Introduction This circuit is a data logger that records voltage samples at specific time intervals. I’ve used it to record the voltage discharge curve on NiCad battery packs. The data file can be dropped into a spreadsheet and plotted. I’ve also used it to record the amount of time a possibly defective refrigeration unit was […]

Introduction In this project, I have created a musical synthesizer with the ability to generate realistic instrumental sounds and to record songs for playback with harmonization. Controlled by a PIC32 microcontroller, the synthesizer has over a full octave of buttons, laid out like a piano, to allow playing notes and making chords. It combines additive

Overview Matlab has a “serial” function that allows it to communicate through a serial port. This project is to establish serial port connection with the PIC microcontroller and demonstrate bidirectional communication between the PIC and a Matlab program. For demonstration purposes, the PIC will send digital potentiometer readings to Matlab as well as receive keystrokes

Half a year ago I restarted one of my old passions – electronics. I’ve studied electronics in college but that happened during the Middle Age (20yrs ago). While I was expecting this huge leap in schematics and what a hobbyist can do nowadays, I still had some difficulties in catching up. One which frustrated me

Shift1 System is a cheap and simple way to get lots of digital output pins and only needs 1 PIC pin to drive it. Step 1: How It Works – the Simple System Normally, serial-in parallel-out shift register ICs can be set up for 2 pin operation; DAT – data, is the next bit to be shifted

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

So this tutorial should show you how to get an analog input using a PIC microcontroller (I’m using a PIC16f887) in assembly language. You may have a demo board (which makes programming way easier) just a chip. I’m using just a plain 40 pin chip on a breadboard. Step 1: Hardware Setup -You will need

This project is a follow up of the Illuminated Presents project that I posted earlier. My wife really liked the Illuminated Presents but kept them as Cubes and did not put a bow around it to turn them into presents. Because of this success I created a second one – called Illuminate Cubes since that is what
