A simple development board seems like a fun project. I’m recording my ideas here, and hope to get some input from other members of the ‘uC (or anyone else). To avoid feature creep, I think several levels of dev-board would be a good idea. This page will describe my ideas for a level one board, […]
Some time ago the tail light of my bike stopped working. When I opened it, there was a small PCB with some electronics and a LED in it. The problem was the push button switch that did not function. I could have replaced the switch but something about this design disturbed me. The point is
The flashing LED is a tried and tested way of getting your board working, but it is somewhat tired as well. Since we have been supplying the proto shield with the blueberry purchases I thought it would be a good idea to do something different with the traditional “Hello World” project.This project is intended for
Starting to use PIC micro controllers for your projects? they are very useful but very frustrating when your programme just doesn’t work. This is one way to sort out your ideas by drawing a flow chart. This is the way professional programmers often create their masterpieces. Starting with a simple pencil and paper to get
LED technology is opening the door to a variety of high-power-illumination applications. The circuit in Figure 1 can let you know when ac power is available. To drive a power LED from the ac line requires a converter or a similar arrangement. In this circuit, a passive dropper greatly simplifies the total design. You can
I want to acknowledge that so many here contributed ideas and support, and although there are too many to name now, I did want to acknowledge my gratitude for all that contributed to the project.I am so happy that the printed circuit boards I developed helped those that wanted or needed them, whether they had

I am presenting a best class USB Universal Programmer for both PIC and AVR Microcontrollers. In our present market the universal programmer supporting much devices with combination of PIC and AVR are not in common, they are expensive also. This programmer is very cheap which is less than ₹500(10$). It is made with easily available
This project is a variation on the Remote Control Rolling Shutter project that I posted earlier, see: https://www.instructables.com/id/Remote-Controlled… The biggest difference is that I did not only prototype this project but I actually build it to be used in my home. At home I have an electric fire place which has a heater on board.
