Kaossilator 2 hack: hands free (part 1/2)

This is my first instructable…. ever. So here it goes. I own a Kaossilator 2 (KO2). It’s fun little phrase synthesizer and simple looper. But it has this awkward issue with mic button. When you want to record something from microphone you have to hold down two buttons simultaneously. First the mic button to enable […]

d.i.y. Handheld Multichannel Analyzer MCA based on 16F877 PIC Microcontroller and LCD

d.i.y. Handheld Multichannel Analyzer (MCA) based on 16F877 PIC Microcontroller and LCD

Some time ago I was developing a medical instrument which required histogramming, which got me in the mood to retake my own PIC MCA project(http://home.comcast.net/~prutchi/index_files/scint.htm ). I used the variable RAM in the microcontroller (16F877), so I limited the number of channels to 95 and let the histogram run until some channel reaches 240 counts (the […]

Prepare the Pipe

Chromation Systems RGB LED Tube Light

Built utilizing a 24 Channel High Current USB LED Controller to control 12 volt RGB LED Light Strip, in 8 separate groups. Each group has individual 8-bit PWM which can create over 16 million colors. And is driven at full current for maximum color saturation and accuracy. Using the ColorMotion Compatible Firmware, various colors patterns and effects can be created […]

Carriage Fitment

Incredible DIY iPhone Macro

After taking apart dozens of disposable cameras over the years, I found myself with a lot of lenses of varying sizes and nothing to use them for… until now! By making a simple carriage that would hold the lens and attach to my iPhone via rubber band, I was able to make a virtually free […]

Interfacing DS1307 to PIC Microcontroller with C code and Circuit Diagram1

Interfacing DS1307 to PIC Microcontroller with C code and Circuit Diagram

This tutorial will help you to interface DS1307 RTC with PIC16F877 Microcontroller. The project is compiled in CCS Compiler and simulated with Proteus. The Real Time Clock is interfaced with PIC controller via I2C. I2C is a 2 wire communication protocol. I2C is used for moving data from one device to another simply and quickly. […]

PIC16F84A MemoSound Game

PIC16F84A MemoSound Game

Game rules You will have to memorize a melody, made of up to 62 steps. A step is one of the four tones available in the game system. In order to help you, each tone is associated to a color LED (yellow, green, orange, red) which lights each time the tone is played. The game […]

8Digit SPI Display

Dual 4-digit seven segment LED display with SPI interface using PIC12F

This project is an extension of my previous MAX7219 based SPI seven segment LED display module. The new display features eight 7-segment displays arranged in two rows of four digits. The on-board MAX7219 driver enables you to easily add eight 7-segment LED displays to your project using only 3 I/O pins of microcontroller. The major […]

Mini PIC Dev Board

Mini PIC Dev Board using PIC18F452

For one reason or another I really like to use breadboards for building prototype designs. The breadboard offers superior flexibility in that you can change a single electrical connection at any time, as long as you have a long enough wire. One of the draw backs of the breadboard is that you tend to build […]
