In this project we are going to extend the previous project to include a set of pedestrian lights and a pedestrian push button to request to cross the road. The Arduino will react when the button is pressed by changing the state of the lights to make the cars stop and allow the pedestrian to cross … [Read more...]
We are now going to create a set of traffic lights that will change from green to red, via amber, and back again, after a set length of time using the 4-state system. This project could be used on a model railway to make a set of working traffic lights or for a childs toy town.we have connected 3 … [Read more...]
It’s usually is a good idea to check the temperature before setting off for an outdoor activity. Equally important is a temperature check while at the actual place. The former is easy to do using the local TV or the Internet but once you are in the bush or the countryside such a task becomes more … [Read more...]
A PIC chip,is a micro- controller integrated circuit manufactured by Microchip. When asked about the name’s origin, Microchip’s Technical Department replied, “PIC is not an acronym; it is just a trademarked name that General Instruments came up with a long time ago”. (GI were the originators … [Read more...]
Microcontrollers are extensively used making mini projects and other real time projects,In this article i will illustrate what are the tools required for developing projects based on PIC microcontroller.We can classify as two types of tools required Hardware tools Software tools In this … [Read more...]
Old-fashioned bakelite telephones are becoming increasingly rare in living rooms, but they’re still common enough at rummage sales. We like convenience in our lives and our tools, and a phone that isn’t attached to the wall by a cord is simply more convenient. So it’s ‘out with the old, in … [Read more...]
What you will need to program microcontrollerIn the late 1970s and early 1980s, the cost of equipment for developing microcontroller-based systems was beyond the reach of most small companies. Now, however, there are many high school students already developing exciting PIC projects.To get started … [Read more...]
" Turn A Broken Laptop Into A Digital Photo frame "As a techie, I have accumulated a lot of hardware over the years and it pains me when I have to get rid of things that are old but still potentially useful. Such was the case with a … [Read more...]
IntroductionNever before has it been so quick and easy to create microprocessor-based circuits. With theadvent of the new PIC range of 8-bit microcontrollers and the high performance, low costsoftware available, a project can take literally a morning to progress from initial conception tofinal … [Read more...]
Let a PIC check the health of your IC This Easy to build PIC based IC tester is very easy to make and highly reliable.This IC tester can successfully check the most of the IC's we are using in our normal project constructions such as TTL,74,74F,CMOS 4000 series.This could be very … [Read more...]
