Multiplexed displays are electronic displays where the entire display is not driven at one time. Instead, sub-units of the display (typically, rows or columns for a dot matrix display or individual characters for a character orientated display, occasionally individual display elements) are multiplexed, that is, driven one at a time, but the electr

onics and the persistence of vision combine to make the viewer believe the entire display is continuously active. In the above figure, the rows are negative and columns are positive. Now, if I connect a single column to positive 3V and a single row to negative (0v), then the LED in place of the intersection of the corresponding row and column will glow. Now, if we select a single column(means a + volt at selected column), say column 1 and multiple rows (means connect 0V to few selected rows), say row 1, 2 & 8, then the selected 1, 2 and 8 LEDs in column 1 will glow. Now if i shift the column(means shifting the positive voltage from column 1 to column 2), and if i change the row data, then the new data will be displayed in column 2. Now, if i continuously shift the column and provide row data corresponding to each column, then i can display the different row data (8 bit) in different columns. . So, if one frame(10 column shift) is completed within 1/16 th of a second, then due to the persistence of vision of our eye, we will feel the entire columns are activated at a time, and thus we will see all the ten -8bit data corresponding to the 10 columns, at a time. In the above circuit, the PIC16F877A provides the 8 bit row data. CD4017 is used to select the column one by one. Now, for shifting the column position, a clock is provided by the PIC to the CD4017. On every clock, the column is shifted. (from right to left in this...
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.....
