PIC Micro Multiple Servo Motor Interface Using a modified version of the last program, we can control as many servomotors as we have I/O lines on port B. In the next listing, we will control two servos in the same manner as we controlled a single servo in the previous program. The circuit is shown in figure 4 (below).

PIC plots pixels sans controller - 02/16/98 EDN-Design Ideas It is sometimes desirable to display the output of a PIC µC graphically, rather than numerically. However, the operation increases system complexity and expense. In addition to the LCD itself, you usually need a graphics controller and at least 1 kbyte of RAM. However, you can obtain a satisfactory plot(Figure 1) Design by Daryl Christopher, Juniata College, and Tom Fisher, Inexpensive Systems, Huntingdon, PA

PID Temperature Controller - What's a PID controller? PID stands for "proportional integral differential" and relates to a process which seeks to continuously correct the error between a measured variable and a desired setting by calculating an appropriate correction process.

PLL-based converter controls light source - EDN-Design Ideas July 2, 1998 [ NOTE
: File has multiple design, scroll for this one.] Using the circuit in Figure 1, you can digitally control the light intensity of a lamp. The control loop is based on a PLL, in which the VCO comprises a light-to-frequency converter (TSL220) coupled to a light source that derives its drive from a switching regulator (L4970A). The output of the phase/frequency comparator (4046) serves as the control voltage for the switching regulator. The control voltage is proportional to the frequency error between the reference frequency (fREF) and the signal frequency (fIN) coming from the light-to-frequency converter.

Power Off Time Delay Relay - The two circuits below illustrate opening a relay contact a short time after the ignition or ligh switch is turned off. The capacitor is charged and the relay is closed when the voltage at the diode anode rises to +12 volts. The circuit on the left is a common collector or emitter follower and has the advantage of one less part since a resistor is not needed in series with the transistor base. However the voltage across the relay coil will be two diode drops less than the supply voltage, or about 11 volts for a 12.5 volt input. __ Designed by Bill Bowden
