Remote Control System   This simple system that I'm working on is based on Microchip's PIC16F84 microcontroller in heart of the remote control unit and PC as master. Currently I've developed the remote control unit with 9 inputs/outputs (I use units with 4 relay outputs and 5 digital inputs) and RS232 serial communication with PC running host software. Using RS485, greater number of remote control units can be connected to the PC (the number depends on tranceiver used). PC master periodically polls remote control units and reads status of their inputs. Control of relay outputs is executed aperiodically. The master software is developed in Borland Delphi for Win-platform, and in C using Gtk Toolkit for Linux with X-Window. 

 

MicroPLC  A small PLC designed using PIC16F84, with 5 digital inputs and  4 relay outputs  (the same module as above). PLC can be programmed through serial RS-232 port, and it recognises basic logical commands of STL: A, O, AN, ON, A(, O(, S, R, SU, RU, =. The program is kept in data EEPROM and its maximum length is 68 instructions. Inputs are optocupler-isolated, and voltage levels of inputs can be chosen by resistors. The software for PC is developed in  Borland Delphi.

 

Double timer module  with adjustment range 0-20 sec, and with t1<=t2. The module contains two microcontrollers PIC16F84. The first microcontroller implements all functions of timer, reads inputs and controls two relay outputs, and the current setting of time sends through serial link to the other microcontroller which shows that setting on display with three digits. 

 

Electronic Morse Code Keyer which besides common capabilities of electronic keyer  has capability of keying text from the computer, using custom terminal program. You can look at the article in Bosnian language about this keyer which I published in "Radio T9", our radio amateur magazine. The file keyer.hex for this keyer you can find here

 

Inverter 12V/220V (UPS) with microcontroller, which has capability of detection of power supply outage, and empty battery, as well as RS-232 communication  with computer, which enables to shut it down. The project is in development phase.

RS232/RS485 converter Designed in order to provide connection for multiple remote control units to serial port of the ordinary PC.

Parallel Port Control Module  This is a very simple module that uses PC's parallel port for 8 digital outputs and 5 digital inputs.
