The microcontroller board is shown (top left/green board) along with the auxiliary board (bottom left / brown board) and the two geared Hurst stepper motors. In this view of the microcontroller board the programming jumper is in the upper right area. Power is applied in the lower right. The IR sensor is in the upper left next to the yellow

LED. The stepper motors connect to the two six pin headers on the left side of the second board, seen below. The activation switch (which moves the bridge up or down) connects at the bottom center and the sound unit or other accessory connect via the screw terminals on the bottom left. When the programming jumper is in place the unit is in program mode and functions can be controlled by the TV remote control unit. The unit used in this example is a Philips CL015 that is programmed to emulate a Sony remote 1. Make sure the programming jumper is on the two jumper pins on the green microcontroller board. This allows the remote control unit to operate the motors 2. Type a 4 digit number of degrees, for example 0720 for 2 rotations (720 degrees) - note that the LED flashes out each digit as it is entered - please allow time for each digit to flash out before entering the next digit. Pressing the UP/DOWN button will move the motors the programmed number of degrees. The first press of UP/DOWN moves the motors CW. The second press moves the CCW. Note. If power is lost while the bridge is up the unit will remember that is was up and the next press will put the bridge down. If power is lost in the middle of an up or down operation the bridge controller will not know where the bridge was stopped and the unit must be reset by with the remote control unit - (install the programming jumper and use the 1-6 keys (as above) to move the...
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.....
