TV Remote Jammer

This was a fun project. I got the idea for it at a website (I cannot remember which at the moment). The idea is simple: You make a circuit that sends out an IR (infrared) signal to the TV with the same frequency at which the TV remote operates, essentially ”masking” or “jamming” the signal coming from the [...]


Logic Probe

Once again, I decided to build my own equipment instead of buying it for a lot more. This time it’s a logic probe. It uses a 12F PIC to detect when a signal is high (1) or low (0). Being that it has a lot of pins and only one is needed for the probe, [...]


Learning to use PICs

Throughout my undergraduate career I focused entirely on analog circuits. Now that I started this hobby, there was no avoiding digital and to be honest, I felt horrible that I had a bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering and I knew very little about the digital side of things. Because of this I set out to [...]
