Lock Down USB Ports via a PIC Based Smart Card Reader

What i am making here is a USB lock with smartcard key. The idea is that a phonecard reader made with a PIC micro will be able to store a number of different phonecards into memory. Whenever one of these cards is inserted into the slot, it will activate a 4-ports USB On/Off switch. If the card is removed, the USB ports will be de-activated. [ ]

USB Enabled Remote Control

The objective of a remote control is to have the ability to operate a device from a certain distance. Nevertheless, remote controls usually are in places where we need to move around to find. This makes the remote totally useless as you may have used that time and energy to operate the device personally. If we take into account the limited reach that remote have, along with the fact that they are battery operated, we have an obsolete technology. All this can be fixed by developing a new remote control system. A lot of designs have been completed on systems that operate by clapping. But they have some disadvantages. Such as the fact that they work over only one sound or command. Another fact is that daily activities must be interrupted to give a command. A whistling command system has been developed to control domestic devices. It works by detecting the sound peaks that are uniquely produced by whistles. Sound from each whistle is processed to give the order to the device....

USB Function Generator Based on AD9833

One tool that I’ve been missing at my lab at home is function generator. They tend to be a bit expensive, so I haven’t bought one. I thought this might be a good opportunity to try and make one myself. I found a pretty common DDS (direct digital synthesis) chip, called AD9833. Then just strap a USB-enabled AVR micro there and maybe some analog electronics. This board doesn’t do any of the special analog magic to allow for variable amplitude or offset for the signal. The output is fixed to 0-4v. I’m planning to make another completely analog board for adjusting amplitude and offset.

USB Power Injector

Create USB PowerInjector for GSM Modem Maximizing and stabilization USB voltage . Sometimes we need also to extend the USB cable connection. Usually cable so the store is no more or less than one meter. If the cable is good quality automatic reduction of voltage and current remain so flash media or a modem to function remained normal. Sometimes the two media are not readable because of a decline in flow due to cable resistance is very large, so that lost power wasted. USB injector circuit If this happens often flash or USB modem off often error-disconnected. To overcome this decrease in voltage performance. The principle is quite very simple. You simply "inject" is indeed voltage VCC 5VDC needed a modem or a flash. Finishing USB inject After using the USB power injector is expected regardless of the length of external cable fixed voltage maximum. The principle works is simple enough original 5VDC voltage of the CPU / your computer off and then injected...

USB Powered PIC Programmer Circuit Diagram

This simple circuit can be used to program the PIC16F84 and similar "flash memory" type parts. It uses a cheap 555 timer IC to generate the programming voltage from a +5V rail, allowing the circuit to be powered from a computer’s USB port. The 555 timer (IC1) is configured as a free-running oscillator, with a frequency of about 6.5kHz. The output of the timer drives four 100nF capacitors and 1N4148 diodes wir-ed in a Cockroft-Walton voltage multiplier configuration. USB-Powered PIC Programmer Circuit Diagram The output of the multiplier is switched through to the MCLR/Vpp pin of the PIC during programming via a 4N28 optocoupler. Diodes ZD1 and D5 between the MCLR/Vpp pin and ground clamp the output of the multiplier to about 13.6V, ensuring that the maximum input voltage (Vihh) of the PIC is not exceeded. A 100kΩ resistor pulls the pin down to a valid logic low level (Vil) when the optocoupler is not conducting. The circuit is compatible with the popular "JDM" progr...

USB Soundcard Circuit with PCM2702

Creating a sound card is not more complex problems. If you use Great IC PCM2702 from Burr RED / Texas Instruments you can create a card USB sound fully functional. The sound card can be activated from the USB port and has one stereo output. You do not need to install drivers for Windows XP and Vista, because the driver is already in the system, XP and Vista. So this series is really plug and play. Block Diagram Description The core of this construction is a 16-Bit Stereo Digital-To-Analog Converter with PCM2702 USB interface. Schematic diagram USB soundcard PCM2702 only requires a few additional components to work. This scheme is not complex. The sound card can be activated directly from the USB port (jumper W1) or from an external power supply (jumper W3). PCM2702 requires two 3.3V power supply (3V-3.6V) and 5V (4.5V-5.5V). I use a fixed output voltage to 3.3V LDO TPS76733Q (IO2) and the output voltage is adjusted to 5V LDO TPS76701Q (IO3). LDO Both are produce...

Pocket Voltage Supply A USB Powered Variable Voltage Supply

The Pocket Voltage Supply is a USB powered variable voltage supply. It can be powered with any 5V USB hub and can supply up to 1.5A. 5V USB hubs can be found almost anywhere; desktop computers, laptops, cell phone chargers, even portable USB battery banks. Pairing the Pocket Voltage Supply with a portable USB battery bank allows the user to test circuits and prototypes outside of a lab setting and even bring testing to the field! [ ]

Stable USB Power Supply

A common problem when an AC mains adapter is used to power a USB device is that the voltage does not match the nominal 5 V specified by the USB standard. The circuit shown here accepts an input voltage in the range of 4-9 V and converts it into a 6-V output voltage, which is then stabilized to a clean 5-V level by a series regulator. The combined boost/buck converter used here operates on the SEPIC principle. That principle is quite similar to the operating principle of the Cuk converter, but without the disadvantage of a negative output voltage. Circuit diagram : Stable USB Power Supply Circuit Diagram The circuit is built around a MAX668, which is intended to be used as a controller for boost converters. The difference between a SEPIC converter and a standard boost (step-up) converter is that the former type has an additional capacitor (in this case C2) and a second inductor (in this case, the secondary winding of transformer L1). If C2 is replaced by a wire bridge and the secondary...

Simple 12V From USB Port 5V to 12V Converter

Using this circuit we can convert 5V DC from the computer USB port to 12V DC and a circuit like this will find a lot of application in USB powered systems. The heart of this circuit is IC LT1618 which is a constant current, constant voltage boost converter. The IC has a wide input voltage range of 1.8 to 18V DC and output voltage can be up to 35V DC. In the circuit resistors R1, R2 sets the output voltage. Pin number 9 is the shutdown pin, less than 0.3V to this pin will shut down the IC. Pin number four is the current sense adjust pin. The current sense voltage can be reduced by applying a DC voltage to this pin. If this adjustment is not needed connect this pin to ground and you can omit components R3, R5 and Q1. Simple 12V From USB Port - 5V to 12V Converter Circuit Diagram Notes C2 and C3 must be rated at least 15V. Less than 0.3V at the shutdown pin will shutdown the IC. Output voltage is governed by the following equation R1 = R2 (  (Vout /1.263V) -1).
