pic16c63 midi controlled light dimmer

PIC16C63 Midi controlled Light dimmer

This is Ver2.0 of a finished project. I usually do projects about the same way every time. Product definition (10 min), Code outline (10 min), Schematic generation, Build prototype, Write code all at one sitting (This one took about 6 hours), Take a copy of the above file, and delete all but a small section. […]

Peltier Powered Drink Cooler

Peltier-Powered Drink Cooler!

desktop-sized can cooler From the “Something that Should be Made Department” comes this drink cooler. Ever since seeing peltier devices for sale I have wanted to put one to a cool use, and this is it. 🙂 The heart of the device is of course the peltier module. photo is from ebay auction for my […]

micro watt meter

A simple 50 MHz diy microwattmeter using PIC16C84

Summary. A design for a simple microwattmeter. Input range -75 dBm to + 5 dBm. Frequency range 2 to 50 MHz. Level resolution is 0.1 dBm, frequency resolution is 10 kHz. Log-output about 0.5 – 3.5 Volt. Output for external counter. The meter uses a AD606 as log-converter, a MAX186 as ADC, a PIC16C84 as […]

Bicycle Persistence of Vision Light Display February 2007

Bicycle Persistence of Vision Light Display — February 2007

In February of 2007 I spent a little while prototyping a board that turns any bicycle wheel into a moving display billboard using a single string of LEDs. The idea was to do something that would be very visible, turn itself on and off automatically, have enough processing power to dynamically generate bike computer style […]

PIC AD converter

PICADC – a free, PIC based “intelligent” A/D converter using PIC16F84

This is an old design. Some of the components may be difficult to buy. If you would like to build an even better and cheaper A/D converter, take a look at the new PICADC3 design. The PICADC is a simple 12-bit, 8-channel analog to digital converter (with 4 additional digital inputs), which may be connected […]

PIC18F4550 LCD display jhd162a 216 Interface

PIC18F4550 – LCD display jhd162a ( 2×16) Interface

Project : Display control on a LCD (jhd162a ) Requirements jhd162a LCD PIC18f4550 Here in this project the running display of the screen is been controlled by a PIC18f4550 board which is interfaced to jdh162a lcd. jdh162a lcd is very easily available in any electronic shops. The Video below shows LCD interface with my USB […]

C Software and Firmware USB INTERFACE BOARD

C# Software and Firmware, USB INTERFACE BOARD

C# Software Application and Firmware for PIC18F4550 Board To continue further with this project you would need to download my version of Firmware to control 6 LED’s and a Software application which is written in C# sharp, a project file has been also enclosed with the download files given below. Download the software, firmware and […]

Infrared Remote Control with Microcontroller

Infrared Remote Control with Microcontroller

This little project will demonstrate how you can use NEC IR protocol based TV, DVD or VCR remote control to control you home appliances like fan bulb or virtually anything. There are lots of projects out there to accomplish this task but i have to write my own code because of too many requests on […]

Mini IR Remote Control

3-Switch Mini IR Remote Control for PIC10F200

Description This project is a 3 button mini IR remote control which transmits 12-bit SIRC IR signals as used by Sony remote controls.  It has been designed to work with both the 2-channel relay driver board  and 3-channel relay driver board projects also on this website. The board uses Microchip’s low cost PIC10F200 microcontroller along […]

Temperature Recorder

Temperature Recorder using PIC12F683 microcontroller

Description This project uses a MicrochipPIC microcontroller, a serial EEPROM and a thermistor to create a temperature recorder. Performance The temperature is measured and stored at user programmable intervals; this can be from 1 second to 256 seconds. The time interval is set by programming it and the start time into the EEPROM. Most of […]
