ESD Gun
Here's a circuit from EDN that lets you build your Electrostatic Discharge Gun! Use it wisely......
Simple PIC16F84 Programmer
Here's a simple circuit that will allow you to program the popular PIC16F84 microprocessor from Microchip. It's so small, it will fit inside the shell of a DB25 connector....
Bipolar Stepper Motor Controller
Here's a little circuit that simplifies interfacing to bipolar stepper motors. It's similar to a common unipolar design available on the internet. However, I modified it to use a pair of MOSFET-based H-bridges....
PIC-based Motor Controller
On these pages, I will introduce a control circuit for stepper motor. The software of this project is adapted to Embedded Systems(Lab13) for 2002 of Cleveland State University....
