    [SOLVED] How to measure speed of wind and its direction using micro-controller??

    Actually after hitting google with the Gill setup it's easy.. **broken link removed** Simple enough idea, and using differential both directions zeros out a lot of other variables. https://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__8508__Turnigy_Mini_Anemometer_Wind_Meter_.html...

    2716 EPROM replacement with diode matrix?

    What you're talking should work, but sounds like a hot mess. What's the speed required, or is speed even an issue, just that it decodes.. Take a small PIC or similar with enough I/O for the ins and outs, and just a simple look up table and put the data out continuously. It will likely be...

    Buck Boost converter

    Go to ebay. Search lm2577, sort by price, and start looking around. Also do the same for lm2596. These $2 and $3 modules are cheaper than what you can get the parts for. They aren't generally quite 3A at 40V, but to give you an idea on similar. In fact search both 'step up' and then 'boost'...

    measuring negative voltage with microcontroller

    There is another method. Put a 3.3V zener diode, bottom to the -1V to 0V signal line. It then goes 3.3V 'up'. Attach a 1K or 10K resistor from the top to the 5V line. The bottom of the diode rides along with your signal, since the diode drops 3.3V, so the top side tracks at 2.3V to 3.3V...

    Multi-nRF24L01+ Pic Project

    Have gotten mine in, and been looking around a little more. They are a lot more sophisticated than the other simple transmitters, so more to do setup but less to program after that.. Several things.. You had the pipes in your first post. You probably don't really have to have them transmit...

    PIC16F84A can't get a bit out of it, any example hex?

    OK lol figured you'd get to here, and it not working.. :) Here's a simple pseudocode example for how to get it working, it can take forever if you're trying to 'fix' an already built complex routine. Of course set up the DDR and use the commands for this. Just keep copying the block, and do...

    PIC16F84A can't get a bit out of it, any example hex?

    Just a note that it's very common for 44780 based LCD code to be buggy. In fact every piece of LCD code I've ever looked at thoroughly was incorrect in some aspect or another. Everyone just copies code from somewhere else, almost never going back to the original specs for the timing etc. And...

    Multi-nRF24L01+ Pic Project

    Ha, have 10 of these on the way myself, for more normal transmitting but still funny.. Recognize collisions etc will make it where you can't really use the RF to tell who actually pressed the button first. Say 1 and 2 collide, then 3 presses and gets through, 3 looks like the winner when...

    Need Set of Eyes to Find Error - PIC18F4550

    Ok while what you've said here is correct, being apparently new it's hard to tell if you've got it all exactly right so may need a little more.. Say you equate Test_Case to address dec 64. Then you load your b'11111111' there. So there's decimal 255 in location 64. It is the instruction that...

    Why Specific patern of PWM appear as AC signal to load?

    duty cycle formula in pic16f73 You really need to read all of this, then go back and read my first post again.. They aren't getting away with anything, symmetrical is right. If you're outputting symmetrical and seeing different, then it's your code, other elements in your circuit, or the...

    Why Specific patern of PWM appear as AC signal to load?

    pwm signal for ac load While you're past some of this already, there is a simple answer to this. A sine wave is a sine wave. A sine wave around 5V has exactly the same AC component as a sine wave around 0V. Block the 5V DC part and you'll end up with essentially the same AC part, assuming...

    Electromagnetic interference on PIC16F877A?

    pic18f corrupt mclr Possible problem with the clock. Floating clock can do a ton of stuff like erase PICs by clocking in blank data, etc etc. On your top picture I only see the little cap at the power pins, where are the caps for the crystal? On the bottom picture, it looks like you may...

    Digital tachometer from 1 to 2500 RPM with speed alarm HELP!

    Re: Digital tachometer from 1 to 2500 RPM with speed alarm H Don't be so locked in mentally to 60/min. 60/min is a totally arbitrary relationship in the first place, and has little place in a microcontroller. If you don't need RPS you shouldn't be doing it by seconds. Regardless of 60 or...
