This is a post about the POV ( Persistence of Vision ) Display that uses one 7 Segment display. In short, I made this little project as a proof of concept of something I ‘ve always noticed in many electronic devices those used 7 segment display. Devices like 7 segment display clocks and meters. In those devices, the 7 segment […]
So I needed a DAC (digital to analog converter) to use with my pic12F675 , and for those of you who have never heard of this little fella, it’s an 8 pin microcontroller from Microchip that has only 6 I/O pins… This is a very simple circuit that converts Digital data (serial input) to Analog
Hello, guys! In this project I will try to explain my experiments on PIC MCU and Python serial communication. Over the internet, there are many tutorials and videos on how to communicate with PIC MCU over virtual terminal which is very useful. However, in my main project one of the requirements is to establish serial
The Propeller processor chip is the most unique micro-controller on the market today. It’s not just a single microprocessor, but EIGHT independent processors that shareresources like memory and I/O pins. And it can do some pretty amazing things thatthe rest of the microcontrollers like the Ardino and PICs just plain can’t do! (But today, all we
This device reads a DMX-512 signal and grabs a variable amount of channel data values and sends them at 57200 or 19200 baud to an external device, such as a 24 Channel High Current LED Controller, when a new data packet is requested. This allows any microcontroller(PIC, Arduino, ATMel, ect.) with TTL serial communication to accept
Hey guys! You ready for the second part of my debouncing series? “But Jay!” I can hear you asking, “I didn’t know there was a first!” Or maybe you said “Wait, debouncing? What’s that?” I’m not quite sure. The internet muffles things sometimes, you’ll have to speak up. No matter! If you’re asking either of

Ever wish the Staples Easy Button (R) could say something better than the mundane “That was easy.”? How about a Lil Jon button? YEAAAUGH, OKKKAY! LET’S GO!

Electric power tools changed the way most of us work around the house. Simple and quick, as no extension cords are needed. But they do come with some effort. I still have some power tools that are powered by old Ni-Cad or Ni-Mh batteries. They work great, but if they are not used on a
A microcontroller is a small computer which fits on a single chip. Like other computers, the microcontroller follows a sequence of instructions, one at a time, to carry out a program. With the help of a microcontroller we are going to make a morse code flasher which flashes FSC. Step 1: Materials Required the things
Communicating with a micro-controller at runtime, is a very usefulfacility. It can be used for debugging, or to send commands etc. One of the easiest available protocol to communicate is UART. It requires a pin for transmit and a pin for receive, and the GROUND connection. There are many available programs that allow us to
