In this article we look at some new hardware that I recently purchased, in this case I was looking at the DsPic controllers. In this case we look at the  DsPIC30F4011 Lets have a look at the DsPIC30F4011 controller, here …

I bought the QL200 PIC development board a long time ago, its a great resource. This is the board 1) Switch between power supply thru USB or external power supply. 2) 128*64LCD and 16*2 LCD module 3) 32 LEDs are …

The ADXL335 is a small, thin, low power, complete 3-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3 g. It can measure the static acceleration of gravity in tiltsensing applications, as …

In the last post we looked at a magnetometer example this time we will look at the default accelerometer example The LSM303 3D Accelerometers/Magnetometer Models are a system-in-package featuring a 3D digital linear acceleration sensor and a 3D digital magnetic sensor. …

The LSM303 3D Accelerometers/Magnetometer Models are a system-in-package featuring a 3D digital linear acceleration sensor and a 3D digital magnetic sensor. These best-in-class eCompass devices enable superior PDR or unique use cases in emerging applications, including drones and personal navigation systems. …

In this example we connect a Chipkit Max32 to a L9110 fan module. This is a commonly found, basic low cost module which consists of an L9110 chip and a small motor attached. You need 4 connections between the arduino …

Another sensor reaches the desk, this time it is a Si1145 sensor, we will connect it to an Chipkit Max32 and test it out First the sensor The Si1145/46/47 is a low-power, reflectance-based, infrared proximity, ultraviolet (UV) index, and ambient …

The MMA7361L is a low power, low profile capacitive micromachined accelerometer featuring signal conditioning, a 1-pole low pass filter, temperature compensation, self test, 0g-Detect which detects linear freefall, and g-Select which allows for the selection between 2 sensitivities. Zero-g offset …

In this article we connect an ADXL337 accelerometer to a Chipkit Max32 The ADXL337 is a small, thin, low power, complete 3-axis accelerometer with signal conditioned voltage outputs. The product measures acceleration with a minimum full-scale range of ±3g. It can measure …

In this article we look at the TMP102 digital sensor and we will connect it up to a Chipkit MAx32 The TMP102 device is a digital temperature sensor ideal for NTC/PTC thermistor replacement where high accuracy is required. The device …
