Infra Red Panel Remote Control

Infra-Red Panel Remote Control

This project is a variation on the Remote Control Rolling Shutter project that I posted earlier, see: https://www.instructables.com/id/Remote-Controlled… The biggest difference is that I did not only prototype this project but I actually build it to be used in my home. At home I have an electric fire place which has a heater on board. […]

Electronic Dimmer With Memory

Electronic Dimmer With Memory

At home I have a salt lamp. This lamp needs a regular small 15 Watt light bulb that lights up and warms up the lamp. When the lamp is switched on you normally should not dim the lamp because of the lamp heat that the salt lamp needs to get rid of the moisture it […]

How to Make a PIC Programmer PicKit 2 clone

How to Make a PIC Programmer – PicKit 2 ‘clone’

Hi! This is a short Instructable on making a PIC programmer which acts as a PicKit 2. I made this because it is way cheaper than buying an original PicKit and because Microchip, the manufacturers of PIC microcontrollers and the PicKit programmer, provides schematics and software, making it really easy for us to design our […]

Complete Guide to Design an Advanced Line Follower Robot

Complete Guide to Design an Advanced Line Follower Robot

Line follower is an autonomous robot which can detect a specific colored line painted on a surface of different contrast, such as white on black. In this project I used infrared transmitters and receivers to track the black strip on white surface. Due to the difference of infrared reflection on black and white surfaces, it […]

RF Thermostat

RF Thermostat

This project described the fist part of the following project: An RF Thermostat as described in this Instructable An RF Panel Relay, described in the following Instructables:https://www.instructables.com/id/RF-Panel-Relay/ Some time ago I posted an Instructable about controlling an Infra Red panel with a remote control, see: https://www.instructables.com/id/Infra-Red-Panel-R… The project described in this Instructable was started because […]

RF Panel Relay

RF Panel Relay

This project described the second part of the following project: An RF Thermostat as described in the following Instructurable: https://www.instructables.com/id/RF-Thermostat/ An RF Panel Relay, described in this Instructable For an introduction on this project first read the description of the RF Thermostat. In short the RF Panel Relay has the following functions: Decode an RF message […]

IR Remote Controlled Home Automation Using PIC Microcontroller

IR Remote Controlled Home Automation Using PIC Microcontroller

In this project, we are going to use a PIC microcontroller to remotely control few AC loads by just using an IR remote. Here we designed it on PCB using EasyEDA’s online PCB designer and used their PCB designing services to order the PCB boards as shown in the subsequent section of the article. At the end […]

Reaction Speed Timer

Reaction Speed Timer

Many, many years ago – when I was young – I visited the Evoluon in Eindhoven, The Netherlands. At that time it had all kind of technical stuff you could see and you could play with. Nowadays it does no longer exists in that form since the Evoluon has changed into a conference center. One […]

a simple 3 buttons on-off with pic12f629. it’s written with MikroC Step 1: The Code… start the code with ”int”———————————————————- int x0,x1,y0,y1,z0,z1; ////// with this the GPIO outputs could stay on or off void main() { GPIO = 0x00; ////// all outputs are 0 CMCON = 0x07; ////// Disable CMCON PORT TRISIO = 0b00111000; ////// […]

How to Create a Garage Door Proximity Sensor

How to Create a Garage Door Proximity Sensor

If you don’t have a reverse backup radar system in your car, or if you park forward in your garage, you probably know this feeling of “am I too close, am I gonna hit the wall??”. There are a lot of ways to resolve this issue, but if you like tinkering with electronics and writing […]
