EPE Toolkit
Mk. 3 for PICmicros
EPE's programming aid for Microchip PIC microcontrollers has now been
enhanced by popular demand! Compatible with our new Windows-based Toolkit
TK3 software (see the extra 16-page supplement in the November 2001 issue).
Suits PIC™ 16x84, 16F873-874 and 8-pin devices. Now you have the
ultimate all-in-one solution for developing the hardware and software
associated with Microchip PICprojects. Next month we walk you through
our new Windowssoftware - pure bliss for PICfans everywhere! Like most
of our projects, our software will be FREE for download.
In March
2002 issue (P.200) a revised version of the software V1.2 was announced,
downloadable from the FTP
site.
Camcorder
Power Supply
- enjoy more filming and playback time from your 6V-9·6V camcorder
with our switched-mode power supply. Using a high-capacity lead acid battery,
our portable design has a mains/ 12V integral charger and provides some
11 hours' continuous operation.
2
Valve (Vacuum Tube) Short Wave Radio Receiver- our simple nostalgic design will delight and intrigue younger readers and all those interested in exploring vacuum tube radio reception. Utilising two DF91 tubes, it covers approx. 5MHz - 13MHz short wave. Unlike its high-voltage predecessors, our design runs safely from a number of 9V batteries. Enjoy building and learn at the same time, with our novel design!
Perpetual
Projects- three more novel projects round off our interesting mini-series of solar-powered projects. Thanks to the large capacity solar-charged GoldCap, each project charges up during the day and will run "for ever"! This month - Gate Sentinel, Bird Scarer and Who's In - Who's Out Register. Don't forget to check previous months' issues for more intriguing designs!
Also in this issue, Ingenuity Unlimited (readers' own circuit ideas), Interface offers you a single chip 32 bit output port. New Technology Update outlines thermocouple-based accelerometers. Circuit Surgery tells you how to calculate the size of heatsinks. Net Work — The Internet Page — examines the Sircam Worm.
