Graphical LCD Oscilloscope Using PIC

No Comments »

Using the PIC18F2550 GLCD Text Test as a basis for further experimentation, I put together a simple and accurate graphical oscilloscope using a PIC18F2550 microcontroller and a AGM1264F graphical LCD. The oscilloscope measures the average voltage, the maximum voltage, the minimum voltage, the peak-to-peak voltage, and the zero-crossing frequency for a DC signal over 100 samples. The oscilloscope has a built in edge trigger function that can be set to capture on rise or fall (or disabled altogether). The time scale for the display is variable and can be easily redefined using the changeTimeDivision function. Likewise, the voltage range can be change to 0-5V, 0-2.5V, and 0-1.25V. The main limitations of this oscilloscope include relatively slow acquisition time and sampling rate (~60kHz) and the fact that the inputs are limited by the constraints of the internal ADC. However, it is a very nice display and I highly suggest you view the videos to see it in action. [Via]

This is very cool project .USB interface is implemented by using PIC18F2550 microcontroller. Using USB LCD module you can view many types of information taken from PC like temperatures, time/date, MP3 song titles, view emails, RSS feeds – all that LCDSmartie or other program supports.

Electronic lock with key and generic RFID 125KHz RFID

The circuit is based on low-cost AtTiny2313 ATMEL microcontroller. It is able to read 125KHz RFID tags. Every tag is read then decoded, and its code is transmitted as ascii chars on the serial output. If the RFID code read is the same that is recorded in the micro non-volatile memory, then a relay pulses for 1,5 seconds, acting as electronic lock. The code stored in non-volatile memory is taken from the FIRST tag that is read from the circuit after burning the micro. The downloadable zip file contains the schematic diagram, the printed circuit board layout (single face, PDF 1:1 format) and the object file to burn in the micro. you can download document  RFID 125KHz
