HI boys, please, can you help me? To this day I use optocoupler PC817 to interfacing atmel or pic input with other devices - switches, relay contacts, etc. Now I make redesign of pcb and need smaller size. pc817 is very big. I need some another circuit such as transistor, zener diodes etc. Connection will be same - switch NO NC, or contact of
The ring detection circuit is working perfectly. I checked the output of the opto-coupler. I am having quite a few problems with interfacing the 56k modems to the microcontroller. In the past, I had some old 9600 baud modems that worked perfectly with the micro-controllers. Now I had to swithover to 56k modems but operate them on the same 9600ba
how do we go about interfacing an analog input into the microcontroller ADC pin? - current limiting? (depending on the max current allowed at the pin) - capacitors to filter out noise? - i've seen a circuit that before going into the pin, the analog signal goes through a resistor (quite small about 22 Ohm). THe resistor is said to provide "dampi
Hi. I do ZCD for AC Power lines. I read application note of Microchip AN521. This application note explain for interfacing AC Power lines directely connect with Microchip I/O Pin. My Problem is they told Phase connect with I/O pin of microchip but they cannot mention what about connection nutral. Is it required to connection of Nutral .?
Your post says that this is a "Sensor interfacing circuit" but I actually don't know where is your sensor !!! If I'm correct then I guess the sinusoidal function generator represents the sensor, that's why you mentioned it's voltage changes from 0.6V to 40V. The only thing I couldn't figure is how may the sensor change with a frequency of 100Hz?
give me the idea about isolation circuit i mean any means to isolate the main circuit while interfacing with power line normally for power line communication to transmit/receive data isolation circuit may be any form of transformer
hi all, i'd like to find out more about this and would appreciate any help. the ignition (rpm) signal is at 12v and is a square wave signal. what would be the best way to interface this signal to a microcontroller? do i have to use a comparator or adc or some other way? thanks for any help.

Hi everybody, I'm new in avr programming, and here is my problem: I would like to sample a dc source who varies from 0V to 15 Volts, and we know that the adc of most mcu don't accept a voltage higher than 5V. The question is how to interface this voltage to my ATmega16. Second problem: Is it possible to isolate this dc source from the mcu lik
Hello, I am trying to interface some 5V TTL signals through an optocoupler to a microchip PIC16C55A microcontroller. I need to calculate the current to drive my opto with so that I won't damage the input of my micro. When I went to the datasheet for the PIC, I found that: Max. current into an in
I've done some experiments with linear optocouplers. Although Perkin-Elmer, not Vishay, but results weren't actually that good. The signal coupled drifted heavily with temperature. Also reaching steady state took quite a long time. If you are looking for something easier, i'd suggest getting some standalone ADC or a small microcontroller which ha
If you just want to send from the 5V to the 3.3V, then use a potential divider. The first method on this page: ---------- Post added at 19:32 ---------- Previous post was at 19:28 ---------- To
please tell me how to interface single phase energy meter with 16f73 via optocoupler
If you only want to connect the output to your microcontroller, you do not need to worry about the current. The current specification is for those designer who want to drive a load directly. A pull down resistor will be more than enough to interface to your microcontroller. Some standard ways of interfacing npn or pnp transistor. w
Hi everyone i am working on project in which i have to fetch data from a 3 phase ac power supply and monitor it and correspondingly control a water pump depending upon the power supply status. Please guide me about the sensors and the controllers that i can use . Thanking you in advance :)
interfacing digital devices like DA's with optocoupler's is sometimes a little bit tricky if you want to realise high data throughput. in order to save current, you normally have to make a compromise between the rise-time (fast with lowest value of pullup resistor, where optocoupler transistor output doesnt saturate) and power dissipation (...)

Let´s try it now. The opto is very expensive and I had some problems, maybe a good selected capacitor with the 680K resistance could improve the circuit. thanks insteed of simple opto why not you used MOC3020 or MOC3040 the 3040 come with built in zero cross and suitable for interfacing and controlling 220vac direct fr

You're not the first person to ask questions like this here - is this a lab project by any chance? Anyway, see this thread for Java libraries for parallel port access: Check here for a parallel port doc: And here for some basic parallel port in
The ratio of this CT is 1:2500, so does that mean if i feed 5 Amperes i'll get 2mA current? and what does these mounting pin means....does it mean only ffor mounting on pcb and no interfacing with circuit?
Hi First of all, it would be good to analyze the signal you have, I mean does it only take values of 5.8V and 5.2V? doesnt it take values such as 5.4, 5.5 or 5.6V? If the answer for my second question is yes, then you need to define a threshold of your signal for which it can be represented by "0" or "1" by the TTL circuit. The reason for this,
Hello again The ICD2 clone works fine with pic18Fs (5V). It should work with 3.3V pics but it doesn't.:cry: It has 74HC/HCT125 3-state buffer/line driver and I'm interfacing it right. With a scope, I can see activity on DAT and CLK lines, but I always get the same: Invalid target device id (expected=0x445, read=0x0) I'm trying to program a PIC
do u want to measure the voltage and frequency of the supply using microcontroller and display it in LCD or computer. Better you use a step down transformer. I had given some tutorials how to do it using parallel port of computer in my book MY EXPERIENCE IN PARALLEL PORT interfacing you can get it from yahoo group-booksbybibin groups.yah
Hi Izua You would definetly need buffer ICs for the interfacing. The LPT port cannot give current more than a few milli amps. So it cannot drive the 7seg leds direct. You can connect the bcd to 7seg converter( 4 pins) and use a 3 to 8 demux or 4 to 16 demux to do the scanning of the 7 segments. in any case the 8 digital outputs can be comfort
I am quite interested in your topic..Could you post the schematic? I have done microcontroller interfacing to 7-segment led display n control using assembly language...I feel like want to try control through my pc...how? Can teach me...Thanks
hi. the paralle port is very limited as a current source. It you overload it, you will damage your motherboard. try using an isolation circuit to prevent loading. The ULN is good motor driver but you have to ensure proper isolation. interfacing problem is a common in this kind of setup. better check the data sheets for the parallel port and your de
:D Hi,I am also working with stepper motor(Bi polar) interfacing with dsPIC30f2010. To use optocoupler, first connect the output of MCU/logic CKT to optocoupler (MCT2E)through inverter and then the collector of opto coupler to input of ULN2003.
Hi, There is quite a lot on this topic in the PC Programming and interfacing section of this board headed as a C++ Question by Licifre, in my post here is a listing of how to drive a 4 phase stepper motor from the parallel port of a PC, it would only require minor mods to the state machine logic to drive a 5 phase device. The parallel port actual
I am wondering about that small oscillation too. Is there a website that you can recommend when it comes to interfacing the circuit with the PC through a USB cable and the use of ADC? By the way since all ECG signal has some negative peaks ... how should I do my ADC? In addition to that I was told that I could use a comparator and after getting

For my final year project i wish to design something that incorporates the following things. 1. 5 devices can be turned ON/OFF using the wall switch (230v AC input). 2. the same 5 devices can also be turned ON/OFF using relays interfaced to a micro controller. The same micro controller should also be able to detect if a device has been turne
Microchip's document "interfacing to AC Power Lines" showed a series 5M ohm resistor from 120v AC power line to PIC External Interrupt port. Peak current calculation- Ipeak = 162V/5 M Ω = 32 ?A This 32 ?A current has been said as a safety margin of the PIC16C5X. But I want to know why such extremely low current is used here. Max current
Hi, Yes, I recommend series controller with PWM. I haven't found any complete document with circuits and stuff with PWM and microcontroller. I'm developing mine on info I'm getting from various sources. For PC interfacing, it should be easy if you use RS232. If you use USB, it's more user-friendly but it gets tougher for you as the developer. I thi
What are the hardware precaution to be taken for interfacing a PC serial port (rs232) with a microcontroller ? , is there a need for using an optocoupler for isolating the micro from the serial line ?

hello amplitude (level) of the signal could be very low if the speed is low. Amplitude=f(frequency) Maybe you have to amplifie by 10 or 100 the signal before to use a trigger to get square vave. Some industrial inductive sensor can deliver a ON:Off status in front of teehs of gear I use it for my appart's bike. Even with an hall effect sensor
Thanks Adnan Merter i tried CD4010 Buffered IC for that work and its working on the parallel port with an interfacing card having 7812 and 7805 regulators for the power source and only ground matched with the parallel port. What do u suggest is there a better option or Opto Isolation is more better.
Good choice. Zigbee would be perfect, and you can poll at any time for the status. You may need some microcontroller knowledge to use this however (I'm only familiar with the Jennic modules - maybe there are some that require less 'interfacing'?).
