A smart control knob and pan designed for the absent-minded chef! The Smart-O-Pan takes the constant vigilance out of your culinary creations, making cooking bdddoth simple and safe. I designed the smart-o-pan with people like my mom in mind. I was the family chef for a number of years but since attending university, she’s taken […]
An LED Dice using a PIC 16F84 (or 16F88) This is a re-print of a project that I made a number of years ago – I was trawling the web, and discovered that others had been making it, so I decided to put the detail here on instructables.com – so that others can benefit. Many […]
Reverse Engineering to Emulate Ink Cartridges for a Epson Printer For the past two years, I’ve been planning to build myself a 3D printer from some old Inkjet printers that I had collected over the years. But not until two weeks ago had I actually started to work on it. The 3D printer I want […]
What is meant by Analog to Digital Converter (ADC)? An ADC converts analog signal to it’s corresponding digital signal. How to convert analog signal to digital signal? CircuitsGallery.com has already posted ADC using LM324 IC, in that ADC tutorial I had already explained Analog to Digital Converter how it works. While dealing with Microcontrollers we may […]
Introduction In this project, we designed and implemented a system that will utilize light & shadow and relative distance to to recognize the single hand gesture in the air and use different gestures as commands like volume up or speed up to control a video playing. While using keyboard keys to control videos can sometimes […]
JDM2 based PIC Programmer Schematic & layout for an updated JDM2 PIC Programmer. Includes clock & data filter, Vpp voltage divider for modern PIC microcontrollers (eg USB PIC 18F2455/4455). Prior to reading sites like www.hackaday.com & www.makezine.com/blog I had worked only with the Amtel/AVR line of microcontrollers. After seeing all the cool projects people were […]
1.a History: The first single-chip microprocessor was the 4-bit Intel 4004 released in 1971. With the Intel 8008 and more capable microprocessors available over the next several years. These however all required external chip(s) to implement a working system, raising total system cost, and making it impossible to economically computerize appliances. The first computer […]
Wooden LED clock I really like concept. So many different types of wooden clock have been already built. I’ve seen many of them but I still don’t have my own. What a shame. I’m going to fix it right now. Project is very simple and requires only few common wooden materials and hand tools. Well, […]
Introduction Controlled by a PIC 32, the automated ice cream topper stores individual ice cream topping preferences, outputting the user’s ideal solid, liquid, and whip cream topping amount with the push of a button. Our project demo can be viewed here: Project Demo. The automatic ice cream topper as demoed had three basic topping capabilities that […]
Bluetooth Wireless Voltage Meter using Wiimote + Pic Chip + AutoIt In this tutorial I’m going to be showing you how you can send voltage values to your pc using a Pic chip, Wiimote, and Autoit3 scripting language. The process works by wiring a pic chip to the button pads of a wiimote. Then using […]
