Single processor pin controls on/off function - 29-Apr-04 EDN-Design Ideas - A recent Design Ideas prompted me to offer the simpler solution that I used in a recent project (Reference 1].  We needed a momentary power switch with processor supervision.  This supervision would allow the processor to delay a power-down request from a press of the power switch until all routines exited properly Design by Michael Sirkis, Radio Systems, Logan Township, NJ

Single switch serves dual duty in small, microprocessor-based systE - M - 03/30/06  EDN-Design Ideas - Low-cost, easy-to-use design allows monitoring of peripherals, sensors Design by Steve Hageman, Windsor, CA

Single wire connects microcontrollers - 10/22/98 EDN-Design Ideas -    (File has several circuits, scroll to find this one)  Low-cost µCs, such as Motorola's 68HC705 Series, offer great simplicity at the expense of some useful functions—notably, serial data transmission.  Unlike their predecessors, these µCs do not have serial communication interfaces    (SCIs) , serial peripheral interfaces    (SPIs) , or simple serial I/O ports    (SIOPs) .  This method describes how you can overcome this deficiency by creating an asynchronous serial interface through µC software Design by Abel Raynus, Armitron International, Melrose, MA

Smart Card Reader & Programmer - A Programmable Continuity Tester__ SiliconChip

Smart NiMH battery charger based on Attiny85 - After seeing various online projects, especially based on the PIC microcontroller, I decided to make a charger for NiMH batteries driven by an ATtiny85.  Why we need a microcontroller to manage charging a battery? The answer is very simple … The most economic charger that on the market, regulate the charge based on a timer, that is if I charge a 2500mAh battery for example, they provide a charging current of 250mAh, keeping the charge for eg 14 hours  (a part of the energy will be lost, so 10 hours would not be enough) .

Smart Radio Modem for Microcontrollers - This low-cost project will enable your Picaxe, Stamp or other microcontroller to communicate without wires.__ SiliconChip

SMS remote control v3.0 - This is the the 3rd version of the famous SMS remote control.  The older T10s cell phone has been replaced by the GM-47 GSM module by allowing you to find easier this module.  Moreover, 8 inputs were added for collecting data from switches  (windows, doors, limit switches and more) .  The SMS is now protected by a password.   __ Designed by © Vassilis Serasidis

Soft Starter for Power Tools - Stop that dangerous kick-back...__ SiliconChip

Soft-Start Module - Simple circuit that reduces surge current on start of an induction motor.   __ Designed by Wichit Sirichote

SoftStarter: Taming the Surge Current Menace! - Are you alarmed by the juicy "splattt" from your mains power point when you plug in something like a large plasma TV set? Do you some-times burn out light and power point switches because of the surge currents at switch-on? Or perhaps you occasionally trip circuit breakers because of appliance switch-on surge currents.  This is a very common problem but there is a simple cure: our SoftStarter.  It tames those nasty surge currents while having no effect on appliance performance.__ SiliconChip

Solar Charger - PIC Project  The previous version of this device used pulse width modulation  (PWM) to control the power from the five solar panels to charge the battery bank.  Under full sun conditions the MOSFETS got a bit warm and the whole unit radiated a lot of RFI.  This design uses a set of relays, one for each panel.  If the controller decides the battery voltage is too low, it engages another relay;.)  __ Designed by Luhan Monat - Mesa Arizona

Solar Energy Meter - Simple project that turns 8051SBC to be a dedicated instrument for measuring the amount of energy produced by photovoltaic power system.   __ Designed by Wichit Sirichote

Solar Panel Charge Controller using PICAXE Microcontroller - The following is the PICAXE version of the Arduino Solar Panel Charge Controller.  While the electronics is identical, the programming was very different.  The main problem for the PICAXE was the inability of the software to do compound 'if' statements: if  ((x > y) &  (y < CP) &  (x > CP)) .  I had to break that into three different statements then had to add a fourth. __ Designed by Lewis Loflin

Solar Powered Wireless Weather Station - It's based on PICAXE processor and "wirelessly" transmits temperature and humidity data to a receiver up to 200 metres away.__ SiliconChip

Solar Recorder T - The PIC Solar recorder for daily insolation measurement.   __ Designed by Wichit Sirichote
