Raspberry Pi Digital Clock with 16×2 LCD
Raspberry Pi based Digital Clock with 16×2 LCD display is a relatively simple project.It requires only a small set of components and can be completed in less than an hour. Previously I’ve published similar designs based on other popular platforms ...
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 ...
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 ...
Sine Wave with MCP4725 and Rasperry Pi
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 ...
Serial LCD Interface I2C
Interfacing LCD Display with serial Interface like I2C can save microcontroller I/O making it a practical alternative to a standard parallel 8 bit interface. We’ll use PCF8574 I2C port expander and PIC16F876A microcontroller to establish IIC communication by 2 lines, ...
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 ...
PIC16F Development Board
In this post I'll show a more general approach for circuits prototyping. Instead of building each individual design to validate its operation why not to design a basic PIC16F877A based Development Board. Current design have all the necessary features of ...
PIC C Programming
In this article I’ll show you how to program Microchip PIC microcontrollers using HI-TECH PICC compiler and basic PIC development board. The board consists of PIC16F876A, LED bar graph and 20MHz oscillator. PICKIT3 compatible programmer was used to download the ...
AD9850 PIC16F Interface
A simple wave generator should be a part of every electronics enthusiast toolset. Basic Sine/Square output in reasonable frequency range will be sufficient for general use. Luckily such generators are available in form of a very popular AD9850 module. Search ...
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 ...
