12 Victor Kremin Serhiy Matviyenko	Pulse-SensingOptical Mouse Victor and Serhiy's USB optical mouse enables you to measure your pulse rate while you work at your PC. You can design a similar system for numerous other sensory applications. Download: Kremin-194.zip
18 Dennis Seguine	Simplified FSK Signal Detection Dennis describes an efficient method for detecting FSK signals using a correlator and analog signal processing in a PSoC. The method is readily applicable to caller ID technology. When combined with a UART, it forms the core of a Bell 202 half-duplex modem.
24 James Gaston Peter Hiscocks	Programmable Network Analyzer James and Peter used an oscilloscope and a waveform generator to create a programmable network analyzer. The simple system will be a great addition to your workbench. Download: Hiscocks-194.zip
30 Carl Smith	Multifunctional Wireless Alarm Carl's multifunctional wireless alarm system can monitor everything from the doors to the sump pump in your house. The system features an MC13192 SARD board and several wireless sensors. When the alarm is activated, simply place a call to your house to obtain a status report. Download: Smith-194.zip
40 Jan Szymanski	Digital Audio Player Jan's media player is an embedded hardware/software system for 16-bit digital audio. The simple system is built around an LPC2148 microcontroller, an SD card interface, and an audio DAC interface. Download: Szymanski-194.zip
Applied PCs 48 Fred Eady	Go Wireless with the XBee It's time to get rid of the wires between your sensors, slave devices, and the microcontrollers they serve. Fred shows you how to move data wirelessly with MaxStream's XBee modules. Uncomplicated wireless technology is at your fingertips. It doesn't get any better than this. Download: Eady-194.zip
60 Praveen P. Deshpande	Scheduler Template for Microcontrollers Praveen describes the process of writing a scheduler template for a single-chip microcontroller. Although he used this technique when he designed a real-time digital wall clock, you can apply it to your next single-chip microcontroller-based project. Download: Despande-194.zip
From the Bench 74 Jeff Bachiochi	SPI Power Alarm Power loss? No problem. Jeff's PIC16F87-based SPI power alarm peripheral circuit will keep you on top of things. This simple design will be a useful addition to a variety of applications, particularly those in the healthcare industry. Download: Bachiochi-194.zip
Silicon Update 78 Tom Cantrell	ARMed and Dangerous A lot has changed since Tom started covering ARM microcontrollers back in 2003. This month he brings you up to speed on the new parts and players in the ARM MCU world.
