Simple Automatic Battery Discharge Analyzer

October 29, 2011 By: admin Category: AVR, Data Acquisition, Microcontroller, Monitoring, Project No Comments →

The project allows you to analyze characteristics of unknown/junk battery especially the capacity and variation of the voltage on discharge. It is controlled with a PC via a serial port. No external power supply is required because it is powered by RS-232C signals. It uses ATmega48 as main controller for dummy load and constant current […]

AVR Data Logger with MicroSD

October 12, 2011 By: admin Category: AVR, Data Acquisition, Interfacing, Microcontroller, Project No Comments →

This project shows you how to store data into microSD card in files with FAT32 format using microcontroller AVR ATmega32. The MCU receives sensor’s data through internal ADC. You can connect up to 8 different sensors to the system.

Digital Caliper with RS232 Interface

September 28, 2011 By: admin Category: Data Acquisition, Digital, Interfacing, Measurement, Microcontroller, PIC, Project No Comments →

This project shows you how to connect inexpensive calipers, micrometers and height gauges to PC through serial RS-232 interface and see the result using PC software. Its main part consists of minimal PIC to RS-232 interface, +5V/-1.5V power from serial port, and 1.5V to 5V logic level conversion. “The connector on the measuring instrument will […]

PIC Based EPROM Reader

September 26, 2011 By: admin Category: Data Acquisition, Miscellaneous, PIC, Project, USB No Comments →

This project allows you to read many common EPROM and Flash memory chips. It’s equipped with USB interface that uses FTDI USB to serial chip. The PIC18F4550 microcontroller firmware handles the various differences of the range of EPROM chips. The project only uses HyperTerminal PC software to control and read the chips. Intel hex and […]
