Compact USB Development Kit PIC18F14K50

The Low Pin Count USB Development Kit provides an easy, low cost way to evaluate the functionality of Microchip's PIC18F14K50 and PIC18F13K50 20-pin USB microcontrollers. Kit contains the hardware, software, and code examples. This is what i would use if i have to make a Quick USB Voltmeter or Ammeter.

If you want to do such a project, use Opto-Isolation for High-Energy circuits for Safety. The Analog Value from Attenuator, Shunt, Current Transformer is amplified and converted to frequency then thru opto-coupler reaches uC. This protects PC and User.Be very careful in High Voltage and High Current. Use proper transducers and Isolation to Protect man and machine.

OpenServo - Digital servo for Robotics

OpenServo is an open community-based project started by Mike Thompson. Low-cost digital servo for robotics being the goal. New code and hardware.

OpenServo - Digital servo for Robotics

Look at what RobotFuzz has created with OpenServo

Some features:

  • High precision positioning
  • Advanced curve based motion profile engine
  • Open source design and software
  • Back EMF speed sensing
  • High speed 20MHZ design

OpenServo Version 3 hardware now available.

OpenServo is a replacement for a standard servo's control electronics, giving you more control over the servo's functions.
