Over
the years I've built various projects, so I thought I'd start to provide details
of any recent ones that I think could be useful to others. The first is actually
the PIC processor board for Cybot, which is detailed under the Cybot
pages.
The
second is an IR remote control tester. Many years ago I built a simple one using
an IR photodiode, a couple of transistors, and an LED - it was so designed that
it didn't require an ON/OFF switch, but it was susceptible to sunlight during
bright weather. This original design has been drawn out by a couple of work experience
students, and taken to Chesterfield Technical College, so perhaps a
number more
have been made. But I decided it was time for an update, in particular I wanted
one which looked good, so I could make it available for use in the shop at work.
This design fully meets that requirement, and I have now built a total of seven,
one for the Workshop, two for the two outside engineers, two for the two shops
at work, one for use at a shop in Spain!, and lastly one for myself - it's this
last one which is pictured in this project, although all are identical.
The third
is a forthcoming project, I'm still deciding actually what to do with it, and it
may well expand to more than one project. It's a PIC based digital to analogue
converter, with a PIC based LCD display module. There's a couple of pictures of
the prototype, and I'll be adding circuits and software listings as it
progresses. LCD Meter.
