Scanning 7-Segment & KeypA - D - Since the output buffer ofP1 can sink 20mA (each output pin, but maximum IOL for all outputs was limited at 80mA) , thus we can use P1 to drive LED display directly. As shown in the circuit, Two common-anode 7-segment LEDs are connected to P1 with 180 Ohms current limiting resistor. Each segment of two LED __ Designed by Wichit Sirichote
Scheme implements multiple output ports - 02/16/98 EDN-Design Ideas - In µP/µC systems, you sometimes need to use many output ports and update all the ports simultaneously. For instance, in systems that use multiplexing techniques, the output ports require refreshing for every scanning period.

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 Arizona

Selection of Integrated Audio Amplifiers - In a previous article I discussed building audio amplifiers using discrete transistors. While it is possible to build good audio amplifiers from discrete transistors, they are no match for the many audio amp IC's available to us. IC's offer many advantages including high efficiency, high gain, low standby current, low component count, small size and , of course, low cost. It is little wonder that audio amp IC's have replaced discrete transistors in most consumer electronic devices. While __ Designed by Mike Martell N1HFX

Serial Voltmeter using the PIC16C71 - Building a serial voltage meter to measure from 0 to 5 volts DC is actually pretty easy. Using MeLabs PicBasic, and Microsoft's Visual Basic Version 5 Pro. You need Visual Basic Pro version because you will have to use Basic's MSComm control. This control is not available in the Visual Basic 5 "Learning" Edition. The PIC16C71 simplifies the task even more by having a built in A/D converter. Pins 17, 18, 1, 2 are the analog inputs AIN0, AIN1, AIN2, AIN3 respectively.
