USB Audio Streamer

The idea for creating a USB sound card based on a PIC came from discussions of other people creating one on the Microchip USB forum. The hardware of the card is based on all Microchip products. The software uses a modified version of the Microchip USB framework which is interrupt driven instead of the traditional [...]

Automated Drink Maker with PIC16F877

Almost all of you have seen or used an automated drinks maker, so I presume you have a rough idea on what is an automated drink maker. Please note that this project was my degree 2nd year group project , at Northumbria University. Even though the steps outlined below, will have sufficient information to build [...]

Electrical Key-Lock controlled by PIC12F675

Devices known as electrical key-lock can de found in many versions,specificity of that device is a new way to read more keys using only one input of microcontroller. More information about KeyLock you can find in magazine “Svijet elektronike”, nr. 51, April/May 2005. Source: Ivica Novakovic

Professional PCBs by modifying “Design Rules” in Eagle

This document is not a tutorial on how to use EAGLE, although it’ll probably be somewhat useful in that role. It’s more about how to configure and customize an Eagle installation to better suit the hobbyist. Cadsoft is a German company that is a veritable mecca of software distribution enlightenment. In addition to the reasonably-priced [...]

LED Dot-Matrix Display

This is a simple how to make your own personalised LED Dot-Matrix display. I will be adding the complete program with an explaination to light the LEDs with. It’s also rather hackable, you can change it to suit yourself. Source: pinski1

IR Light Dimmer

This is a very simple IR light dimmer that you will wish to have sooner or later, especially those who are lazy enough to get up and turn off the lights. There are two versions of PCB for two sizes of capacitors: 32.5 x 26.5mm and 28.5 x 27mm. Dimmer is connected to existing home [...]

Fastest Finger First Indicator

Quiz type game shows are increasingly becomig popular on television these days. This Indicator is powered by 12V.

PC Thermometer

This incredibly simple thermometer plugs on any free serial port. Does not make use of any programmable components as microcontrollers. It gives temperature readings accurate to 0.5°C with no calibration. It’s cheap, so I’ve put one on any PC I use. And it’s soooo nice to have the temperature shown on the Windows taskbar, that [...]
