7-Segment LED Display with I2C
In this post we’ll add a serial data transfer capability to a standard 7-Segment LED Display by using PCF8574 I/O Port expander IC with I2C interface.For similar design based on Arduino see this link. Usually in order to minimize required ...
HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor with Raspberry Pi
Using HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor with Raspberry Pi is a relatively easy task. HC-SR04 is a very popular module that can provide the distance to the object by sending ultrasonic bursts at 40kHz and measuring the time it takes for the ...
LED Battery Level Indicator Arduino
LED Battery Level Indicator can be built using Arduino UNO board and 10 LEDs. Similar design that uses 2x16 LCD display can be found at this link. RGB LED variant is here. For Raspberry Pi version click here. I/O lines ...
Running LED with PIC16F877A
In this post I'll show a simple running LED circuit. Currently only 2 patterns are available but additional effects can be easily added by slightly modifying the code. This design uses only 16 LED's however PIC16F877 has 5 I/O ports ...
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 ...
Basic Arduino Frequency Counter
Basic frequency counter capable of measuring 0-5V square wave up to 100kHz can be built using just 2 components: Arduino MEGA board and 2x16 LCD display. For PIC16F876 version click here. Frequency counter code is also very simple. It uses ...
Digital Alarm Clock
Digital Alarm Clock design based on PIC16F876A will be demonstrated in this post. Various modules from earlier project were implemented in current design hardware and source code. For example it uses the same 7-Segment Display and multiplexing routing as in ...
Power Supply 2.5 – 12 V
Power Supply is probably the most common electronics project you can build.This is a basic design for digital power supply. It was built around 3 main components. Digital potentiometer – MCP4251-502E/P, Low Dropout Voltage Regulator – MIC29152 and PIC16F877A.The idea ...
I2C Serial LCD Interface Module Arduino
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 ...
Sine wave generator PCF8591 I2C Arduino
The topic of this post is building sine wave generator based on Arduino UNO and PCF8591 8-bit A/D and D/A converter. For similar design with PIC micro-controller look at this link. Raspberry Pi version based on MCP4725 DAC available at ...
