In this self-explanatory schematic you can see decoupling capacitor on the right, which must be as close to microcontroller`s power pins as possible; crystal oscillator, which is optional, because you can use internal RC oscillator or external clock signal, depends on your needs; 10k pull-up resistor for RESET pin, to allow external programmer to drive this pin low when

uploading firmware; ISP connector. And if you want to use MISO, MOSI and SCK pins for purposes other than firmware upoload, you can connect 4. 7k resistors between those pins and peripherals that you want to connect there. Two connectors on the left are from the most popular AVR programmer made by Atmel AVRISP mkII. And on the right is the pinout that I`m using in my projects, because it is much easier to work with single row connector than with double row ones. But be aware it`s not a standard connector pinout. Since in PIC microcontrollers 12-13V applied to MCLR pin for programming you need to put schottky diode or 470 ohms resistor between RC circuit and MCLR pin. In some cases you can omit capacitor and diode and connect 10k resistor straight to MCLR pin. You can read more about this here: System Supervisors in ICSP Architecture and PICKIT 2 programmer manual. PICKIT III and PICKIT II programmers are made by Microchip, they`re very cheap and have some additional functionality, like UART tool, which allows you to talk to the microcontroller or any other device using UART serial protocol.
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.....
