Microcontroller Based Projects

Below section covers a list of simple microcontroller projects to learn and work with the concepts of various microcontrollers and architectures. These microcontroller based projects are covered with detailed explanation of working of hardware, circuit diagrams, software and codes.  

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.

Manually sorting items is one of the most exhausting and time-consuming tasks. Manual sorting, whether of fruits or veggies or anything else, takes a lot of manpower and time. So, in this tutorial, we have tried to build a tomato sorting machine that could distinguish between red and green tomatoes. This Raspberry Pi-based Tomato Sorting system uses TensorFlow modules…

Internet connection is now becoming the most important thing after power supply for Raspberry Pi based projects and when we talk about a true IoT project then it becomes a must thing to consider. So, today we will try to interface GSM SIM800L for providing internet to our Pi just like a modem using GSM GPRS. For this project, we are using Point to Point Protocol…

Thousands of lives are being lost every year due to IEDs (improvise explosive devices). IEDs were responsible for approximately 63% of coalition deaths in Iraq. An IED consists of a switch (activator), an initiator (fuse), container (body), charge (explosive), and a power source (battery) or manual ignition. Not every IED…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is changing science fiction into reality and this technology is taking over the world. Inspired by Iron man and Jarvis we decided to build something similar which can be controlled just by hand gestures. This system detects the hand and identifies the gesture with the help of artificial intelligence and based on that, it…

As we are aware, a large number of young individuals stay away from their home for higher education, jobs & other stuff. On an average daily breakfast, an average individual spends around 30 to 35 rupees. We often imagine how working individuals are busy in their hectic daily schedule, meanwhile, they tend to get exhausted while returning from their…

In the world of technology,  Robots are one of the most fascinating things. In recent years, many technologies come across in the field of robotics and also many types of robots. In addition, we also made an interesting Robotic project, A IoT Robotic Arm. This Robotic arm is easy to use for automation. This IoT project…

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious disease caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus. More than two years into the pandemic, there have been many million confirmed cases of COVID-19 worldwide. Many more have probably gone undocumented. For safety purposes, we made an interesting project, CovAid. The CovAid is an electric…

IR or infrared is one of the simplest and easiest ways to transfer data wirelessly. This property of IR makes it undetectable to the human eye and perfect for wireless communication. Apart from that IR receiver comes with a very limited range which is why it's perfect for short-range home automation projects, TV remotes, accurate range detection, RP detection…

Sometimes when we go out of our home for a few days. In this case, we cant give water to our favorite plants or we are busy with other works, so we forget to give water to our plants. Most of the time, we nearly forget about our plants in the mentioned cases. It’s hard to keep our plants alive. Because most of the indoor…

Home is where you find your mind at peace. A relaxing peaceful evening at home is one of life's greatest pleasures. What if a thief broke into your house and has a weapon and you're hiding under the bed to avoid being found, how would you alert security without giving away your location? To automate this and implement real-time surveillance of the home security, we came up…

Today, in this project we are going to build a Smart Shopping cart by interfacing a thermal receipt printer, LCD, and a USB barcode scanner with Raspberry Pi. This Smart Shopping cart will scan an item’s Barcode, display its information on 20x4 LCD, create the invoice, and print it using a Point of Service (POS) Thermal Printer. We will be using a Google…

When you are searching for a Microcontroller there is a lot of variety available in the market from various reputed manufacturers like Microchip, ST Microelectronic, Texas Instruments, and the list goes on and on. But when we try to differentiate those microcontrollers with form factor vs features vs price, it gets very hard to choose one. However, Megawin, a…
