Isolated RS422 Interface Circuit Figure 1 shows the circuit diagram of RS422 interface. Connector K1 is linked to the serial port of the PC, power to the PC side of the circuit is derived from the signal lines DTR and RTS. Positive supply is derived from RTS and negative supply from the DTR line. Optical [...]
Description Sometimes you want a simple solution to a problem and you don’t mind if your main controller has to do the work. This IRPD requires the main robot processor to choose which side to look at, and requires it to “debounce” the results for reliably operation. But, it still works really well without any [...]
Description This project is inspired by the DPRG IRPROX project. They have a pretty good PCB layout and idea. I would like to thank them for posting their project for all of us to see and learn from, I wouldn’t have started PIC programming without them, or at least not nearly as quickly come up [...]
Time Interval Relay Circuit for the clock circuit above This is a programmable clock timer circuit that uses individual LEDs to indicate hours and minutes. 12 LEDs can be arranged in a circle to represent the 12 hours of a clock face and an additional 12 LEDs can be arranged in an outer circle to [...]
The circuit below illustrates two pairs of LEDs that operate out of phase so as one pair slowly illuminate, the other pair will fade. Circuit description: This circuit is used to slowly illuminate and fade a pair of red LEDs (light emitting diodes). The fading LEDs could be installed as ‘eyes’ in a small pumpkin [...]
This is a similar circuit to the above and provides a 4 LED bar graph indicating the voltage of a common 3.6 volt Lithium – Ion recharable cell phone battery. The reference voltage is provided by a TL431 programmable voltage source which is set to 3.9 volts where the TL431 connects to the 1K resistor. [...]
Description Here is a white-LED-based emergency ablaze that offers the afterward advantages: 1. It is awful ablaze due to the use of white LEDs. 2. The ablaze turns on automatically if mains accumulation fails, and turns off if mains ability resumes. 3. It has its own array charger. If the array is absolutely charged, charging [...]
