DIY Muscle Sensor EMG Circuit for a Microcontroller

DIY Muscle Sensor / EMG Circuit for a Microcontroller

Measuring muscle activation via electric potential, referred to as electromyography (EMG) , has traditionally been used for medical research and diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders. However, with the advent of ever shrinking yet more powerful microcontrollers and integrated circuits, EMG circuits and sensors have found their way into prosthetics, robotics and other control systems. Yet, EMG […]

PIC 16F917 Gyroscope interface

PIC 16F917 Gyroscope interface

In this post we will study the ADC ( Analog-to-Digital ) Module of the Microcontroller PIC16F917 . We will study a real circuit of PIC16F917 interfacing to a semiconductor Gyroscope. The Gyroscope is a motion sensor that senses tilt in a certain direction . The used sensor is a yaw rate sensor ( free sample

PIC 3x3x3 LED cube Schematic

PIC 3x3x3 LED cube

HereΒ΄s my 3x3x3 LED cube, it’s controlled by a PIC16F628A microcontroller. This is my first microcontroller project that finally works, so i suppose is not that difficult to make for beginners. I hope you’ll enjoy that instructable and even make your own LED cube! Step 1: Materials The PIC drives the cube without external IC’s
