Digital Voltmeter LED Display
Here is another modification of a digital voltmeter. This time with 7 – Segment LED Display. These circuits seems to be more popular than other designs so I’ve decided to publish another variant. You can find 4 variations of digital voltmeter on ...
Interfacing MCP4725 DAC with Arduino
In this post I’ll show you how a 12 bit DAC model MCP4725 can be connected and controlled by Arduino or a compatible board. Similar design based on Raspberry Pi platform can be found at this link . Wire.h and ...
1Hz Clock Generator using PIC16F876
In this article we’ll see how to generate 1 Hz clock with PIC16F876/877 PIC microcontrollers. 3 different approaches will be demonstrated. The most basic solution is to use nested loops to “waste” enough instruction cycle time in order to produce ...
Fan Speed Monitor
Fan Speed Monitor is another simple design based on PIC16F876A microcontroller. Two similar posts about ways of controlling and monitoring fan speed were recently published. PWM Fan Controller and 2 Channel PC Fan Controller. Current article however implements a different ...
Basic PIC Frequency Counter
Here is a Basic PIC Frequency Counter design. For Arduino version click here. It doesn't not attempt to compete with some advance designs and has a very limited frequency range, however it can be used as a starting point to ...
Arduino Photoresistor Relay Control with PCF8591 Module
Relay controlled by light intensity can be implemented using Arduino UNO compatible board. In this case Keyestudio UNO R3 and AD/DA module with PCF8591 chip. Similar simpler design is available here. On this particular module a photoresistor and a potentiometer ...
Bargraph Voltmeter
A simple bargraph voltmeter can be built using 2x16 LCD or compatible VFD display. For Arduino version click here. This design utilizes PIC16F877 microcontroller and its ADC block to convert 0 – 5V input voltage to a binary number shown ...
PIC16F877A Digital Clock
This is PIC16F877A microcontroller based digital clock with 7-Segment display. For this project LTC3710HR was used, however the schematic can be easily adjusted to incorporate larger displays.LTC3710HR is 0.3 inch quadruple digit multiplex common cathode display.Main consideration for choosing the display ...
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 ...
PCF8591 I2C 8-bit A/D and D/A converter
In this short tutorial we’ll learn how to control PCF8591 I2C 8-bit A/D and D/A converter with PIC microcontroller. PCF8591 was already used in a number of recently published projects like Function Generator, also I’m planning to add it to ...
