Complete Circuit Board Lab & POV Business Card Introduction Though there are many Instructables on some aspect of how to make circuit boards, this one is different. It’s an instructable on how to make the things you need to make circuit boards, specifically, a flamboyant business card toy. Over the past six months I have […]

Summary This is a description of how I designed and built my UV exposure box. After experimenting a bit with dry-laminate photo-resist and liquid UV hardened solder mask I decided to stop trying to improve my toner transfer technique and rather build a proper UV radiation unit for making printed circuit boards. I wanted it

The Microchip PIC16F877A has 40 pins 33 of them can be input or output. In this simple project I am going to configure this microcontroller to blink a 33 LED each LED is connected to one I/O pin. The PIC16F877A has 8 analog channels, so we have to configure all these channels as digital output.
Introduction In today’s world of rushed schedules, time is something a ton of people are in constant need of keeping track of. A very good method for keeping track of the time is to have a wall clock. But what if you want a clock that’s different from all the others, or something that will
ams’ digital ambient light sensor features an integrated on-chip photopic filter The TSL2540 from ams was developed as the 4th generation ambient light sensor (ALS) and includes an integrated on-chip photopic filter which provides near photopic responsiveness for operation behind the inked glass of a touch panel display. The TSL2540 is a highly sensitive light-to-digital converter that transforms light intensity
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: (
This post provides the code to make an LED blink using PIC16F877 microcontroller. This code is written in C language using MPLAB with HI-TECH C compiler. This code is intended to be the first step in learning how to use PIC16F877 microcontroller in your projects. You can download this code from the ‘Downloads‘ section at the bottom

In this tutorial we will learn How to Blink an LED with PIC Microcontroller using MPAB XC8 Compiler. Recently Microchip released a series of development tools including MPLAB X IDE and MPAB XC Compilers. MPLAB X IDE is a software that runs on a computer intended to develop applications for Microchip’s Microcontrollers and Digital Signal

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a technique in which the width of a pulse is modulated keeping the time period of the wave constant. One cycle has a fixed time period called ‘Period’ and a varying on time called ‘Duty cycle’. The entire wave can have two voltages levels either logic 0 or logic 1.

Introduction: Bringing games played on 2-dimensional screens into 3-dimensional space. When games are played on flat 2-dimensional screen, it greatly limits the player’s interaction with the game. It simply kills some of the exciting aspects and new possibilities within the game that we might be able to see in higher dimensions. In this project, we
