I finally get my hands on Analog Devices’ accelerometer- the ADXL202E. It’s small,very small. See what I mean! However there’s this problem, I usually work on PDIP packages and SMDs do give me a scare,not because I’ve never soldered them,but because I do not have the necessary equipment for it. So I decide to do [...]
The Surveyor SRV-1 robots( the Philips LPC2378 version) have the ability to be programmed remotely via Maxstream Zigbee radios. The usual way to program the Surveyor SRV-1 is via the lpc21isp utility by issuing the command: lpc21isp.exe -hex srv1.hex com1 115200 14746 . To program the robot wirelessly, follow the steps: 1. Download the flash [...]

The device that enables this is a tiny teeny IMEM [aMicro Electro-Mechanical System] which can measure anything between ±1g to ±20g [some of the high g [...]
Ever needed to measure temperature and display it? This project details measuring temperature using a temperature sensor ,an ADC and a Microcontroller PIC16f84a with schematics,codes and illustrations. You can also get the following kit, although not based on the pic, which would make your life easier for your future projects. This project was done fairly [...]
