Simple digital voltmeter can be built by using PIC microcontroller and a few discrete components. PIC16F877A 10 bit ADC module was used for this purpose, we’ll work only with 8 upper bits to translate input voltage to digital form and ...

Arduino based 3 Digit Timer with LED Display module is a relatively simple design. Recently I’ve published a number of similar projects that essentially perform the same task. You set up an initial value via some kind of user interface ...

In this article I’ll show you how you can use PIC microcontroller to record and store waveform patterns in its EEPROM memory and replay the sequence later. For this purpose we’ll need a signal/waveform generator to produce the signal, PIC ...

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is very common technique for controlling cooling fan speed in Desktop PC. In this project PIC16F877A based Pulse Width Modulation  controller was built and tested with 2 fans. 80 mm Coolink SWiF2-80P PWM Fan and Arctic Cooling ...

Due to popular demand I've modified digital clock design to work with LCD display instead of 7-Segment LED as described in this post. For Arduino version click here. All the capabilities of LED version have been maintained in current project. 1 ...

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 ...

Basic Frequency Counter with Raspberry Pi can be built in less than 15 minutes and does not require any additional components. The input signal is a square wave with 3v amplitude connected to one of Raspberry I/O pins.Design schematic is ...

Generating Sine wave is a relatively simple task. It can be done by adding MCP4725 12bit DAC to Raspberry Pi. For Arduino version based on PCF8591 IC click this link. This setup is based on I2C interface and works by ...

Simple Waveform Generator based on Raspberry Pi and DAC converter MCP4725 is the topic of this post. It can generate 3 types of signals. Sine, Square and Triangular waves. There is also a basic GUI to control its operation. See ...

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 ...
