PIC based Animation Tile Display

Puzzlemation is an expandable platform of light and animation based on PIC24FJ64GA002. It can be used to create things as diverse as modular animated signs that can be changed by rearranging its tiles, to a uniquely animated puzzle. This project’s display is made of a number of tiles, about 2 inch square with an 8 x 8 array of color LED pixels. Each tile is individually powered and animated, so user can freely pick them up and re-arrange them. To set up a display, the tiles are placed in a special tray. Animations are downloaded into the tray via Ethernet and stored locally on an EEPROM, or loaded via an SD card. The tray broadcasts the animation to each of the tiles, and then synchronizes them.

John Peterson, project designer, said that the display is completely reconfigurable. If the pieces are left in the tray, the animation can be updated continuously over the Ethernet connection. If the tiles are removed from the tray, they’ll display the animation for several hours with their own re-chargeable battery power. Once the animation is synchronized and running on the tiles, user can pick them up and place them anywhere.

AVR Digital Clock with Roman Numerals

This digital clock project will display a Roman number instead Hindu-Arabic numeral system (1,2,3... ). The project uses micro ATTINY2313 as main processor and LCD to display the clock. When you turn on the device, it will shows a screen flashes "Tempera tempus" as reminder to adjust the time.


The adjustment is done via the small button.

• Press and hold the button for about 3 seconds -> hours appear on the screen -> release the button.
• Press the button again and hold -> the hours advance from "I" to "XXIV" -> release the button on the time right.
• Wait about 3 seconds -> minutes to appear on the screen.
• Press the button and hold -> the minutes advance from "nothing" to "LIX" -> release on just minutes.

Unfortunately, you have to readjust the time after your turn off the power, because there is no RTC in this  project.

AVR Rotating Led Display

If you like Rotating LED Display project, check out Rotating Led Display project by Aki Korhonen. He made POV project using modified 8 cm fan and microcontroller AVR AT mega as main part. To control the led, the project use 74HC595D shift registers. Not only can display the text this Rotating Led display can also demonstrate drawing and playable Pong game. Check the video below,

Digital Clock using Classic LED 7 Segment Displays

This is a simple digital clock project using PIC16F887 and classic LED 7-Segment from HP 5082-7414 created by punkky. The displays are bright red and sun light viewable. Each clock consumes about 0.25W (50mA, 5V) when the PIC16F887 operates at 250kHz (display refresh rate is about 61Hz).
