MM74C922N-based encoded matrix keypad

Posted on May 17, 2014 by R-B 5 comments

Matrix keypads are an excellent way of providing user input data into microcontroller-based systems. Keypads find applications in remote controls, standalone data-loggers, security systems, door entry systems, calculators, microwave ovens, etc. They are usually implemented as pushbutton switches arranged in a row and column matrix format to reduce the number of I/O connections. For example, a 16-switch keypad is arranged in a 4 X 4 matrix format requiring 8 I/O connections. A pressed key is detected and identified by scanning the keypad to look for a short circuit condition between a row and a column wire. The keypad scanning can

Breakout module for Si7005 temperature and humidity sensor

Posted on March 5, 2014 by R-B 4 comments

The Si7005 is a digital relative humidity and temperature sensor from Silicon Labs. It integrates fully factory-calibrated humidity and temperature sensor elements with an analog to digital converter, signal processing and an I2C host interface in a single monolithic CMOS sensor IC. The Si7005 is available in a “non hand-assembly-friendly” 4×4 mm QFN package, which requires reflow soldering to mount it on a PCB. This breadboard friendly breakout board is designed to make your prototype project with the Si7005 sensor much easier. It can be used with PIC, Arduino, or any other microcontroller development platform through an I2C bus. The power

Revised dual power supply boards are back in stock

Posted on February 22, 2014 by R-B Leave a comment

We have added a 500mA PTC fuse to our dual (5.0V/3.3V) power supply regular board in the new version. This power supply regulator board provides constant 3.3V and 5.0V outputs from an unregulated DC input (6.5-10V). The DC outputs are accessible through a 3-pin terminal block. It is small in size (1.9″X1.0″) and can be easily enclosed inside a project box along with the project circuit board. The board doesn’t have any ON/OFF switch, because it may not be useful if this board is enclosed inside the project box. We have included two through-hole pads on the board if you want

Rapid Development Board for PIC12F Series Microcontrollers

Posted on November 5, 2013 by R-B 2 comments

The 12F series of PIC microcontrollers are handy little 8-pin devices designed for small embedded applications that do not require too many I/O resources, and where small size is advantageous. These applications include a wide range of everyday products such as hair dryers, electric toothbrushes, rice cookers, vacuum cleaners, coffee makers, and blenders. Despite their small size, the PIC12F series microcontrollers offer many advanced features including wide operating voltage, internal programmable oscillator, 4 channels of 10-bit ADC, on-board EEPROM memory, on-chip voltage reference, multiple communication peripherals (UART, SPI, and I2C), PWM, and more. Today we are introducing a new development
