I know a little (just a little) on how you can increase voltage through DC-DC boosting which has got me quite curious on one aspect of this DIY scientific wristwatch.
How is he powering a 5v LCD from a PIC being powered by a 3v watch battery?
Looking at the schematic it appears he's doing some rudimentary voltage boosting using PWM with diodes & a capacitor, is that right and can it be done with a Picaxe?
