Now for some practical stuff. I have created a simple breadboard solution for the driver circuit and hooked 7 Ledberg lamps up to NMOS transistors. The breadboard is quite a mess! whats in there is: on top a PIC16F688 MCU. below that is a 7805 linear regulator for supply. The …
The project description of this clock is a little bit backwards. The project has been active for some time but I haven’t come around to write about it yet. The clock has its intended use outside at a wakeboard park, where it would be very nice to know the clock …
Here is another short video. This time it is the dimmer circuit for the Ledberg lights in the bedroom. You might be able to see a small flicker in the brightness at low levels. That is due to the quick and dirty code that is running at the MCU right …
I have installed the first version of the dimmer and I must say – it works like a charm! I still need to find a suitable place for the pot-meter and ideally I would really like to have a rotary encoder installed instead. Partly because I haven’t interfaced a rotary …
I have shot a little video of the drawer light in action. Also, I have a single picture of the device installed on the shelf, behind where the drawer will go. As can be seen in the video, the drawer itself is made from fabric, which is one of the …
