I had a few multicolor LEDs laying around and wanted to whip up a color-blending nightlight. I built 2 devices, each in its own 20 pin DIP socket without soldering. A 3-pin header is included so I can reprogram the light on-the-fly if desired. On my first build, I used wire-wrap. The next one used […]
The 230 V, 50 Hz is step downed using voltage transformer and current transformer is used to extract the waveforms of current. The output of the voltage transformer is proportional to the voltage across the load and output of current transformer is proportional to the currentG‚throughG‚the load. These waveforms are fed to Voltage Comparators const […]
[Kay Choe] can’t play the piano. Rather, he couldn’t, until he converted his keyboard to include LED-guided instruction. [Kay] is a microbial engineering graduate student, and the last thing a grad student can afford is private music lessons. With $70 in components and a cell phone, however, he may have found a temporary alternative. The […]
This is Ver2.0 of a finished project. I usually do projects about the same way every time. Product definition (10 min), Code outline (10 min), Schematic generation, Build prototype, Write code all at one sitting (This one took about 6 hours), Take a copy of the above file, and delete all but a small section. […]
desktop-sized can cooler From the “Something that Should be Made Department” comes this drink cooler. Ever since seeing peltier devices for sale I have wanted to put one to a cool use, and this is it. 🙂 The heart of the device is of course the peltier module. photo is from ebay auction for my […]
Summary. A design for a simple microwattmeter. Input range -75 dBm to + 5 dBm. Frequency range 2 to 50 MHz. Level resolution is 0.1 dBm, frequency resolution is 10 kHz. Log-output about 0.5 – 3.5 Volt. Output for external counter. The meter uses a AD606 as log-converter, a MAX186 as ADC, a PIC16C84 as […]
In February of 2007 I spent a little while prototyping a board that turns any bicycle wheel into a moving display billboard using a single string of LEDs. The idea was to do something that would be very visible, turn itself on and off automatically, have enough processing power to dynamically generate bike computer style […]
This is an old design. Some of the components may be difficult to buy. If you would like to build an even better and cheaper A/D converter, take a look at the new PICADC3 design. The PICADC is a simple 12-bit, 8-channel analog to digital converter (with 4 additional digital inputs), which may be connected […]
Project : Display control on a LCD (jhd162a ) Requirements jhd162a LCD PIC18f4550 Here in this project the running display of the screen is been controlled by a PIC18f4550 board which is interfaced to jdh162a lcd. jdh162a lcd is very easily available in any electronic shops. The Video below shows LCD interface with my USB […]
C# Software Application and Firmware for PIC18F4550 Board To continue further with this project you would need to download my version of Firmware to control 6 LED’s and a Software application which is written in C# sharp, a project file has been also enclosed with the download files given below. Download the software, firmware and […]
