Have you ever wondered exactly what is going on in the 2.4GHz WiFi and ISM band around your house. What channel is it best to set your wireless router to? Why are you getting such poor performance across your WiFi network? Is your neighbour on the same frequency? Just what is out there? This neat […]

Disco Lights Project using pic microcontoller
What does it do? The Disco Lights project is what you get when you combine the fantastic beat detection circuitry of my ever popular beat triggered strobe light with coloured halogen lamps! In other words, four coloured lights flash in a variety of patterns in time with your music. Some seriously cool patterns can be […]
Borkbit: A Wifi-Enabled Smart Collar
Introduction “A smart, wearable device for your pet.” Borkbit is a smart, wearable device for pets that helps owners track their pets from afar. As any pet owner can attest, being away from one’s animal friend is difficult. Today, an increasing number of people are living away from their families, working eight to ten hours […]
How to Interface GSM Module SIM300 with PIC 16F628A Microcontroller for sending SMS and making Calls using pic microcontoller
We have seen many Electronics Engineering projects use GSM Modem. GSM modems are widely integrated with GSM security system, GSM alarm to provide easy user interaction of user to the embedded project. What is a GSM module? A GSM module lets you to make calls, Send messages, Process messages and calls, Interrupts sing SMS and […]
How to drive a Dot Matrix LED Display. using pic microcontroller
Driving a 64 LED dot matrix LED display is quite simple and just requiresONE TRICK! Here you can find out how to drive an led dot matrix with 64 LEDs (8 rows by 8 columns – 8×8 display) or less e.g. 35 LEDs (7 rows by 5 columns – 5×7 dot matrix). However the principle remains the […]
An Inexpensive Microcontroller Based Data Logging System
INTRODUCTION Attempts to understand and analyze environmental variables need data sets that track both temporal and geographical changes. These data can be collected using networks of recording instruments or instruments connected to commercially available data loggers (e.g., Silliman and Booth, 1993), but the cost of such networks is typically in the thousands to tens of […]

EOG-Controlled Video Game
Introduction The goal of this project is to develop an electrooculography (EOG) system that can record potentials across a user’s eyes, and use the resulting signal to control a simple video game. An electrooculograph is a device that measures the standing potential across the human eye. In this project, we will use silver-plated electrodes to […]
