Microcontrollers are widely used in various industries, electronic products, automobiles etc.. to perform computing or logical operations. With this huge importance the demand of microcontrollers in industries is prominent and hence as electronics engineers it is important for us to learn how to use them. There are a large number of semiconductor companies manufacturing a variety of microcontrollers, the most popularly ones are 8051 microcontrollers, AVR microcontrollers, PIC microcontroller, TI Microcontrollers, Arduino, Raspberry Pi etc.
Connecting an SD card module to Arduino is way easier than you think. In this guide, we’ll break down the module’s pins and components, show you how to wire it to your Arduino, and get you reading and writing data in no time. Think of it as turning your Arduino into a reliable data logger. We have covered many other interfacing tutorials before that might interest you, such as this 16x2 LCD…
As winter sets in, the air hanging over us thickens with smoke and gaseous emissions from burning fields, industrial factories, and vehicular traffic, blocking out the sun and making it hard to breathe. Experts say that the high levels of air pollution and COVID-19 pandemic can be a dangerous mix that can have serious consequences. The necessity for real-time monitoring of…
With the advent of technology, our electronic gadgets and appliances are becoming smaller and smaller with more functional and complex applications. With this increase in complexity, the power requirement of the circuit has also increased and in our quest to make the device as small and as portable as possible, we need a battery which can provide high current for a long…
Time is vital in today's society, and when it comes to certain electronics, timing is crucial; just like us, they require a means to keep track of time, and precise time. So, how do electronics accomplish this? A Real-Time Clock, or RTC, is a timekeeping device embedded inside an Integrated Circuit, or IC. The answer is DS1307. Many time-critical applications and…
When we are talking about air pollution, dust and smoke are one of the many reasons for air pollution. Not only that, in recent years, due to climate change, wildfires have become more frequent. A recent report from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) reported a total of 58,733 wildfires across the US that had burned more than 7.13 million acres in 2021 alone…

The MPU6050 is a very popular accelerometer gyroscope sensor chip that has six-axis sensing with a 16-bit measurement resolution. This high accuracy in sense and the cheap cost make it a very popular choice among DIY electronics projects. Even many commercial products are equipped with the MPU6050. The combination of gyroscope and…
The mileage and performance of an Electric Vehicle depends on the capacity and efficiency of its Battery Pack. To maintain the battery pack in full health is the responsibility of the Battery Management System (BMS). A BMS is a sophisticated unit in an EV which does a lot of activity like monitoring the cells, balancing them and even protecting them from…
The damages that can be done by fire are devastating. To prevent causalities or damages, it is necessary to detect the fire, so that warnings can be provided and even automatic fire suppression systems can be activated. There are multiple ways to detect a fire, like detecting temperature change, smoke detection, etc. In all of these,…
Nowadays, natural gasses are everywhere. They are easy to transport and provide energy for various tasks in both household and industrial use. It also possesses a significant risk of fire if not handled carefully. This is where MQ-5 Combustible Gas Sensor comes into play. The MQ-5 Combustible Gas Sensor can detect LPG, H2, LPG, CH4, and CO. So in this article, we are…
In this tutorial, we are going to set up a Raspberry Pi streaming station using DarkIce and Icecast. DarkIce and Icecast are two Raspberry Pi packages used for audio recording, encoding, and streaming. DarkIce is a live audio streamer that records audio from an audio interface, i.e. Microphone, encodes it, and sends it to a streaming server. DarkIce can record…
