In this project it was used the ?Piranha Super-flux RGB? Led of common anode, and the PIC18F25K20, in order to generate combinations of colors. It has two function modes, automatic that generate the color sequence that is stored in the ?C memory, and the manual mode in which you can select one of the seven possible colors. The control of the RGB led is made with PWM(Pulse With Modulation), because PIC18F25K20 only have 2 PWM outputs (Hardware), I did the PWM by software to have 3 PWM outputs for that I use TIMER0 and for the Manual mode I use IOC(interrupt on change).

In this project I use push buttons to change between modes and to change the colors. But if we use the button as in the circuit (1) we have a problem. The problem with this configuration, due to the mechanical nature of any switch that may contains spring return action of some kind, there won?t be a clean transition from a state to another, but instead there will be a series of high and low states spikes. To solve that problem we have to implement a de-bouncing system, it can be done by hardware or software. We can use a RC delay circuit or it can be done with a schmitt trigger, but both ways will increase the price. So I done by software the de-bounce.
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.....
