How to Make a PIC Programmer - PicKit 2 ‘clone’

“Hi! This is a short Instructable on making a PIC programmer which acts as a PicKit 2. I made this because it is way cheaper than buying an original PicKit and because Microchip, the manufacturers of PIC microcontrollers and the …

How to make FM transmitter

“A short range FM transmitter is a low-power FM radio transmitter that broadcasts a signal from a portable audio device (such as an MP3 player) to a standard FM radio. Most of these transmitters plug into the device’s headphone …

Game of Snakes and Ladders

“This is an electronic game of snake and ladders. The position of the snake and ladders is pseudo random in the sense that the snakes and ladders are not fixed and change every time the switch is pressed(analogous to …

iSwitchPi Adds an Intelligent Power Switch to Your Raspberry Pi

“A Raspberry Pi does not have an On/Off switch and there is no easy way to shutdown the Pi while keeping the filesystem intact. This Intelligent Power Switch brings a clever solution to this problem: Power-On the Pi by …
