Projects in the May 2001 issue of EPE Magazine
PIC Graphics LCD Scope
At last! Our long-awaited PIC-powered graphics LCD signal monitor for your workshop. Easy to build, intended mainly for audio signals. 5V p-p input. Frequency and voltage data alphanumeric display. 64 × 128 graphics matrix display. Single channel. Source code free from our FTP site.

Intruder Alarm Control Panel (2)
Concluding our superb professional 5-zone microcontroller security system, complies with BS4737. All PCB and interwiring details are provided.

In the June 2001 issue (P.431) we published corrections as follows. Page 357 Fig 5: unfortunately the main p.c.b. component layout shows some of the diodes incorrectly annotated. They should be as follows: D5 becomes D22; D6 becomes D11; D7 becomes D12; D8 becomes D6; D9 is ok; D10 becomes D8; D11 becomes D10 and D12 becomes D5; D22 becomes D7. The circuit and components list are correct. The author also adds that the battery for the extension bellunit mayb e any voltage between 7.2V and 12V, rated approx 250mAh, Ni-cad or sealed lead-acid.
Camcorder Mixer
 Enhance the sound of your home video productions with our stereo mixer design - featuring two microphones and a line input. Individual channel level controls. Safe battery operation, with low battery alarm system. Many other applications.

DC Motor Controller
A small, inexpensive low voltage controller for d.c. motors or lamps. Simple PWM design for small model motors 6V-12V Can be built for under £10 ($7).

Using Schmitt Triggers (7) The concluding part of our highly acclaimed in-depth series explains the effects of hysteresis in specialised devices. Plenty of practical circuit design examples are provided in this authoritative feature, an absolute must for your reference bookshelf!
