mixed up with Microcontrollers

Most of microcontrollers work within 5 volt environment and the I/O port can only handle current up to 20mA; therefore if we want to attach the microcontrollers I/O port to different voltage level circuit or to drive devices with more than 20mA; we need to use the interface circuit. One of the popular method is to use the Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT) or we just called it transistor in this tutorial. For more information please visit www.ermicro.com/blog/?p=423

Microchip announced from EE Live! and the Embedded Systems Conference in San Jose the PIC16(L)F170X and PIC16(L)F171X family of 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs), which combine a rich set of intelligent analog and core independent peripherals, along with cost-effective pricing and eXtreme Low Power (XLP) technology. Available in 14-, 20-, 28-, and 40/44-pin packages, the 11-member PIC16F170X/171X family of MCUs integrates two Op Amps to drive analog control loops, sensor amplification and basic signal conditioning, while reducing system cost and board space. These new devices also offer built-in Zero Cross Detect (ZCD) to simplify TRIAC control and minimize the EMI caused by switching transients. Additionally, these are the first PIC16 MCUs with Peripheral Pin Select, a pin-mapping feature that gives designers the flexibility to designate the pinout of many peripheral functions. The PIC16F170X/171X are general-purpose MCUs that are ideal for a broad range of applications, such as consumer (home appliances, power tools, electric razors), portable medical (blood-pressure meters, blood-glucose meters, pedometers), LED lighting, battery charging, power supplies and motor control.

Talks and performances by people doing strange things with electricity

Fri 23 March 2012, 6.30-10pm with interval at the Showroom Cinema, Sheffield.

 

Dorkbot is a meeting of people interested in electric/electronic art in the broadest sense; robotics, kinetic art, microcontrollers, interactive art, algorithmic music, net.art... The only real conditions are that it is a bit strange and involves electricity in some way. It is really defined by whoever turns up, be it engineers who want to be artists, artists who want to be engineers, or the otherwise confused.

 

This MEGADORK event features a cabaret of talks and performances from among the UK's dorkiest, to entertain and amaze:

 

Paul Granjon - A strange performance from the world renowned self-styled robot artist.

Microchip announced the expansion of its Low Power PIC® microcontroller (MCU) portfolio. Features of the new PIC24F “GB6” family include up to 1 MB of Flash memory with Error Correction Code (ECC) and 32 KB of RAM, making it the first 16-bit MCU in Microchip’s portfolio to offer such a large memory size. Also featuring dual-partition Flash with Live Update capability, these devices can hold two independent software applications, permitting the simultaneous programming of one partition while executing application code from the other. This powerful combination of features makes the PIC24F “GB6” family ideal for industrial, computer, medical/fitness and portable applications that require a long battery life, and data transfer and storage without the need of external memory, such as electricity metering, HVAC control, fingerprint scanners and gaming.

The Digilent I/O Explorer USB is a USB peripheral device that allows programmatic access from a personal computer to various external Input/Output (I/O) devices.

 

The I/O Explorer provides a number of I/O devices on the board itself, as well as RC servo connectors, and Digilent Pmod connectors that allow access to devices external to the I/O Explorer.

 

In addition to its use as a dedicated USB peripheral device, the I/O Explorer can also be used as a microcontroller development board. It features two Atmel® AVR microcontrollers, one having USB device capability.

My friend wanted something he could install in his truck that would make it so his taillights would flash a couple times when he stepped on the brake, so they'd be more attention grabbing. Since that sounded like something I could make, I made one for his Christmas present.

This was taken using his present to me, a new lightbox. It seems there's perhaps a little more to using one of these than I previously thought.

Power adaptors to operate the microcontroller at 3.3V (top) or 5V (bottom). In both cases the 3.3V regulator and polyfuse on Calunium is omitted. By inserting one of the adaptors onto the auxillary power connector the voltage at which the microcontroller operates is easily selected. Power is supplied via the USB or FTDI connectors.

 

I built these so that I could power the board via USB for development and then fit a shield containing a boost regulator for battery powered operation. The combination of the right-angled connector on the stripboard and the polarized Molex connector on the PCB prevents the adaptor from being inserted in reverse (but not misaligned).
