Need USB solution for your project Use LPC2148 MCU. In old days it`s very handy using LPT or COM to interface your project to PC but today they are vanished just like dinosaur. All switch status can be monitored on the PC, as well as the ADC value. The LEDs are turn on/off by the first byte sent from PC. In my project input and output buffer size

are 4 bytes each, you can increase the buffer depends on your need. To me, this project is about perfect because the program on PC can recover the connectionwhen temporary USB cable disconnection occurs. The VB program recognize the device from its Vendor ID (C251) and Product ID (1301). Thiscircuit work onpoll-based communication, meaning theMCU will reply when receive request fromPC. So when USB disconnected, there is no update on LCD. There are 8 switches pulled-up by 10k resistors and8 LEDs with 120ohmseries current reducer so that the GPIO will not burn out by the overload sink current. Power comes from USB +5V, regulated down to 3. 3V by LM1117-3. 3. It`s very handy, isn`t it USB connection provides both data link and power supply. Just put in your consideration that the +5V is limited to 500-1000mA, depends on the PC/notebook/netbook type. Some older notebook even limit the current up to 100mA only. If your project require big current, it`s wise to prepare an external power supply. Just like the USB external harddisk configuration, when the PC power is insufficient the harddisk should be connected to 2 USB ports or using external 5V power.
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.....
