This device reads a DMX-512 signal and grabs a variable amount of channel data values and sends them at 57200 or 19200 baud to an external device, such as a 24 Channel High Current LED Controller, when a new data packet is requested. This allows any microcontroller(PIC, Arduino, ATMel, ect.) with TTL serial communication to accept […]

16F84A VGA Test
Have you ever thought of this ?That you can generate any kind of signals using your little Microcontroller PIC16F84A. And one of these signals is the VGA signal that appears on your PC monitor. I thought of this idea but I couldn’t implement it. But I found it at this website. So I wanted to try if it is […]
Debouncing Interrupts With MPIDE Part 2: RC Filters
Hey guys! You ready for the second part of my debouncing series? “But Jay!” I can hear you asking, “I didn’t know there was a first!” Or maybe you said “Wait, debouncing? What’s that?” I’m not quite sure. The internet muffles things sometimes, you’ll have to speak up. No matter! If you’re asking either of […]
How I Made This 18F4550 Programmer in Ten Years
It really took me 10 years to build that programmer !! Don’t be surprised , I actually started building the original programming circuit of Microchip PIC 16F84 ( JDM 2 ) on 2003 and finished it in 2 days. Then on 2013 , I found that it can be reused to program the advanced Microcontroller used these days like PIC 18F4550. Here […]
Autonomous Smart Suitcase Pixy Camera!
Definition ASS is an autonomous smart suitcase that will follow the user wherever he goes. Apart from this it also has additional features such as lost mode, bag fall detection and an LCD to display the user information. The bag will mainly be used by commuters, handicapped people and others in indoor facilities. We all […]

Measure Temperature With an LM35
Of all the types of measurement, temperature measurement is one that comes up the most often and is perhaps the one that is easiest to do. I heard this interesting story once from a University Grad who started a company along with a few friends developing temperature controllers. Anyway, it turns out that its a […]
YEAAAUGH, WHHAT? OKKKAY! Lil Jon Easy Button
Ever wish the Staples Easy Button (R) could say something better than the mundane “That was easy.”? How about a Lil Jon button? YEAAAUGH, OKKKAY! LET’S GO! Attachments liljon_board.zipDownload liljon_project.zipDownload Step 1: What You Will Need (and Where to Get It): NOTE: You will need a way to program a dsPIC33 (a microcontroller from Microchip.com).

Realtime OS / LCD on $12 Discovery Board
One day I had a college professor getting ready to teach us students a powerful mathematical trick in EE101 – mesh circuit analysis I think. Before he got started he said, “Today, my students, I give you a BIG gun.” It got our attention and I remember the quote, but sadly, I’d be hard pressed […]
