Introduction This project is for the hobbiest who wants to build a measurement and display unit for an Awana Grand Prix® track (also known as a Pinewood Derby track.) The racetrack for which I designed this unit is a 4-car track. A car is approximately seven inches long, is released by a gate at the […]

Introduction This program is an experimental timed-discharge adapter for a Vericom control panel used with an Orenco Systems AdvanTex® wastewater treatment system (sewage filtration system) marketed by Wastewater Technologies, Inc. Although the Vericom firmware is capable of modification to provide timed-discharge capability by a firmware download via telephone, this adapter was just an experiment to

An extremely simple and low-cost Sine/Square wave generator, known as the “Custom Function Generator,” is developed based on the Analog Devices AD9835 Direct Digital Synthesis (DDS) Generator chip.. The frequency can be set for any frequency from 1Hz to 10MHz in 1Hz resolution steps! All this with three push buttons and a novel “sliding window”

This simple project uses a Dallas DS1820 one wire temperature sensor and a pic 16f628 microprocessor. A simple temperature regulator where a LED symbolizes the Fan. Data derived from the DS18s20 is a 9bit centigrade temperature measurement. As mentioned the temperature sensor communicates over a one Wire bus that requires only one data line and ground for

It’s 1970 and a 12 digit LED Display for pocket calculators has just been released. Nation Semiconductors are in the forefront of designing miniature displays for calculators and have a range from 2-digit to 16-digit displays. The actual 7-segment displays are so small it takes a bubble magnifier in front of the LEDs to see

This is the lowest-cost dialing alarm on the market and shows what can be done with a PIC microcontroller. The complete circuit is shown below. You cannot see all the features of this project by looking at the circuit – most of them are contained in the program. So, read on and see what we have included.

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

GPS satellites and GPS Ground Segment need extremely accurate timing to allow GPS users to know their own position on the Earth. Rubidium and Cesium clock generators are extensively used and maintained to synchronize and generate the signals that our inexpensive navigator gets from the GPS satellites orbiting at 20000 Km. Many commercial systems use

This project was sent by Electrical Engineer Atanasios Melimopoulos (Copyright (c) June 15, 2007) INTRODUCTION: In-Circuit-Debuggers, as you may already know, have become the PIC’s debugging standard tool for many programmers because it’s easy use and handy interface to the target picplaced- board. They come with MPLAB plug-ins that provides a full rich set of
