High Resolution RGB LED Color Mixing

This application note demonstrates color mixing using the PIC12F1572 MCU. The PIC12F1572 microcontroller features three 16-bit pulse-width modulators (PWMs), which allow precise control over each RGB LED, allowing smooth transitions even at low-brightness/luminosity levels. Development efforts are supported by the following features of this demonstration board. • ICSP™ programming connector • EUSART bus tie-in points • USB or battery powered • Multiple test points A color mixing software routine allows developers to specify colors in xyY format with the PIC® device performing color mixing calculations.

Snow weighing scale

Snowfall is typically measured in inches. However, when it comes to shoveling snow off the driveway, your would probably like to know how dense the snow has accumulated because that is what going to determine how much effort and time you will need to complete the task. This instructable shows how to modify a simple digital weighing scale to construct a snow monitoring scale which could be a nice addition to your DIY weather station.
