Capacitance Meter

“Capacitors are vital components in electronics, but sometimes they are broken, or the value printed on the cap has become unreadable. Because my multi-meter does not have a capacitance measurement, I decided to make one! The principle of measuring capacitance …

Odd Use of Watch Dog Timer

“What I meant of Odd Use is the result not my expected but exactly what I needed. I experiment 7 segment LED display driven by 74HC595, I found the circuit and the code to build on, I previously built the …

2-line interface for graphic LCD

“LCD is a preferred medium of interface when dealing with embedded systems. It can display both numbers and characters. Further, the graphical LCD (GLCD) is even better, as it can display texts, plot curves, display pictures. In the present context …

Build a LED Cube 4x4x4 in less than 3 hours

“I was always wanting to build a LED cube for my wife (as I promised her to). I’ve been watching a lot of tutorials/instructables about building a LED cube and frankly speaking, all of them have the same …

7-Segment and 8x8 Matrix LED Controls

Sending information from the micro-controller to the user is extremely important to help in the interaction between the two. The use of 7 Segment LEDs is a common practice since they are simple to use devices that allow the sending …

24 LED Control

The circuit presented today is a circuit built with 3 Shift Registers - 74HC595. This circuit allows controlling up to 24 outputs - in the case of LEDs and controlling them independently. A CSEduino was used to control the 24 outputs. Since …

LED Rubik’s Cube With Arduino

“In this instructable I’ll show you how you can build your own LED Rubik’s cube. This project was done for an introductory electronics course at Pomona College. Groups were given approximately two months to complete a project of …

Random LED Dots: Hardware Layout

“Quite some time ago, Sophi gave me a common-anode RGB LED panel and told me to make something of it. In a spate of desk-clearing, I hammered out a quick-and-dirty multiplexed display from found materials: 2N2907 transistors as row source …
