In recent years more and more, have a tendency ket demanded higher reimbursement structures with lights and music lovers in general and manufacturers of tube amplifiers. The reason, in their view is that the sound of tubes is more sweet, how rich and incomparably cleaner, On the other hand, however, the entire structure is much more massive than... .
Bugdozer is an autonomous mini-Sumo robot. Her main board consists of a MC68HC908GP32 microcontroller along with input/output support chips, a voltage regulator, a crystal oscillator, and the usual assortment of resistors, capacitors, and switches. All chips are socket mounted. I`m not experienced at soldering, so soldering the sockets avoided... .
The microcontroller is able to make about 7000 complete line-following decisions per second, which is almost 7 decisions per millimeter when the robot is going full speed. By upping the clock, unrolling loops, and removing my wireless debugging and extraneous code, I could increase the number of decisions per second. .
The JavaBot1 is a small line following robot designed to follow a black line drawn on a dry erase board. It is designed to follow very tight curves. The software still has lot`s of room for improvement but works well as is. The JavaBot1 uses 2 Cirrus CS-70 servos that have been modified for full rotation and have had their controller boards... .
PicCon is a PIC microcontroller based radio controller designed for hidden transmitter hunting. When combined with a radio transmitter, it will produce tone sequences and Morse code messages at user-programmed times. It is completely field programmable via DTMF tones, utilizes EEPROM for all programmed options so they are remembered when power... .
This is a beta release of the PIXpand project. The PIXpand which is a device that connects to a TI calculator and enable it to store and retreive data to and from Playstation Memory cards. I am making this beta release as I do not have the time to continue with the project right now. Thus I would be grateful if people can build this device and... .
The example program included with the PG2051 evaluation kit is a basic serial to parallel converter written in 8051 assembler. This is probably a good example of the uses to which an AT89C2051 can be put - it would be hard to get a serial to parallel converter much simpler than the single 20 pin IC in this circuit. The program is meant to serve... .
Most of the ideas in this chapter can be found on the pages of this website, but just in case you want to go over the capabilities of the `508A, we have brought them together. Quite often when you are programming, the first thing you will run out of is output lines. Many projects need lots of drive lines and if you need more than about 8, you... .
The Pocket Programmer is a stand alone serial programmer that can program most of the PICmicro®MCU range of microprocessors. (12C6xx, 16Cxxx, 16Fxxx, 18Cxxx) It works from a single 18VDC supply or with 2 X 9 volt batteries. Combine this with 64K of on board EEPROM which can store upto 32 HEX files and you have a truely portable programmer /... .
Wisp628 is designed to be used as an in-circuit programmer only, hence no socket is provided for the target chip. `Why use such a limited design`, you might ask, `an ex-circuit programmer with a ZIF socket can do the same things and more!` You are partially right, but consider the way you would use and ex-circuit programmer for development: take... .
If the piclist is an any indication the 16f877 seems to be the new favorite hobby microcontroller, a position that used to be occupied by the 16f84/16c84. Compared to is older brethren the 16f877 has much more to offer at around twice the price. As for all Microchip controllers the datasheet (pdf) and the MPLAB assembler IDE are available for... .
