Mikroelektronika released a new BETA version of mikroC PRO for PIC compiler with a lot of useful upgrades. Compiler is now supporting more PIC microcontrollers: PIC12F617, PIC18F13K22, PIC18LF13K22, PIC18F14K22 and PIC18LF14K22. Make your comments alive with new feature called Active Comments. New and improved libraries and new set of example projects are available for users [...]

This dimmer it can’t be used for light dimming and it can control those power saving fluo-bulbs which have internal electronics/converters. The controlling element is solid state relay  (SSR) which consists of opto-triac MOC3043 (MOC3042) and a triac (ie.: BTA16, BTA08, …). This combination enables us to turn ON/OFF all kinds of appliances (motors, lights, [...]

This project is useful for repairing broken PC monitors. The monitor tester uses ATTiny2313 AVR MCU running at 20MHz speed. Power supply is made using one xx2950 device chosen because its low quiscent current, important factor for battery powered devices. You can use an 78L05 equivalent integrated circuit if you are not interested in consumption [...]

New tool from mikroElektronika called Package Manager. This tool will bring a new great flexibility in development and sharing of libraries, sources, definition files and examples. The Package Manager is a tool which enables users to integrate their own libraries in the mikroIDE. Besides installing new libraries into the mikroIDE environment, the Package Manager can [...]

A VU meter is often included in audio equipment to display a signal level in Volume Units; the device is sometimes also called volume indicator (VI). In this project we are building a basic and low cost LED VU Metre circuit . The extent (range) display is -18 dBu to +3 dBu, spread over eight [...]

This example will show you how to build a PIC based simple memorization game system. With only a PIC16F84A and a few cheap components, you will train your brain first to understand a few basics about PICs, second to play to a not that easy memory game ! Source: micro-examples

Today we have a new category “Projects” and a new electronic  project 12 Channel LED Chaser with PIC16F84A. This project is based on the popular PIC16f84A micro-controller.The heart of this project LED chaser is the PIC16F84A PIC microcontroller.A 4MHz crystal and capacitors C1 and C2 22pf is used for providing clock pulses to the micro-controller. [...]

For transfer of digital audio between devices is standardized S/PDIF interface (electrical) and TOSLINK (optical) for commercial use, or AES3 for professional use. S/PDIF decoder module is used for converting of this interface to I2S interface, which is usually used on audio DACs. For conversion we can use for example integrated circuit CS8416 or DIR9001. [...]

This test board has a simple way of software testing for a project with LCD serial interface connection and, if necessary. The layout of the two 16 pin connectors (St1 and St2) is adapted to the microcontroller board from Batronix . The actual connection of the LCD display is universally interpreted as possible and put [...]

Generally tachometer is a gauge to measure rotation speed of any rotating things. In RC hobby tachometer is the instrument for mesauring and monitoring propeller revolutions per minute (RPM). This tachometer has some additional functionality like: thrust, pitch speed and power estimating. Source: elfly

The FabISP is an in-system programmer for AVR microcontrollers, designed for production within a FabLab. With this AVR Programmer you will be able to programm your AVR without removing it from your board. [via] Source: David A. Mellis
