Word Clock

A Word Clock using PIC16F877 microcontroller

A Word Clock ************************************************************************** Major updates – A much better enclosure for this clock has been designed, and a better controller using an AtMega controller now exists.  check out http://www.instructables.com/id/The-Wordclock-Grew-Up/ ************************************************************************** This is a project to tell the time using words. I saw a cool clock on the Make Blog the other day (http://blog.makezine.com/archive/2009/09/qlocktwo_clock_tells_time_with_word.html), and […]

LED Strobe for PIC12F629 675 schematic

LED Strobe for PIC12F629 / 675

 Description This project functions as a simple strobe for driving an LED.  The use of an output transistor allows it to pulse the strobe LED with a current up to 100mA. Four jumpers provide options for changing the pulse width, strobe repeat interval and single or double strobe flash.  The programmer ready code has default

USB Voltmeter

USB Voltmeter using pic microcontoller

USB Voltmeter USB Voltmeter is a PC based dual channel voltmeter built around PIC18F2455 / PIC18F2550 microcontroller that measures voltage from 0.00V up to 500.00V with 10mV resolution. USB Voltmeter sends measured data to PC via standard USB connection displaying data on a computer monitor. USB Voltmeter is self-powered drawing very little current from USB
