The high speed scanner in the video above easily allows the user to digitize books using a flip-book style scanning process which can process 200 pages per minute. The camera prototype rig captures 500 frames per second at 1280×1024 pixels. The trick is in the two optical capturing modes of each frame. See Video..

Adam Mayer of NYC Resistor is working on script for processing small pixel fonts for use in 8-bit AVR applications. The 8-bit AVRs have very little memory, so he stored each 7-pixel-high column as a single byte. The pixel data, along with the table that maps ASCII codes to character data, comes in at around [...]
This GTO is controlled entirely via iPod Touch, allowing the owner to start the car, open the doors and trunk, roll down the windows, control the radio, arm the car alarm and even rev the engine – all from across the parking lot.Range is limited since communication is handled via bluetooth but [...]
In this article Mr.Simon will show how to breadboard a simple USB generic HID device, creating the PIC18F firmware and finally creating the Windows interface for the device which will allow you to control a LED from the PC and read the state of a push-button from the device. Since the advent of Windows 7 [...]
This clock will work extremely accurate as a real time clock & also it will give you an alarm notification on every hour. This clock uses 12 hour clock format. Features: High Accurate Timing, AM/PM Indicator, Hourly Chime, Key Press Tone, Power Sense / Display Off and Battery Backup.

If sales of Panasonic are any indicator, then 3D will appear on the market and the large door. The first shipment of 3D high-resolution televisions already sold out.Of course, this is currently an early adjustment of the market. “There are always people who want to buy the latest products from top technology. This is probably [...]

This project (GSM controller ) is a device that allows you to control appliances using SMS messages. There are also 4 inputs for connecting sensors so the device will send an alarm SMS or even call you to report an alarm condition.
Autor of this project has been successfully tested on:
- Nokia 7110 (19200 bps, 8 [...]
MikroElektronika is proud to announce PICPLC4 v6 PLC System as an addition to its PIC development tool product line. The new PICPLC4 v6 is a PLC system for development of industrial, home or office control devices. The PICPLC4 v6 PLC includes new features such as: GSM/GPRS communication, Ethernet, RTC and many more. Each feature of [...]
This project allows instant start sequentially but a dozen low-voltage lamps 12 V / 60 W, and makes them fade and always sequentially (but slower). This system has been designed to meet the demand of a visitor who wanted ten recessed low voltage spot in a driveway to his house, with the following function: – [...]
This circuit allows switching on a LED when the battery voltage (12V) drops below a certain threshold. The operating system is based on a comparison of tension, which comes in a zener diode. If the supply voltage is 12V and the zener diode is a 10V model (this is the case in the diagram), we [...]
This is a good looking and practical device that can be useful in many areas where countdown timer is needed. This project is based on the PIC16F84A microcontroller. The time range can be adjusted between 1 and 999 seconds. This project has 3 buttons and one of them is named Set Button. In order to [...]
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 [...]
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. The [...]
