Microchip’s PICKit2 is much more comfortable,reliable and powerful than the other programmers that we can find all over internet. It is a USB based ICSP (In Circuit Serial Programming) programmer. Since it is a first release, Microchip published all the resources of PICKit2 public, which includes hardware schematics and all source code of softwares used. Through this […]
8×8 LED Array Multiplexed Infinity Mirror A little bit different than your regular Infinity Mirror. Using a piece of mirrored acrylic for the back mirror, 8 rows of 8 holes are drilled into in a grid pattern. A LED is then placed in each hole and wired up so that i can be multiplexed through […]
PicLink RS232 low cost development controller with ADC PICLink RS232 Embedded Controller The PICLink RS232 controller module affords any microcontroller enthusiast an easy to construct mini-microcontroller module. This embedded microcontroller is ICSP (in circuit serial) programmable and provides separate PORTA, PORTB, RS232 I/O ports, 4 Channel Analog to Digital converter as well as an integrated […]
Microcontroller are widely used in electronics gadget and are one of the key element in developing any project and thus this project used 8051 microcontroller and will help in teaching about interfacing of temperature sensor with ATMEL microcontroller by means of ADC, to display the temperature on a 16×2 LCD and to rotate a DC […]
The Virtual Wallis a circuit to mimic the behaviour of the iRobot Virtual Wall/Lighthouse, provided with the robot. It produces the same infrared pattern and the robot sees it as another virtual wall, blocking its path, while vacuuming. This circuit was built mostly using SMD components to reduce its size, nearly to the size of […]
Table of Content: Frequency Reference Frequency Actual Subtraction and Comparator Digital Outputs Integrator Transistors Q2…Q4 Connection to Oscillator How to tune? PIC SW in the frequency counter Final test RB2 Function Is this worth to build it? Pictures are better readable locally with appropriate viewer, so we suggest download them first This PIC software combines […]
This post provides an example code to use PIC16F84A pins as inputs. After going through this example, you will understand how to make PIC16F84A pins as inputs and how to read their value in the code. This code is written in C language using MPLAB with HI-TECH C compiler.You can download this code from the ‘Downloads‘ […]
HOW DOES IT WORK & CIRCUIT SCHEMATIC Everybody knows the speed of the sound in the dry air is around 340 m/s. Send a short ultrasonic pulse at 40 Khz in the air, and try to listen to the echo. Of course you won’t hear anything, but with an ultrasonic sensor the back pulse can be […]
The synchronizer ensures a contact-free, optical synchronization of external photographic flashguns. The triggering of the external flash is derived from embedded flashes of a camera. It can be used for both digital and “analogous” cameras or for a remote synchronization of the actual flash units. Its use is optimal especially with digital cameras (DC), where […]
For a while we have been sharing many electronic projects for engineering students and then we found out there was a huge demand for embedded projects, especially PIC microcontroller based projects. After a short break, here is another outstanding one that is not only suitable for electronics engineering but mechanical engineering students too. Now coming […]
