Want to build an RGB LED controller that you can program with your own custom sequences and effects? Then read on. The RGB LED controller has proved to be very popular project and has been the most...
View ArticleRGB LED Strip Controller high-side LED drive for PIC12F629
Recently I acquired a 5M length of RGB LED strip using SMD5050 RGB LEDs. It has built in current limit resistors designed for operation from a 12 volt supply. Having thought this would directly...
View ArticlePic RGB color generator using PIC12F629
Description PIC RGB is a circuit that generates random RGB colors using a RGB LED and fades between them. The idea for this circuit came from the candle simulator [1] and another project called TinyRGB...
View ArticleIr On-Off using PIC12F629 microcontroller
Turn ON or OFF electrical devices using remote control is not a new idea and you can find so many different devices doing that very well. For realization of this type of device, you must make a...

Simple IR capture for multitasking operating systems The IR Widget captures the infrared signals used by remote controls. It operates in a way that makes it compatible with modern multitasking...
View ArticleBuild your own Wireless Network detector using PIC12F629
What This Is This project is for a small electronic unit that allows the user to sense the presence and relative signal strength of wireless hotspots. It can be worn as a pendant or carried in a...
View ArticleLift Counter using PIC12F629 Microcontroller
This project has been developed due to a request from Mr Moshweunyane (dmoshweunyane8@gmail.com). He asked for a circuit that would count up when someone entered a lift and count down when someone...
View ArticleMUSIC BOX using PIC12F629 Microcontroller
This project is an extension of a number of musical projects (Happy Birthday and It’s a Small World) and puts 11 melodies into a single design. It’s called EVOLUTION. From the previous projects we...
View ArticleSKY WRITER using PIC12F629 Microcontroller
We have seen many projects using a set of LEDs to produce words “in the air,” but none have the clever feature we have included. Most of the projects are “shaken in the air” and produce messages that...
View ArticleSOLAR TRACKER-1 using PIC12F629 Microcontroller
This project will improve the output of your solar panel by about 40%. It uses a motor and gearbox from a 3.6v power screwdriver, however a number of different voltage motors can be used. The project...
View ArticleTouch Switch using PIC12F629 Microcontroller
You can add this circuit to all sorts of projects that require on-off control. Our design allows up to 4 touch sensors using a PIC12F629. The output of each touch sensor is active LOW and this can be...
View Article20 LED BADGE using PIC12F629 Microcontroller
This project drives a number of LEDs via a very clever circuit. There are 3 ways to dive a LED from an output of a micro. The simplest is called “dump.” This is where the LED is connected directly to...
