Phone Intercepter 1 - PIC Project This device connects between the phone line, an answering machine, and your phones. When a phone call comes in, the answering machine picks up the call and informs the caller to enter the access code to ring the phone or to wait for the beep and leave a message. if the correct code is entered, the answering machine is immediately disconnected while the device generates phone ringing tones on an external speaker. Picking up any phone causes the device to return to its initial state. __ Designed by Luhan Monat - Mesa Arizona
Phone Interceptor 2 - PIC Project This unit is an upgrade of the previous phone call interceptor. instead of using an answering machine to provide the outgoing message and recording functions, it uses the iSD4004 (from Windbond Electronics). The iSD4004 records up to 8 minutes of audio. I use the first several seconds for outgoing message prompts. The remaining time is used to record up to 30 messages, depending on message length. __ Designed by Luhan Monat - Mesa Arizona

PIC (with source cord) Hexbot robot - The HEXBOT is constructed from 12 (cheap) model airplane servos. Each leg moves laterally on one servo and vertically on the other. Conveniently, this type of servo runs on 5 volts. These servos need only a specific width pulse to position it. Once it arrives at its target location, it draws very little power (about 10 ma). __ Designed by Luhan Monat-Mesa Arizona

PIC NiCad Battery Charger - This cheap and easy to build NIC d/NiMH
Battery Charger is suitable for automatically charging a wide range of batteries for many applications. Proper chargers are usually expensive and cheap chargers supplied with the original equipment often incorrectly charge the cells and dramatically shorten their life __ Designed by Peter Hayles
Pin Diode Based Fire Sensor - This is an ultra-sensitive fire sensor that activates an alarm when it detects fire. in this circuit, a sensitive PIN diode is used as a fire sensor for longer-range fire detection. it detects visible light and infrared (iR) in the range of 430 nm – 1100 nm. Visible light and iR from the fire activate the sensor to trigger the alarm. it also detects sparks in the mains wiring and if these persist, it gives a warning alarm. The anode can easily be identified from the top-view flat surface of the photodiode. A small solder point to which a thin wire is connected is the anode and the other one is the cathode terminal.__ Electronics Projects for You
Plant Minder - PIC Project The PIC 12F615 was perfect for this project. it runs off a 3 volt lithium cell. The unit is self calibrating. Just wait until your plant needs watering, insert the battery, and place in the soil. This sets the threshold for sensing dry soil. When the soil dries out to this point, the unit begins 'chirping' about every 20 minutes. __ Designed by Luhan Monat - Mesa Arizona
Plus-Minus 5V Supply From 9V Battery - Op-amps require dual-polarity supply for proper operation. When working with battery supply, it becomes difficult to get dual power supply for the op-amps. Presented here is a simple circuit that provides ±5V from a 9V battery. This is one of the interesting projects among Electrical Engineering Project ideas. Op-amps require dual-polarity supply for proper operation. When working with battery supply, it becomes difficult to get dual power supply for the op-amps.__ Electronics Projects for You

Power Controller - PIC Project This device controls the power to 8 individual outlets. There are 16 power levels available for each one. Connection is made via 9600 baud serial using a din-5 connector. A single byte sets the power level for any of the 8 channels. Also, a global command sets all the power levels at once. __ Designed by Luhan Monat - Mesa Arizona
Power supply for a car tube Amplifier - To minimize heat loss on any transistor, I use two pass FETs. in the car, input voltage is either 11.5-12.5V (engine off) or 13.5-14.5V (engine on). in the first case, T1 and T2 are fully ON, no need for heatsink. in the second case - T1 is OFF, T2 ON, all voltage and power excess is released across R5, no heatsink necessary for FETs. However, when input is in between (1314V) - T1, in a linear regulator mode, may dissipate up to 3W (for a 3A load current). __ Contact Klausmobile Tube Tester Files

Precision Portable Voltage Reference - it has been said that a man with one watch knows what time it is, but a man with two watches is never sure. The same can be said for a person who has more than one voltmeter. in my situation, I have several voltmeters in each of two different locations a third of the way around the world apart. The best solution would be to send the meters to NiST traceable calibration labs, __ Designed by Dick Cappels

Programming adaptor for 8 & 28 pin AVR Microcontrollers using ISP - Okits not pretty, but its practical. The 20 pin connector at the far right is left over from a diffferent project and is no longer used. This adaptor lets me program 8 or 20 pin DiP devices using the in-System Programmer (iSP) described in Atmel's AVR910 application note. This circuit provides power and clocks for the part to be programmed and power to the iSP circuit. When programming 8 pin devices, the part is positioned toward pins 1 and 20 of the socket such that the 8 pins of the chip occupy the pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 17, 18, 19, abd 20 of the programming socket. in the case of an 8 pin part being programmed, the SPST switch that grounds pin 4 must to be closed. Conversely, when programming a 20 pint part, the switch on pin 4 must be open so the crystal can be used for the clock for the part being programmed. __ Designed by Dick Cappels
