Arduino 4-Digit 7-Segment LED Voltmeter MAX7219
Here is another version of Arduino based voltmeter. This time it uses 4-digit 7-Segment LED display and MAX7219 Display Driver. For similar design with 2x16 LCD display click this link. Also you can look at PIC16F876 implementation in my previous ...
Digital Voltmeter VFD Display
This is a new revision of 10 bit Digital Voltmeter. For Arduino based voltmeter click here. Recently I’ve published a few voltmeter designs ranging from a simple LED display voltmeters with 8 bit of resolution to a more complex with 10bit ...
Arduino Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04
This post is about building a distance meter using HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor and Arduino MEGA board. For PIC16F877 version click here. Raspberry Pi variant is also available at this link. HC-SR04 module can measure distances ranging from 2cm – 400 ...
Kinetic Watch Winder
In this post I’ll show how to build a basic kinetic watch winder using PIC microcontroller and stepper motor. Kinetic watches do not require changing the battery as frequently as in quartz watch however despite their many advantages they have ...
BCD to 7 Segment Display Decoder
In this post I'll show how you can drive 7 Segment LED display with PIC16F876A. Instead of using a dedicated IC’s like 4511 we’ll program the micro controller to convert BCD input code 0 – 9 to a 7 Segment LED ...
Basic counter with RGB LED 2812 Pixel Matrix Shield
In this post I’ll show how to interface a Keyestudio 40 RGB LED 2812 Pixel Matrix Shield with Arduino UNO compatible board. Each LED on this shield has an integrated chip WS2812 and can be individually controlled. Attached Arduino code ...
10Bit 7-Segment Digital Voltmeter 0-24V
This is an upgrade to recently published Simple Digital Voltmeter.Few improvements were done to hardware and software.DVM operating range was slightly increased up to 24 V Max, however the most significant change is that the code now uses full 10 bit of ...
LED Blinking STM32L011K4
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 ...
Arduino Digital Level MPU-6050
In this post a 1 axis basic digital level design will be presented. This circuit is based on Arduino UNO board and MPU6050 accelerometer and gyroscope chip. The communication is done using I2C interface. MPU6050 module address can vary depending ...
Response Time Meter
If you ever thought how fast you can react to external stimulus here is the circuit that can measure your response time. It measures the time it takes for you to press the push button in response to turning the ...
