SK28A – Temperature Sensor with Fixed Voltage Reference
LM35 are commonly used due to its simplicity and linearity which is 10mV per Celsius. The output of the LM35 is connected to an ADC input in a microcontroller, and the result is processed inside. In this project, we will use SK28A to demo the functionality of LM35 by using Fixed Voltage Reference
SK28A – RGB LED Mood Lamp
This project uses SK28A to show the RGB LED. The RGB LED is a special type of LED which can emit three coloured lights, which are the Red, Green and Blue, hence the RGB acronym. When one of these colours mixed together it will give you another new colour. By using the microcontroller’s PWM channels to drive the LED, you can control the intensity of each colour which can give you many shades of different colours.
Basic – Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
PWM is a powerful and commonly used technique for controlling the analog circuits or power to inertial electrical devices and made practical by a processor’s digital output such as the modern electronic power switches.
Graphic LCD (ST7920) Interfacing to SKPIC32
This tutorial is about the basic interfacing between Graphic LCD (ST7920-type controller) and SKPIC32.
Burning Arduino Bootloader with AVR USBASP
This article shows the simplest way to burn the Arduino’s bootloader fimware to the ATMEGA328P on arduino board.
Getting Started with SKPIC32
SKPIC32 is designed to support Microchip’s most advanced 32-bit PIC MCU (at the time of this writing). Unlike others SK series, Cytron has soldered 100-pin surface mount packages of PIC32 MCU, PIC32MX795F512L, on the board by default.
Simple Manual Robot Platform
Do you wish to make a manual robot like simple combat robot? To make a combat robot, there are few criteria that the robot must consist of such as main controller, transceiver, receiver, motors, and battery and of course the chassis with some weapons on it! Most people are not able to build the main controller, receiver and the transmitter as it involves circuit theory, power, and programming.
Connecting Your Circuitry to Different Programmer with UIC-A
Nowadays, ICSP (In Circuit Serial Programmer) is starting to gain popularity and Cytron also encourage users to use ICSP instead of using universal programmer (where user needs to unplug the microcontroller) or bootloader. This article explains how to program the PIC MCU by using ICSP.
Mobile Robot Platform
A mobile robot that is capable of auto navigating a path to a predefine destination and complete multiple tasks given such as goods transition, mobile security, mobile tour guide. It can even perform as a university research platform. Why MRP? MRP make you focus on your application which you no need to reinvent the robot hardware or redoing some basic programming again. MRP has do it all for you! Thus, it saves lots of time for investor.
What can you do with 4 RC servos?
Yes, it’s really hard to think of a robot with only 4 RC servos without any other actuator. The most common robot is wheel robot with only 2 360 degree rotate RC servos. But, actually you can notice that there is other examples of robot that build from 4 RC servos. One of them is Biped Walker. Thus, today i try to build this robot to test the performance. Another reason is recently we have come out with new product called IFC-RS08 which stand for RC Servo Card (8 Channel RC Servo Controller) and would like to build a application from this product. The construction are pretty easy if compare with other 6 RC Servo Biped. I use roughly 3-4 hours to successfully build and program this robot.
