A few old N64 controllers lying around and figured that it would be pretty cool to use them to control other things. In this article I will describe in detail every step I took to achieve this. I`ve used a PIC microcontroller, but it should not be too hard.... -
The I2C PIC Interfacing Tutorial circuit is not terribly difficult however it will take some double checking to make sure you have everything hooked up properly before working the first time. The main devices used in the circuit are the 18F452, 24LC02B and.... -
Hardware design for USB is actually quite minimal, which is a big plus for us. However, what you quickly find out with USB is that the easy hardware design means the communication and control software is very complex, we`ll see more about that in the theory....

This PIC software combines frequency counter and frequency lock functions. By adding couple of transistors and operation amplifier TL082, it is possible to lock the LC oscillator frequency. Frequency reference is formed from the measured frequency itself.... -
The 12F629/675 PICs are small 8 pin DIP devices that are ideal for our applications. They include and internal oscillator, a comparator, an analog/digital converter and timers. The Microchip PICkit1 is an ideal USB programmer. PicBasic Pro (PBP) is an easy.... -
This is a very simple circuit where the PIC and an internal 1kHz sinewave table do all the hard work of making an accurate sinewave. Then it needs only a few external parts for filtering. The sinewave has a very high frequency accuracy as it is generated.... -
All PIC IR Decoders share the same, easy to build, hardware. All parts for this hardware are easily obtainable throughout the world. Building it shouldn`t take very much longer than one evening. At the heart of the diagram is the PIC16F84 processor. It is.... -
It consists only from Microchip PIC 16F84 cpu and LCD text module. Author states that this counter is capable metering frequencies from 400Hz to 50MHz. I used faster, 20MHz version of 16F84A-20I/P, and it managed to count 80MHz oscillator output... -
This circuit interfaces a standard RC-control to a standard PC game port, see figure 1. The main target was to use the interface for the FMS flight simulator. The interface makes it possible to use a standard RC radio to control the FMS flight simulator.... -

In order to accomplish this my initial thought is to sample an input (ADC) at consistant time increments and then display the waveform on a graphic lcd display. If I want to change the time scale I can just change the rate of time between samples, and if I.... -
This circuit shows the use of the XCSB servo library to control 4 RC servos. The demo runs on a 16f628 using the internal 4MHz oscilator. It uses 1 push button to select between servos and 2 push buttons to change the selected servos position. A 16x2.... -
This is a general purpose remote control project with using programmable PIC microcontrollers. Schematics are shown for using infrared (RF) or radio (RF) media. If you are not familiar with microcontroller programming, you can use fixed encoder and decoder.... -
This simple circuit can be used to program the PIC16F84 and similar "flash memory" type parts. It uses a cheap 555 timer IC to generate the programming voltage from a +5V rail, allowing the circuit to be powered from a computer`s USB port. The 555 timer.... -
After answering all those questions, to yourself, and geting the answers and/or decisions on that, some serious studying of the PIC datasheet is the next step ion order to know what the steps for each configuration and other details. Not quite. It is bit 3....

This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of.... -
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is.... -
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to.... -
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This.... -
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the.... -
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,.... -
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the.... -
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power.... -
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
