Introduction It’s time for 8-pin microcontroller Microchip PIC12C508, the SAVER V3.2, my latest design of a device that turns a night light on and off everyday. The circuit uses only a PIC12C508 8-pin CMOS micontroller and a small triac, MAC97A6. The Saver V3.2 also demonstrates the use PCW PIC C Compiler. Circuit Description The […]

The RGB LED contains three LEDs encased in one shell: Red, Green and Blue (some contain an extra blue led – as blue LEDs generate less output intensity (candela) per mA). It looks like a single white led except that it has four leads – one for the common ground connection and one for each

We covered how to interface seven segment LED displays to a PIC microcontroller in two sections: Lab 6 and Lab 11. Today, we will move on to interfacing an LED dot matrix display. LED dot matrices are very popular means of displaying information as it allows both static and animated text and images. Perhaps, you

Circuit-Zone.com – Electronic Projects For a long time I needed a good programmer pussy, even if it is programming, so from time to time the application gets where it is used. So I decided to build the programmer. I chose between a couple of projects from different authors, but eventually won PICkit2. Microchip released the

Usually high level quiz competitions are very much time-oriented as it becomes significant to determine who has answered first. So here we’ll see how to make a buzzer system that helps to decide the winners. Actually I designed this circuit of buzzer for quiz program conducted in our area and then I thought it may

Philips invented the RC5 protocol for controlling electronic equipment such as CD players, VCR’s and audio amplifiers way back in the 1980’s. The RC5 standard has been adopted and used with great success ever since, which means it is probably the most common IR remote control format in your home today. We have recently been

The single character LED sign I had been playing with now has a purpose! Shortly after discarding several ideas of having it as a serial display for PC/Server status, or hooking it up to the internet and a webcam, I came up with an actual useful purpose. The sign can be a clock! I have
