Digital LED Thermometer

This project shows the temperature on a three digit 7-segment display, it measures the temperature from -9.5 to 99 degrees Celcius in 0.5 C steps, or from 0 to 210 degrees Fahrenheit in 1.0 degrees steps. Because of the LED display the temperature is also readable in the dark. The TCN75 from MicroChip is used [...]

PIC16F628 Serial 8 RGB LED Controller

This code is for a simple RGB LED controller for 8 LEDs using a PIC16F628. The PIC selects each LED then turns on/off the respective colors then goes to the next LED. Source: Semifluid

Simple UV lightbox for PCBs

How to make a simple yet professional looking UV lightbox for PCB production. With a few items salvaged and picked up in a sales you can make an effective PCB exposure box for less than half the price of the cheapest commercial boxes. I have made four of these units (some double sided) yet still [...]

Power MOSFET RGB LED PWM Driver

The RGB LED driver described on this page uses logic level ‘N’ channel MOSFETs which allow it to control LED arrays or lamps at up to 5 amps per channel without heatsinks. The driver uses exactly the same firmware as the small RGB LED driver so you can use the same code and sequences with [...]

3 LED Bike Light

This project is based on a PIC10F200 baseline microcontroller, running from a supply voltage of 2 to 5 volts.  In standby mode it consumes a current of less than 1µA making it perfect for battery powered operation. It uses three individually driven high brightness LEDs, and a single push button switch for turning the light [...]

INTERFACE 4-channel controlled by a PC

From the displayed patterns can be seen that the relays connected to the RB ports on the microcontroller and the RB3 – RB6.  Over MAX232 interface circuit is connected to the serial port of your PC. Command is done the program done in Visual Basic in the PC. Led6 uses LEDs for indication of incorrectly [...]

4 Channel IR Receiver

From the displayed patterns can be seen that the relays connected to the RB ports on the microcontroller and the RB0 – RB3. As the use TSOP1736 IR receiver or similar to it. Leadership is done remote control that supports the Philips RC5 standard. Source: Milan Milovanovic

Largest 3D Plasma Display- Panasonic sets world record

PANASONIC’S FULL HD 3D VIERA® TV NAMED WINNER OF CNET “BEST OF SHOW” AWARD AT THE 2010 INTERNATIONAL CES Welcome to the television of the future as introduced at CES 2010. Measuring in at 152 inches, with an eight million pixel display (or 4K format to be technical) and with full 3D capabilities, the ultra-high-definition [...]

Intelligent NiCd/NiMH Battery Charger

This cheap and easy to build NiCd/NiMH Battery Charger is suitable for automatically charging a wide range of batteries for many applications. Proper chargers are usually expensive and cheap chargers supplied with the original equipment often incorrectly charge the cells and dramatically shorten their life. This ‘intelligent’ charger was designed for high current and rapid [...]
