Here is a nice little project for a rainy weekend, all this can be accomplished over a weekend and for under USD 15. This page has gone through several rewrites, mainly to get rid of my ‘rant mode’ writing, but it seems I just need to write it out of myself. Feel free to skip […]

Introduction I have made the game pong using a pic 16F84 running @ 12MHz. The game Pong was the world’s first video game in the early 70’s, this is a modern version of it, made with a little bit less hardware than the original version. In my version, the video signal is generated in software.

This was a fun little project I put together in a few hours for a homemade-themed gift exchange this Christmas. I had on-hand a “Full Color LED” from Radio Shack (part 276-0028) which caught my eye on my last visit there. The LED has a common anode and three cathodes, one for each of the

This project controls two servo motors – both clockwise and anticlockwise and has variable speed. You can use the Joy Stick to “pan and tilt” a remote camera or provide “left-right-up-down” action for a crane or an animation on your model layout. The project also tests servo motors. The CIRCUIT The circuit is fairly simple.

LED message system on a Strida folding bicycle wheel After I’ve bought my strida folding bicycle, one of the first things I’ve done was to check out instructables.com for any strida related projects. And quite astonished to see that there wasn’t any. So I’ve planned to make an instructable that can be used on my

With my Grandma’s birthday fast approaching I wanted to put something together that was not too complicated but still sweet enough to make for a cool widget gift. Since fading LEDs never seem to go out of style and grandmas always love to see a heart, putting two and two together here was a no-brainer.

This project is based on ideas from Rickard’s electronic projects page and David B. Thomas VCR Pong. However, I have developed the simplicity even further, eliminating most of the external components. Using microcontrollers with internal 4MHz clock generator there is no need for the xtal. The 12f675 part also operates on wide voltage range, and

It’s 1970 and a 12 digit LED Display for pocket calculators has just been released. Nation Semiconductors are in the forefront of designing miniature displays for calculators and have a range from 2-digit to 16-digit displays. The actual 7-segment displays are so small it takes a bubble magnifier in front of the LEDs to see

This project is a micro controller chess game. The objective has to be able to play chess on a VGA monitor, including an intelligent computer to play against. This all has been accomplished with a microcontroller. I started this as a project for the college ( I am a Electrical Engineering student ), but it
Last year I bought this Etch-Set For Electronic Circuits from Jaycar with the intention of having a go at making my own printed circuit boards (PCBs). I’d had lots of experience working with those experimenter’s Stripboards and Perfboards, which had been more than sufficient for most of the fiddling I did in the past, however
