This project describes how to make a digital voltmeter with a PIC microcontroller. A character based on HD44780 LCD display is used to measure voltage. The PIC microcontroller used in this project is PIC16F688, which has 12 I / O pins of which 8 can be used as analog input channels to the built-in 10-bit ADC. The measured voltage is fed to one of

eight analog channels. The reference voltage for the AD conversion is chosen to be the supply voltage Vdd (+5 V). A resistor divider network is used to end the inning with a map of the range of input voltage range of ADC input voltage (0-5 V). The technique can show that the input voltage from 0 to 20 V, but can be expanded with an appropriate choice of resistance and make the calculation described below. Since the PIC port can not be directly 20V input, the input voltage is reduced by using a resistor divider network simple. The resistors R1 and input voltage range R2-range of 0-20V to 0-5V, before being implemented in PIC16F688 channel analog input AN2. 5. 1V zener diode connected in parallel between the port pin AN2 and earth provides protection to the PIC pin input voltage is accidentally beyond 20V. The LCD screen is connected to the 4-bit mode, and the head of CPSI makes firmware development easier than you can reprogram and test the PIC while it is on. When you`re happy and you want to transfer the circuit of the test card to a PCB or prototyping board for general purposes, it is not necessary ICSP header.
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.....
