FAN

Introduction  This circuit measures temperature in Celsius scale and displays it on an alphanumeric LCD screen When temperature rise to 40 C an alarm is activated and at the same time a relay is also activated which drives a fan to keep the temperature at a level. Another feature of this circuit is that you […]
