This PIC microcontroller project is from a St. Cloud State University course. Jacob Scherer did a good job at making a multifunction system using a PIC chip, it can function as a digital oscilloscope, spectral analyzer, pulse generator and pulse width measurement, temperature sensor, and capacitor sensor! This project reminds me of the ones that are created in the Cornell ECE 5760 course. "It is a microcontroller based system
This Hard Drive Clock is fantastic, especially the great looking painted front of the clock. It really looks like a piece of art. As you probably know we love hard drive clocks around here and almost any projects that can be made with used hard drives! Thanks for the tip Maciek.
