Lab test bench For electrical engineering classes, basic lab equipment such as oscilloscopes and signal generators usually cost hundreds of dollars. In this project I want to implement the hardware and initial software for a small, affordable digital oscilloscope and waveform generator based off an chipKIT board. This is my Bachelor project/thesis and my main […]

Intelligent Tail Light
Some time ago the tail light of my bike stopped working. When I opened it, there was a small PCB with some electronics and a LED in it. The problem was the push button switch that did not function. I could have replaced the switch but something about this design disturbed me. The point is […]
DEVCC Hello World
The flashing LED is a tried and tested way of getting your board working, but it is somewhat tired as well. Since we have been supplying the proto shield with the blueberry purchases I thought it would be a good idea to do something different with the traditional “Hello World” project.This project is intended for […]
RFID Reader – Access Control System
This device is a simple access control system which uses RFID cards. It is designed with PIC12F1822 microcontroller running on internal oscillator at 16MHz. It generates 125 KHz carrier frequency and decodes the respond data stream – format H10301- FSK modulation 26 bits only. These cards (made by HID and other companies) are widely used in US. […]
Android Control of Non-Arduino Based Micros, PIC Etc
This instructable describes how to use the free pfodDesignerV2 to create menus and charts for your non-Arduino based micro project. These menus and charts are then displayed by pfodApp on your Android mobile. No Android programming required. Half-Duplex operation is supported if your hardware/software does not support Full-Duplex. These instructions are also available at pfod™ for Non-Arduino based microprocessors If you […]
Starting Programming With a Flow Chart
Starting to use PIC micro controllers for your projects? they are very useful but very frustrating when your programme just doesn’t work. This is one way to sort out your ideas by drawing a flow chart. This is the way professional programmers often create their masterpieces. Starting with a simple pencil and paper to get […]
Setting Up CloudX
In this tutorial, we will be learning on how to download and install necessary software required to write and do your first project with the CloudX Microcontroller, i will also be writing simple hello world project to test the complete setup. So, you’ve just bought, or are considering buying, an CloudX Starter kit. Your mind is probably full of […]
AVR32 Development Board at Home
This is my first instructable.So plz comment and help me out with any mistakes i might commit .I have created a pcb for avr 32 ,its a development board .I saw that there none online with pcb that could be done at home so thought y not put it. To start with u need the […]
Debouncing Interrupts With MPIDE Part 1: Brute Force
It’s about time isn’t it? Welcome back! If you’ve been following my I’bles up to this point, I’ve shown you two different ways to set up interrupts in MPIDE using attachInterrupt() and setIntVector(). In the first of those tutorials, I explained what “bounce” was, and why “debouncing” was important, but I had to leave you on a cliffhanger! Now […]
LEGO Nikon IR Remote
(You can skip the paragraph)My sister has a Nikon D60 camera and is an active photographer. She had been begging for a remote control for the camera and this particular model doesn’t have the option of wired remote, which would have been easier to make myself. The original ML-L3 remote costs something around 40$ in […]
