Aurora RGB LED Art
Aurora 9×18 is a beautiful firing sequence of 162 RGB-LEDs in a circular configuration. The color of each circle is controlled by a microcontroller (PIC24F08KA101) using a twisted form of PWM. The MCU only has one PWM module, yet Aurora is capable of 27 (9xR,G,B) independent brightness control.
Electric Smoker Temperature Controller
Smoke-O-Tron is PID controller for electric smoker temperature developed based on PICAXE microcontroller. The controller can handle the 1500W heater to within about 3 degrees F. It will measure temperature in the space and switching the heater on and off at a given speed.
Digital Caliper with RS232 Interface
This project shows you how to connect inexpensive calipers, micrometers and height gauges to PC through serial RS-232 interface and see the result using PC software. Its main part consists of minimal PIC to RS-232 interface, +5V/-1.5V power from serial port, and 1.5V to 5V logic level conversion. “The connector on the measuring instrument will [...]
