Design Summary: Our group designed and manufactured a miniature robotic vehicle that conquers various terrains. The vehicle was designed with a track system which is powered by two DC motors. The motors use a Quadruple half H ‐Driver in order to drive the motors in both directions. The track system incorporates a four bar linkage for each tread. These two linkages allow each side to be independently raised which gives the robot multiple configurations. […]

IMAR-3 PC-KEYBOARD ADAPTER FOR SPECTRUM using pic16f84
While I was writing some tips to solve problems about Spectrum’ keyboard, some guys asked me for the possibility of using a PC-keyboard coupled by adapter. One market solution was launched by ‘Sintech’, but isn’t available the scheme nor the program used by inner microcontroler. This lack of information pushed me to do an innovating […]

Make your own motion sensor alarm with SMS feature using PIC18F2550
MikroEleketronika demonstrates how to build a simple home alarm system that has the capability of sending SMS to a predefined cell phone number when intrusion is detected. This project is based on StartUSB for PIC board, a small development board for PIC18F2550, which is preprogrammed with an USB bootloder so that no additional programmer is […]
Temperature sensor using PIC16F877A microcontroller
In this tutorial, we are making a Digital Thermometer using PIC microcontroller and LM35 Temperature Sensor. In this project, we will sense the temperature using LM35 and display it on 16×2 LCD. LM35 Temperature Sensor is accurate and cheaper and doesn’t require any external calibration. The output voltage is proportional to Celsius temperature scale and changes by 10mV […]
