The sadly uninteresting Vex microcontroller.

All the peripherals can be interfaced with an arduino to better effect. Slap a bluetooth module on it and operate it from your phone instead of the hokey Vex rf joystick thingie.

Here is the MSF Receiver test bed in 2022, in a conveniently-sized shoebox which helps keep all the bits together.

 

Here we see the receiver module in a litte cheese carton.

 

I have managed to damage the receiver module (due to some ham fisted fault finding) which means it will only now function with a much reduced supply voltage, which explains the LM317 in the container.

 

Then on the main board I have had to add a voltage shifting circuit to lift the reduced output voltage to one which will drive the Arduino which runs the latest version of the code which may eventually find its way into the "built" unit.

 

There are a few redundant left-over parts from earlier projects.

 

Definitely a bit "Heath Robinson"!

With only 35 instructions to learn the Microchip PIC microcontroller assembler language is considered very efficient and easy to learn; you will not find such as Atmel AVR microcontroller CP (compare) and BRNE (branch if not equal) or BRGE (branch if greater or equal) on the PIC microcontroller assembler language dialect, instead it’s just provide us with a very simple bit test and skip one line instruction.

I originally made this over 30 years ago. With the technology available then it needed another big metal box. Recently I took it down from the back shelf and managed to get it all in the nice old box by using a PICAXE micro-controller.

Microchip announced an expansion of its 8-bit PIC® microcontroller (MCU) portfolio, with the peripheral-rich, low pin count PIC16(L)F161X family. These new MCUs expand the offering of Microchip’s Core Independent Peripherals (CIP), which offload timing-critical and core-intensive tasks from the CPU, allowing it to focus on other application tasks. Additionally, this family integrates fault-detecting hardware features to assist engineers in developing safety-critical applications. For more info, visit: www.microchip.com/get/VLDM

Microchip Technology's RE46C190 3V photo smoke-detector IC with horn driver and boost regulator. The world’s first smoke-detector IC to offer low-voltage operation with programmable calibration and operating modes, the RE46C190 IC enables the desired operating modes to be selected and calibrated during manufacturing. This simplifies smoke-detector design and manufacturing, and reduces component count, and cost. Additionally, the IC’s low operating current of 8 microamperes typical enables up to 10 years of operation from a single Lithium battery. Two Alkaline batteries may also be used to power the RE46C190.

Microchip Technology's PIC18F87J72 Single-Phase Energy-Meter Reference Design (Part # ARD00280) features a shunt-based single-phase meter with energy-calculation firmware and GUI-assisted software calibration, the reference design enables calculation of active/reactive energy, forward/reverse energy, active/reactive/apparent power and RMS current/Voltage. Customers can reuse or customize the free firmware for their needs, which further shortens time to market and enables them to differentiate their products in the marketplace.

The camera body is a small plastic box from Maplin's. The ribbon cable connects the sensor chip to the Arduino, and supplies 5V power.

One of the advantages using the Microchip PIC microcontroller Pulse Width Modulation or PWM for short is; this PWM peripheral circuit is designed to control the DC motor using the full bridge mode PWM feature. The PWM peripheral works by supplying the correct signal to the H-Bridge DC motor circuit such as speed controlling and changing the DC motor direction.

The PIC16F75X family of 8-bit microcontrollers (MCUs) featuring intelligent analog and core-independent peripherals, making them ideal for general-purpose applications, as well as power supplies, battery charging, LED lighting, power management and power control/smart energy applications. The new PIC16F753 MCU builds on the success of the popular PIC12F752. The PIC16F753 offers all the key features of the PIC12F752, such as the integrated Complementary Output Generator (COG) peripheral that provides non-overlapping, complementary waveforms for inputs such as comparators and Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) peripherals, while enabling dead-band control, auto shutdown, auto reset, phase control and blanking control. Additionally, the PIC16F753 offers an Op Amp with 3 MHz of Gain Bandwidth Product (GBWP), and a slope compensation circuit to help in Switch Mode Power Supply applications.

The Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based on the ATmega328

 

It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer with a USB cable or power it with a AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started.

I2C (read as I Square C) bus first introduced by Philips in 1980, because of its simplicity and flexibility the I2C bus has become one of the most important microcontroller bus system used for interfacing various IC-devices with the microcontroller. The I2C bus use only 2 bidirectional data lines for communicating with the microcontroller and the I2C protocol specification can support up to 128 devices attached to the same bus.
