The schematic for this project is much more complicated than previous projects. There are four main features in our design. (1) We will be able to program the pic on the board we develop. (2) We will be controlling a servo. (3) We will be taking data input from an IR Proximity sensor. (4) We will set 36 LEDs to display proper output to respresent

what the IR sensor sees. The power circuit is a 9v Battery hooked up to the LM7805 with a 1uF capacitor hooked to output & ground of the LM7805 to keep a steady 5v DC. The programming circuit is made by hooking up two pins from the PIC to the programmer and allowing the programmer`s pin 1 access to the MCLR*/Vpp-Pin1 on the PIC. We put a rectifier diode in there for safety as well. The IR Sensor only uses 1 pic from the pic, PIN 2 - RA0. It will use the analog feature of this pin to get an ADC value as the proximity sensor only outputs analog voltages. This value will tell us the if anything is near the sensor in our enviornment. There are 40 LEDs in total. Since each 74HCT373 can control up to 8 leds; 40/8 = 5 we`ll need to use 5 74HCT373`s to be able to control all 40 LEDs. It is important to notice on the schematic that a common data bus is used between all the 5 chips.
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.....
