As cars have become more sophisticated electronically, understanding the CAN bus that forms the backbone of automotive digital systems has become more and more important for hacking cars. Inexpensive ...

[Voltlog] has been hacking away at the CAN bus console of his VW Golf for quite some time now. Presumably, for his projects, the available CAN bus interface boards are lacking in some ways, either ...

The simple project was designed to interface a PIC16F877 microcontroller to the USB bus using the FTDI FT245 USB FIFO device. A single sided PCB with only one surface mount device, pertaining to the ...

This is a simple circuit which shows how to interface 16×2 LCD to PIC18F4550 microcontroller which is of family PIC18F. Interfacing LCD to PIC is not different from interfacing to 8051. The basic ...

A way to apply the output of certain sensors to a TTL/CMOS-level iput on a microcontroller. Sensor must have an NPN output stage that can support a pullup to its power rail. With just a few components ...

USB interfaces are everywhere today, with low cost flash memory drives and all kinds of USB peripherals readily available. But these are very much focused on the PC market. Attempt to make use of ...
