The Pyro Propeller Clock POV schematic is actually not very difficult. There are three main parts: the power supply which uses a 7805, the LED output control which uses the PIC18F252 and 74LS373 and the `home` trigger circuit which uses an IR emitter and Phototransistor. This standard +5v power regulation circuit makes use of the LM7805 3-pin T2

20 device. A DC filtering capacitor is attached to its output to prevent high frequency spikes from the power supply. The PIC 18F252 uses an 8-bit data bus system with 2 control lines to tell which 74LS373 latch to output data on the bus to turn on/off LEDs. With this design, we can only send data to one 74LS373 at a time, which just means LED output updates will be nearly simultaneous instead of 100% simultaneous. In order to know when the system should restart displaying the current image on the propeller clock, we need a known reference point called `home`. An IR emitter diode shines bright into a phototransistor. This turns the transistor `On` connecting the +5v collector pin to the +0v Emitter pin. The PIC 18F252 will see this `falling edge` transition and know right away it`s back at the home location, 360 °.
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.....
