PCB designing is a vital step in every product development cycle. The below list provides you with a collection of DIY PCB Projects which can be used to develop PCB designing skills. Each project consists of a useful practical circuit that is demonstrated with a neatly fabricated PCB. The design details including the Gerber file is available for download to provide a complete do-it-yourself experience.
The main objective of this project is to simplify the parking system by connecting all the parking stations of any city or town via the internet and make the data accessible to the users. This helps the users to know the parking slot left in real time and also helps them to find the best closest parking station for them. This reduces the time consumption in finding…
Every digital clock has a crystal inside it to keep track of time. This crystal is not only present in the clock but also present in all computing real-time systems. This crystal generates clock pulses, which is needed for timing calculations. Although there are some other ways to get clock pulses for higher accuracy and frequency, but the most preferred way…
In this project we are going to make a PIC based Car Battery Monitoring system on PCB. Here we have designed a PCB using EASYEDA online PCB simulator and designer. This Car Battery Monitoring Circuit is used to monitor the power of Car Battery by just plugging it into the power outlet on the dashboard of a car. The PCB also has the option to use it as Voltage Measurement…
There are many situations when our circuit design has two power sources such as an adapter and a battery or it can even be two other power supplies from two different outlets. The requirement of the application can be something like it should always need to remain ON during power failures by using and additional power source that is available. For example, a circuit that is…
An earthquake is an unpredictable natural disaster that causes damage to lives and property. It happens suddenly and we cannot stop it but we can be alerted from it. In today’s time, there are many technologies which can be used to detect the small shakes and knocks, so that we can take precautions prior to some major vibrations in earth. Here we are using Accelerometer…
This project shows how to convert a normal doorbell into a WIFI-based doorbell which notifies on your phone when there is a bell press. I came up with this idea when I noticed that my parents being old couldn't hear the doorbell sound and would miss couriers or any guest. Not just old people but also some people who work from home and have their…
In this tutorial, we are going to build an easy and cheap Pedometer using ATtiny85 IC, MPU6050 Accelerometer & Gyroscope, and OLED Display Module. This simple Arduino based step counter is powered by a 3V coin cell, making it easy to carry when you go out for a walk or jog. It also requires very few components to build and the code is also relatively simple. The program…
Robotic Arms, are one of the fascinating engineering creations and it is always fascinating to watch these things tilt and pan to get complex things done just like a human arm would. These robotic arms can be commonly found in industries at the assembly line performing intense mechanical work like welding, drilling, painting etc, recently advanced robotic arms with high…
A crude way to power your DC circuits with AC mains is to use a step-down transformer for stepping down the 230V mains voltage and adding a couple of diodes as a bridge rectifier. But due to the huge space size and other drawbacks, it cannot be used for all purposes. Another most popular and professional way is to use Switch Mode Power Supply Circuits for converting your AC…
Agree it!!! It has happened to all of us. Many times we misplace our keys and go searching for them everywhere in the house, and after a long search, we end up finding them with much distress. Now, the obvious solution here is to place your keys in their right place, but as engineers, what’s the fun in doing that. So, in this tutorial, we are going to build a simple IoT…
Self-driving cars and connected vehicles, is sure to change the way we commute in the future. Today companies like Tesla are encouraging its owners to lend out their cars as robot taxis when not used, recently its CEO Elon Musk took it to twitter to state that there will be more than 1 million robot taxis on road by 2020. This will not only impact general…
Switching Mode Power Supply (SMPS) is an interesting component that uses a compact design within a space of one or two inches and could be easily soldered in the PCB. It is a hot cake in this electronics industry and there are lots of companies that manufacture this thing. How nice it would be if we can build a standard SMPS circuit that could be fitted in a limited space…
