In this post I’ll show you how to build a simple Binary to Hexadecimal converter using common cathode 7-Segment display and Arduino Mega compatible Iduino Mega R3 board.  Similar devices should also work ,however I did not test it. The ...

In this post I’m going to show you how to use a Serial I2C Interface Module to control 2x16 LCD display with Arduino. For similar design using PIC16F876 click this link. Instead of using 8 or 4 bit parallel connection ...

This is a modified version of basic wave generator design with AD9850 and Microchip PIC16F microcontroller. A relatively simple assembly code available for download at the bottom of the page. Instead of using a rotary encoder as many other similar available ...

All my previous project were based on PIC microcontrollers or Arduino board, however recently I’ve been experimenting with STM32 MCU. For this simple project a NUCLEO board based on STM32L011K4 MCU was used. The STM32 Nucleo-32 board provides a simple ...

When working with multiple 7-Segment displays a multiplexing scheme is required in order to simplify the design and save Raspberry Pi I/O pins. Such implementations shown in this design. As can be seen from a schematic diagram 2 7-Segment displays ...

Using LM35 temperature sensor with Raspberry Pi is a relatively simple task once you have a way to read and convert analog signals. Fortunately in my previous project I’ve shown how to build a basic Raspberry Pi voltmeter with ADS1015 ...

3 Digit Dot Matrix Display with SPI interface is an advanced version of recently published 7x5 Dot Matrix Character Generator project. This design is more complex as it contains 4 microcontrollers. Three PIC16F88 were used to control 7x5 Dot Matrix Displays, ...

This post is about building a 3-digit countdown timer based on Arduino MEGA. Up/Down counter also available at this link. The timer will wait for 3-digit number to be entered via 4x3 keypad and then start counting down to zero ...

MAX7219 is a serial input/output common-cathode display driver. It can interface the microcontroller to 7-segment numeric LED displays, bar-graph displays, dot matrix display or  individual LEDs. This IC has some very useful features like built in decoder, multiplex scan circuitry, ...

This post is about building a simple PIC16F88 based DC motor controller. Motor speed and direction can be controlled by two push buttons SW1, SW2. One for motor speed and the other for polarity. This post follows recently published projects like PWM ...
