Sealed Jar Lamp - PIC Project This device uses 2 AA alkaline batteries to power a 1 watt LED. It has 4 power levels, plus on/off, and can run either side up. The jar light is entirely sealed with no external switches. An internal mercury switch controls all of the modes of operation. It will work under water. All components are mounted directly to the circuit board (mouse over image above) . A small piece of 1/4 inch board is glued to the inside of the lid. The circuit board is fastened to this with 2 small wood screws. Nothing penetrates the lid. __ Designed by Luhan Monat, Mesa, AZ

SemTest: a Discrete Semiconductor Test Set; Pt.3 - Now that we have looked at the full circuit of our new Discrete Semiconductor Test Set, it's time to describe its construction and the setting-up procedure. We also describe how to fit a crowbar circuit to quickly discharge the HT after making high-voltage measurements.__ SiliconChip

Serial I/O Controller & Analog Sampler - It connects to your PC's serial port and can switch relays according to voltage, resistance, temperature and digital inputs. It also includes system timers and can be operated as a PLC-style controller__ SiliconChip
Serial input 4 Digit Readout - PIC Project This device uses an LTC4625 4 digit LED display (with RH decimal points) , along with 2 extra LED's. It requires only 5 volts, TTL serial input, and Ground on a 3 pin connector. Note: the connector is mounted with the pins sticking out the back side to allow for mounting flush against a (transparent) front panel. __ Designed by Luhan Monat, Mesa, AZ
Serial PIC Tap - One of the first things I like to do when creating a new project is to get the I/O working. This helps in debugging the code as I write it. What about projects that do not have I/O? This device sneeks both input and output from your computer (terminal program) to the PIC using just one pin. __ Designed by Luhan Monat, Mesa, AZ
Serial Port Tests Digitals - 25-Jun-09 EDN-Design Ideas The circuit in Figure 1 uses a MAX232 IC from Maxim to convert RS-232 voltage levels to TTL levels (Reference 1]. A 74HC4051 from Texas Instruments lets you select any of four digital inputs and route them to the serial port (Reference 2]. Listing 1 lets you control the RTS (ready-to-send] and DTR (data-terminal-ready] pins in the serial port that selects the signal under test Design by Yury Magda, Cherkassy, Ukraine

Serial Receiver-32 Bit - This is the schematic for an FM transmitter (57.6 K Baud TTL & CMOS
) with 3 to 3.5 W output power that can be used between 90 and 110 MHz. Although the stability isn't so bad, a PLL can be used on this circuit. __ Designed by Bill Bowden

Seriously Bright 20W LED Floodlight - Last February, we published a DIY 10W LED Floodlight, which has been enormously popular. We said that one was almost blindingbut to paraphrase Croc Dundee, that's not bright. THIS one is BRIGHT!__ SiliconChip
Setup Tests Bit-Error Rate - 03/18/04 EDN-Design Ideas Traditionally, the reception quality of a digital receiver is expressed in terms of BER (bit-error rate]. This figure is the proportion of received bit errors in a given period. Typically, you measure the BER in the lab by applying an RF signal, modulated by a pseudorandom code, to the receiver under test Design by Israel Schneiderman
Shared-Memory Interface Eliminates Arbitration - 08/01/96 EDN-Design Ideas The design of a shared-memory interface for the ISA bus commonly requires a relatively complex arbiter, which grants access to an onboard device or to the ISA bus. If an on-board device requires only infrequent accesses, the circuit in Figure 1 can eliminate the need for the arbiter. Local access occurs during the execution of an ISA refresh cycle, thereby eliminating any risk of contention. The RFRSH line signals the beginning of the refresh cycle; as long as this signal is active, the local device has full control of the memory. Design by Piotr Mazur, Wikom, Warsaw, Poland

Signal Controls Sine Generator - 05/15/03 EDN-Design Ideas The circuit of Figure 1 produces an accurate, variable-frequency sine wave for use as a general-purpose reference signal. It includes an eighth-order elliptic, switched-capacitor lowpass filter, IC3, which uses a 100-kHz square-wave clock signal that microcontroller IC2 generates.
