A PID (proportional-integral-derivative) controller measures a specific variable (such as water temperature) in comparison to a predetermined setting (ideal temp). The controller then performs a corrective action via its control circuit in order to reach the desired setting (i.e. - increases power to the burner). Result = dinner cooked up just right.[more]

This is an Accelerometer Based Mouse designed by Bernard.He shows us how to use an use an accelerometer as a simple mouse.This project uses a MEMS X/Y accelerometer, a PIC microcontroller and a old mouse. He also describes a trick for powering the new mouse with the unused RS232 serial control lines. [more]
