Hardware design for USB is actually quite minimal, which is a big plus for us. However, what you quickly find out with USB is that the easy hardware design means the communication and control software is very complex, we`ll see more about that in the theory and software sections. The main devices used in the circuit are the PIC 18F4455, USB Connector and LM7805. The +5v output from the power

circuit comes from the LM7805 regulator. Notice the 47uF capacitors on the input and output. These are meant to be DC filtering capacitors, which smooth out the constant DC voltage being fed to the microcontroller from the 7805 regulator. Make sure you double check your USB pinout. A common mistake when wiring the PIC to the USB connector is getting the D+ and D- signals backwards. So if you`re sure that the PIC is running your perfect code, but the USB device isn`t coming up properly, switch D+ and D-, it might just magically fix your problem! The output LEDs will be simple `toggle` LEDs. The program running on our laptop will be able to toggle them on and off with the push of a button. The A/D circuit is a standard 3 pin, Connected to Power, Signal Out and Ground circuit. The signal output goes into RA0 which is the Analog to Digital converter. After the PIC converts this signal it should send the data to the Laptop via USB. The laptop will the visually display the trimpot`s value. The push button will do a similar thing, when the button is pushed, the laptop application should update with a notification that it has been pressed. These are simple ideas, but when done over USB they become rather complicated as we`ll see in the theory section.
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.....
