PIC Paintball / Ballistic Chronograph

September 05, 2011 By: admin Category: Detector, Measurement, Microcontroller, PIC, Project, Sensor No Comments →

The project shows you how to build ballistic chronograph based on PIC18F13K50 Microcontroller. The project only been tested with a paintball gun and it is relatively simple to make. It also can record the rate of fire at which a device is firing. The operation of this projectile velocity meter is rather simple, there are […]

Arduino Speed Detector on Flash

September 02, 2011 By: admin Category: Arduino, Detector, Measurement, Microcontroller, Project, Sensor No Comments →

This speed detector uses two photo resistors paired with laser as a form of trip wire. The Arduino Duemilanove with an ATMEga328 captures the tripping action and calculates the amount of time between when each sensor was tripped. By dividing the distance between two trip wires with difference time value, you will get the SPEED.

Simple Touch Sensor

July 06, 2011 By: admin Category: AVR, Detector, Project, Sensor Comments Off on Simple Touch Sensor

This project is an experiment of capacitive touch sensor. The detector electrode (touch area) is a 10mm square copper plate put on the PCB and covered with an insulation overlay (Kapton tape). An ATtiny2313 with 1M ohms pull-up resister is used for the detector circuit.

PIC Based Water Level Detector

April 28, 2011 By: admin Category: Detector, Microcontroller, Monitoring, PIC, Project, Sensor No Comments →

This battery-powered water level monitoring uses PIC12F683 as main processor. The project works in the sleep mode to reduce power consumption. Each 2 second, the watchdog timer will wake-up the MCU and then check the sensor probes condition. If the sensor probes submersed in the water it will generate sound Beep and then go to […]
