Just one PIC to use it as counter with multiple functions. Here is the pin information: PIN FUNCTIONS: CLEAR/COUNT – GND to clear count, VSS to count. SAVE COUNT – GND start from zero on power up, VSS continue last count. C CATHODE/C ANODE – GND to use COMMON CATHODE Display, VSS to use […]
This LED clock may not be the easiest to build but surely it is the one with fewer parts that you can find, for that reason I call it “The ANP LED Clock”. (ANP stands for Almost No Parts.) Using the micro controller PIC 16F84A or the 16F628 (same pinout), this clock have more and

A simple rotating display. Just spin and enjoy. While the “Air display” is rotating, it writes the message on the air. Because the “persistence of the vision”, you will be able to read the message. Here is the circuit: Download the HEX file HEREProgram the PIC with this HEX file. (Use right-click and “Save as”)
Microcontrollers are, basically, a computer in a single chip. It contains memory, processor, I/O ports (I/O = Input/Output) and other periphericals. Can you believe a single chip does contain RAM, ROM, CPU, I/O Ports, timers and other gadgets? It only needs a keyboard and display to be a working computer… …I almost forgot; It also

Laser show for poor man Here’s another useless but cool looking “must build” gadget for every romantic geek. Let me introduce PIC microcontroller based three axis laser spirograph. Step 1 Gathering stuff Design is quite simple and employs regular parts and components but you are free to change/modify it in way you like. At first

Anthony from Cumaná, Venezuela, made his own “Persistence of vision” (POV) display, similar to my Air Display but it can be mounted on any bicycle wheels and it displays fifteen messages in Spanish. Here is the PCB with each part of the project. It uses a 12F629, works with a voltage of 3Volts This is
New Earth Time (NET) digital clock in recycled retro-modern case Ever get confused by GMT, or just wish you had a cooler way to keep track of time? Build a New Earth Time clock! Using a PIC microcontroller, some code, and a couple discrete parts, you too can have a unique timekeeping device to keep
