I am a big fan of LEDs. Bright, colorful, flashing LEDs. So, given my affinity for LEDs, I decided to work on a controller that me and a few of my friends could use as an art project/passive information display. I have posted videos from the first prototypes (here and here), but it has been […]

Introduction Some fellow members of The Abbenay Hackspace (an open hacker space based in Stockholm, Sweden) are embarked on an ambitious project with the aim of being the first to build an autonomous sailing robot which is capable of circumnavigating the Earth. The project is currently in the early prototyping stages and this RC Servo

Potentiometers find applications in many electrical devices. For example, a light dimmer uses a potentiometer to control the brightness of lamps. In amplifiers, they are used to control the output volume of the music, or change the bass level. In an adjustable power supply we see potentiometers to vary the output voltage and current. In

It has been a quiet period but a very busy period, very active and very fruitful. I will be launching the projectryu.com site soon with tons of free resources for the audio hobbyist. Getting back to the title of this post, i would like to present a few improvements and a concrete design as a

he Intelligent Fan Controller is designed to control the noise generated by the fans inside your computer. It does this by varying their speed based on temperatures measured inside the case. When it is cool the fans will run slowly and they will only speed up when needed… when your computer is running hot. Anyone

You can use this Universal Infrared Receiver (UIR) project to control your PC: Starting Windows programs, setting the Windows volume control, even moving the mouse around the screen! All at the touch of a button – with your TV remote control in fact! It uses a PIC microcontroller to characterize the demodulated infrared signal and then

You can use a PIC microcontroller and an LED matrix to create a binary clock (or if you prefer you can wire up individual LEDs). This project uses an LED matrix block as it saves lots of wiring. So what is it ? Its an led clock that displays the time information as binary numbers…

This PIC LCD volt meter project uses a PIC micro and an HD44870 LCD display. The analogue input is taken directly to the analogue input pin of the microcontroller without any other processing. Specification Voltage range 0V – 5V Input signal level TTL Maximum input impedance 2k5 The LCD volt meter uses the microcontroller power

The RGB LED contains three LEDs encased in one shell: Red, Green and Blue (some contain an extra blue led – as blue LEDs generate less output intensity (candela) per mA). It looks like a single white led except that it has four leads – one for the common ground connection and one for each

This PIC frequency counter project uses an LCD to display the frequency and PIC timer 1 to measure the input signal and Timer0 to measure the timing period. It uses Timer 1 in 16 bit counter mode to count the input signal edges and overflows of the counter are accumulated to give the total count
