This Arduino motion-activated alarm features a tilt sensor for detecting movements and a piezo speaker for producing the siren sound. Introduction Basically, the tilt sensor produces a high voltage when it is tilted and a low voltage when it is placed flat on a surface. The siren is produced by …

There is, in fact, a way to create a NodeMCU ESP8266 WiFi jammer although technically, this is a deauther and not really a jammer. A jammer sends out noise on the WiFi frequency spectrum (2.4 GHz) while the program in this tutorial sends packets that disrupt the normal functions of …
Read More »Catch the Light PIC Game
This project is a simple PIC game where LEDs go on randomly one at a time. The objective is to “catch” the LED that’s on by pressing the corresponding button. For every catch, the score, displayed on a seven segment display, is incremented. The speed of the LEDs increase every …
Read More »Electronic Queuing System
The idea of this electronic queuing system is to display both sequence number and counter number in three seven segment displays. For example, when counter 1 presses his button, the number 1 shows up on the counter number segment. At the same time, the sequence number is incremented. This system …

Project Overview I was recently commissioned to create a simple project for a coffee roasting machine. Basically, I need to measure the temperature of the machine in real time to monitor the progress of the roasting process. This includes a line graph that updates every second and is viewable on …
Read More »Adjustable Timer with Relay
Project Overview This adjustable timer displays seconds, minutes, and hours and is powered by a PIC16F 877A microcontroller. There are five buttons included: start/stop, up for incrementing digits, down for decrementing digits, and left and right for moving between digits during adjustment. I’ve included a relay circuit that will trigger …

This project is a stepper motor controller featuring the PIC16F877A microcontroller and coded using XC8. The controller has three control buttons: start, stop, forward and reverse. The project was created with a six-wire unipolar stepper motor in mind but may work with other stepper motors with some modifications.
