Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Poor Man’s Digital Counter Using Pedometer
    There are many occasions when you may want to count something electronically.  Perhaps it is car traffic on a street or items moving down an assembly line.  It might be the number of times a machine is activated or maybe you want to count the number of people entering doorway.  Commercial counting modules do exist but if you want to use something cheaper, you can modify a pedometer to do much the same thing....

PIC Controlled DDS VFO 0 to 6 MHz -  .....
PIC debugging routine reads out binary numbers -  12/07/00 EDN-Design Ideas.The “burn and learn” method of firmware development excludes an in-circuit emulator and a serial port.With this method, it is common practice to use spare I/O pins on a mC as a debugging aid. By strategically placing instructions to set and clear these I/O pins in the code.....PDF contains multiple circuits, scroll to find this circuit..... [Design Idea by Brad Peeters, Theta Engineering Inc, Costa Mesa, CA]
PIC Digital Clock Timer -  This clock timer uses a PIC16F628 microcontroller to display 3 and 1/2 digit time and control an external load. The clock includes a calendar with leap year and optional daylight savings adjustments. The timer output can be set from 1 to 59 minutes and manually switched on and off. The clock also has a correction feature that allows an additional second to be added every so many hours to compensate for a slightly slow running oscillator. The oscillator uses a common 32.768 KHz watch crystal and the frequency can be adjusted slightly with the 24pF capacitor on the right side of the crystal..... [Bill Bowden]

PIC Humnuller -  This project is a portable (i.e. PC-less) hum rejecter (or more accurately, hum estimator) principally for VLF listening application. It employs the PIC’s ADC to sample the hum waveform, and performs a special type of filtering to isolate it. The hum waveform is then reproduced on an external DAC so that it can be subtracted from the VLF signal. The problem with hum is that it is rarely a single frequency. Switching power supplies, light dimmers.....(added 04/04/04)
PIC ICD -  (electronic design added 03/04/05)
PIC Logic Probe with Pulser -  (schematic / circuit added 10/02)
PIC Micro to Isa Bus Interface -  (electronic circuit added 4/05)
PIC Programmer -  As you can see, only a few standard elements are used and the hardware is very simple to build. So here are only a few words about hardware. Supply voltage can be either AC or DC. Voltage Vdd must be between 4.5 and 5.5 V. For this purpose integrated stabiliser 78L05 (Vdd=5V) is used. It has current limitation (protection) 100 mA and with this feature protects inserted PIC from damage in case something is wrong connected. Programming voltage 13V is provided with 78L08.....

PIC12c508 Night Light Saver -  .....
PIC12C509 Logic gate replacement for Nitrogen Filler -  (circuit / schematic design added 6/06)
PIC12F675 PIN PONG -  This project is based on ideas from Rickard's electronic projects page and David B. Thomas VCR Pong. However, I have developed the simplicity even further, eliminating most of the external components. Using microcontrollers with internal 4MHz clock generator there is no need for the xtal. The 12f675 part also operates on wide voltage range, and the regulator can be removed. For game controller, I plan on using the old Commodore 64 style paddless. They include firing buttons, which I plan on using as power switch and game reset. 16F675 has a low power sleep mode with 1nA current consumption, so I plan on using that to switch off. ….....
PIC12F675-Flashing LED -  Simple little circuit for testing PIC12F675 microcontroller. When you start learning a programming language like C++, Visual Basic or any other language your first step is to write a program that displays "Hello World" on a computer's monitor. When you start learning how to program PIC microcontrollers an equivalent to that is blinking a LED. ….(electronic schematic added 11/08)

PIC16F84 Alarm Clock -  This is an alarm clock I built. It was very effective during the sort time I used it, because I programmed it to play a very annoying tune through a speaker. I actualy started to wake up before the alarm went of, so other people int he house didn't wake up from the anoying pitches it played. The Jal sourcecode is available on my download page Features * Timekeeping using the pic's timer0 interrupt * 4x20 hd44780 compatible backlit lcd, displaying the time in big numbers (4x4 and 4x3) * Alarm sound tune using pwm * computer interface for synchronizing time with the web. * (maybe battery backup in case of a power outage.....) ….....
