Everyday Practical Electronics (EPE) Magazine is the Number #1 hobby electronics and computer projects magazine for electronics constructors everywhere.
Every issue is packed with ideas, theory and projects for you to build — using class-leading drawings and illustrations, with full circuit diagrams, p.c.b. layouts, artwork and photos, EPE is bound to have something of interest to you!
Serial I/O Controller and analog sampler — can be programmed to switch relays dependent on voltage, resistance, temperature and digital signals. Free powerful software runs on a Windows PC. PIC 16F877A based.
PIC Carillon — a digital bell-ringing musical unit that plays individual bell-like tones, using the multiple harmonics of sinewaves to give the tonality expected from bells. Complete with the decay of each tone. In basic form this is a monophonic design but can be modified to form a polyphonic effect. Can be interfaced with the PIC Polyphonium (April-May 07) and experimentally with the StyloPIC of July 2002.
Phone/ Fax Missed Call Alert — lights an LED and latches a relay for remote signalling of when a call has been received. Traditional discrete logic design.
Note that the Missed Call Alert is not BT Approved. It is fully opto-isolated and if built as described the Missed Call Alert may be connected to a PSTN line with complete safety.
Midi Drum Kit (Part 2) — second part describing the completion of our fabulous low cost "drum kit" that can produce just about any musical sound you can think of. There's no drum skin in sight and you don't even need to buy a pair of drumsticks! USB operation possible via a serial to USB converter. Too many more features to list here! A superb design for the MIDI enthusiast.
