Raspberry Pi 3 Digit LED 7-Segment Countdown Timer
Multiplexing 7-Segment display scheme with Raspberry Pi as described here can be used as a basis for more complex projects. By adding 4x4 keypad matrix and replacing individual 7-Segment displays with a common anode 4 digit 7-Segments module a simple ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
LCD voltmeter based on ADS1015 with Raspberry Pi
LCD voltmeter with Raspberry Pi and ADS1015 is the topic of this project. Similar design for Arduino platform is available at this link. ADS1015 is a 12 bit ADC chip with 4 analog input channels. The interface with Raspberry Pi ...
Thermocouple Amplifier MAX31855 with Arduino
Interfacing a Thermocouple with Arduino platform can be easily done by integrating a MAX31855 to your project. This IC is a Cold-Junction Compensated Analog to Digital Converter amplifier especially design for use with a Thermocouple. The converter provides 14-Bit of ...
Function Generator
Have you ever wondered how to generate a sine wave using PIC microcontroller. In this post I’ll show you a simple circuit design that can generate arbitrary wave forms including sine by using MCU and PCF8591 D/A converter. For similar design ...
Digital Power Supply 0-14 Volt
Digitally Controlled Power Supply from 0-14 Volt based on PIC16F876A will be demonstrated in this post. This is a modification of Digital Power Supply 2.5-12V article and has similar characteristics. The most noticeable difference is the use of PCF8591P I2C Digital to ...
Fading LED with PCF8591 Arduino I2C
Controlling LED brightness with Arduino is one of the basic circuits you can built. Fade sketch is even included in the basic examples in the Arduino IDE. However on Arduino boards it’s done by pulse width modulation, changing the duty ...
DC Motor Controller
This post is about building a simple PIC16F88 based DC motor controller. Motor speed and direction can be controlled by two push buttons SW1, SW2. One for motor speed and the other for polarity. This post follows recently published projects like PWM ...
