Drones have existed for a long time, but have gained popularity only in recent times. These Unmanned Ariel Vehicles have gotten better, Cheaper and versatile with time. Drones are helping to penetrate into various sectors, rather than being just limited to hobbyists.
One such industry which is welcoming drones to an extent is the shipping industry.…
One of the most non-technical uses for the Raspberry Pi is its use as a media server for playing music, videos, and live streaming of all sort of multimedia.
Media Servers typically aggregate media files from all of the users favorite sources including local drives, internet based music platforms like spotify, and video streaming platforms like…
The race for wireless technology started long back in 1890’s when Marconi built the world’s first radio station and introduced wireless telegraphy, which completely re-defined the way how humans exchanged information back then. Today, we have advanced with many new cellular technologies to transmit large amount of data wirelessly to anyone living at even the deepest corner…
Embedded systems have a wide range of application in all the electronic devices around us, an evident example is the mini laptop that we carry around with us all the time, yes I am referring to our mobile phones.
Whenever embedded system comes into picture it is always a combination of hardware like Microcontrollers or Microprocessors and software…
Previously we learned about Clipper Circuits, which are used to clip off the positive or negative part of the Alternating waveform. Today we will learn about Clamper circuits which are used to clamp the DC level of the output signal without distorting the waveform i.e. they are Level Shifter circuits. It can be designed using capacitor, diode and resistor. The…
Relay logic control systems are truly a foundation of industrial automation, and electromagnetic relays are necessary to perform switching actions in these conversion systems. The relay logic circuits also utilise relays along with switches, motors, timers, actuators, and contactors to form ON/OFF control systems effectively. Though relay logic control proves to be effective…
A diode is one of the basic components that are commonly used in electronic circuit designs; it can be commonly found in rectifiers, clippers, clampers and many other commonly used circuits. It is a two-terminal semiconductor device that allows the current flow in only one direction, that is, from Anode to Cathode (+ to -) and blocks the current flow in the reverse direction…
Today Human civilization is highly dependent on computers and other machines. Everything around us from a simple alarm clock, to a complicated online banking system, works based on the program written for it. But how dependable are these programs, it is okay to wake up late when your alarm clock fails you, but think about losing your life’s savings just because your banking…
LED bulbs are said to be 80% more efficient than other conventional lighting options like fluorescent and incandescent bulbs. The fast adaption of LED bulbs is already noticeable around us and the global LED bulb market value has reached to around $5.4 Billion in 2018. A challenge, in designing these LED bulbs is that LED light, as we know works on DC voltage and the mains…
Internet and connectivity are taking center stage, not just in the industrial environment but also among individuals’ personal spaces. With internet becoming the prime ‘ingredient’ in nearly every electronic system, the importance of connectivity has been amplified to a whole new level, today.
In the world, where…
Bleeder resistors are standard high value resistors which are used to discharge the capacitor in filter circuit. The discharging of the capacitors is really important because even if the power supply is OFF, a charged capacitor can give a shock to anybody. So it is really essential to add a bleeder resistor to avoid any mishaps. It also have other applications but the main…
The emergence of the Internet of Things has changed various industrial operations for good. With the ability of deploying devices that could measure, record and share data we can easily create a huge database of critical data. Analysis of this database through business analytics and numeric approach provides us a better insight on what is happening in a particular…
