Patsiatzis Nikos and Katsaros Nikos build the space invaders game using a ZedBoard FPGA. The project's code is available on github. This two person project was completed through the course of Embedded Systems at the University of Thessaly, Department of Computer Engineering. In...

16 Channel Infra-Red remote controller is built around PIC16F73 Microcontroller from Microchip. The receiver part follows NEC Code Format. Tiny receiver provides 16 latch outputs. All outputs are TTL and can drive Relay board or solid state relay. The circuit uses TSOP1738 Infra-Red...

Davide Gironi has posted an I2C multiple HD44780 AVR Atmega library: This library implements a driver for HD44780 lcd connected through PCF8574 port expander. Data is transmitted using only 2 wire over i2c with the PCF8574. This library can drive up to 8 LCD concurrently. Lcd...

SiFive, a startup from San Francisco, is trying to democratize the access to the world of SoC designing and manufacturing by giving the ability of customizing silicon to the smallest company, inventor, or maker, and taking “the hard parts of building chips working with 3rd part IP, EDA...

The Two Digit UP Counter project built using PIC16F1825 Microcontroller from Microchip, CAT4016 serial to display driver IC from ON-Semiconductor and two 7 Segment common anode 0.5 Inch display. Project works using two switches S3 and S2, third switch has no use. When switch S3 is...

One of the biggest problems you could face in your current/next project, is when you’re out of free inputs to use. Sometimes you can save a lot of inputs using some tricks, and there’re really a lot of them. In this blog post we’re going to know how you can use many push buttons...

A project on hackster.io, made by Juan Esteban Paz demonstrates how you can design a digital logic circuit using PSoC from Cypress. All you need is a CY8CKIT-042 PSoC® 4 Pioneer Kit, buttons and LEDs. PSoC 4200 family from Cypress is an ARM-based Cortex-M0 MCU, combined with ...

Tinkerman @ tinkerman.cat tipped us with his latest project. It's a laundry notification system that will message you when it's finished. I often forget my wet clothing in the washer and after a day they really smell… so I thought about monitoring my washer and get a notification...
