I got to thinking that an interest in hi-fi can be a bit geek ( in a good way ) so I thought one of my latest geek projects might be of interest to some of you. You could build the project ‘as is’ without learning embedded C programming or you could use the project […]
While I waited for the Mini 7-Segment Clock v3 PCBs to arrive, I got to work on designing an enclosure. First, I exported the PCB from EAGLE to SketchUp. I then assembled a complete 3D model with all the necessary components. With the 3D model complete, I could then design an enclosure to house the
Here is the nixie clock ! PIC16F84A microcontroller Single-digit Nixie, sequential hours, minutes and seconds display DCF-77 atomic clock, with automatic or manual time set-up high voltage power supply for Nixie with only 4 components 24 hours cycle programmable extinction time no MikroC compiler licence needed ! This project will show you how to drive a nixie

Introduction There are many DIY versions of WWVB clock designs available on the web. Commercial “atomic” clocks are inexpensive and widely available, but I wanted to try my hand at designing one to gain insight into WWVB reception and to learn a little about programming a PIC microcontroller. My version is not the simplest available,
The module based on DS1307, The DS1307 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power, full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data are transferred serially through an I²C, bidirectional bus. The clock/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. The end of the month date is
Here you will see how easily we can make Digital frequency meter by PIC microcontroller using timer 1. To make this project we need clear idea on timer 1 module of PIC16F877 microcontroller. We need to know how we can configure timer 1 module to do our desire work. For that I suggest please refer

Step 1: COMPONENTS REQUIRED 6 components needed : 1. Microcontroller (I have used AT89S52-8051 family), any programmable microcontroller can be used. 2.7 segment display 3.Crystal oscillator (12MHz) 4.Capacitor (10uF, 33pF/22pF) 5.LEDs 6.resistances (330 Ohm) 7.buzzer (piezo) 8.push switches And I’m not including soldering iron, wire, flux….. electricity !!! help me out 🙂 Step 2: Circuit Diagram This
Introduction In the 1970s I worked for a while for the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) at a site in Winfrith, Dorset. Amongst a lot of other interesting work, I used a gamma ray density gauge that amounted to a caesium-137 source, in its castle and collimator, the target (various), a sodium iodide detector (from
Classic AC 230 V Timer project can be used in all application requiring a timer of up-to 3 Minutes to operate or control any AC mains load of up-to 200 Watts. This project is based on the Classic 555 Timer IC, triggering a TRIAC. Input and Output is Optically Isolated. Specifications Supply input 12 VDC
This project is aimed to design a ‘Sleep and Wake-up Assistant’. Different from a normal alarm clocks which can only make noise, this alarm clock is designed to wake up a person in a comfortable and effective way by involving sound, light stimulation, motion detection and vibration. The functions of this alarm system are: (
