So this is a bit of a continuation on my 555 timer based PWM controllers, but now using microcontrollers and MOSFETs instead of 555 ICs and transistors. I made 2 versions, one with switches for speeding up and down and the other with a potentiometer like the previous controllers. I used ATtiny25 controllers running at …
What is Visual TFT? Visual TFT is a standalone application used for rapid development of graphical user interfaces for TFT displays. Software generates code compatible with micro Electronica compilers: mikroC, mikroBasic and mikroPascal, for all supported MCU architectures: PIC, dsPIC30/33, PIC24, PIC32, AVR and ARM. Software implements intuitive environment and many drag-and-drop components which can …

There are many PIC programmer available, commercial and DIY devices. As Microchip introduces the new microprocessors the programming software got to be updated accordingly playing catch-up with the PIC manufacturer. That is the root of the problem with third-party PIC programmers. Microchip’s PICkit 2 is the low cost ICSP programmer for Flash PICs with USB …
10, 20, 30W LED modules are no rarity anymore and the question how to cool them and to maintain an aesthetic aspect is still more actual. Sunon, as an innovative producer of reliable fans with many advanced technologies (VAPO, MAGLEV, …) launched on the market cooling modules with a fan and an aluminium heatsink, directly …

Here’s an SVG image to Eagle polygon importer called svg2poly. It seems like an excellent alternative to the BMP importing plugin included in Eagle default package. [via] Surprisingly often, I find myself wanting to import vector images into eagle, and have them appear as polygons – usually for silkscreen. Whilst importing vectors as lines is …
Meet Powah, a little power on/off toggle with an indicator LED. It uses a pair of Schmitt triggered inverters to debounce the button, and a P-channel MOSFET to switch the power on and off. The board is designed to be plugged into a breadboard. It is designed to mount on one end of my breadboard, …
This mini breakout board is designed to simplify prototyping and experimentation work with the popular 18-pin PIC16F series microcontrollers. It is small in size (1.95″ X 0.75″) and is breadboard friendly. It supports PIC16F84A, PIC16F628A, PIC16F88, PIC16F648A, PIC16F1827, PIC16F1847, and other 18-pin microcontrollers in the same series. Features On board Reset switch and decoupling capacitor Easily plug into …

This project measures the background radiation outside the house, and transmits it to a display station inside the house. The outside sensing unit is solar powered (but it doesn’t have to be), and should have a range of at least 50m. The display station inside the house continuously displays the current background, and logs it …
Lantronix x Direct brings a complete solution of Ethernet connectivity of a serial device to LAN – directly, without an intervention to a device. The new module – serial / LAN communication interface incorporated into a cable, brings the most simple possible solution how to connect any device with a serial interface with a DB9 …

We route all our PCBs manually instead of using an auto router. This can be a tedious job sometimes, but we think it gives the best results. Sometimes we’re just about to finish a PCB, when we notice a MUCH better way to route it if only a few connections could be changed. The Gateswap …
