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.
If you had gone down to a nearby laptop store for purchasing one, you would have come across the terms “DDR4 DDR3”. For those who are unfamiliar with "DDR4 DDR3", these are different versions of RAM (Random Access Memory). We users always look for better versions of RAM such that there is a seamless performance by the system. Guess what, in this tutorial we are going to…
FSM (Finite State Machines) is a simple state machine or a mathematical model of computation. Each FSM has a finite number of states, inputs, outputs, and rules to change from one state to the other state. FSM is defined by a finite number of states and switches from one state to the other when specific input is given to the state machine. FSM’s are widely used in vending machines,…
With the Internet of Things taking over the lives, home automation is becoming more and more common. Home automation can include the scheduling and automatic operation of lighting, heating, cooling, window blinds, security systems, and other devices. There are many home automations platforms available that allow vital home functions to be controlled remotely from anywhere in…
Registers are common electronic components that are used in devices to store data. These are the smallest data holding elements which store the operands or instructions that are being processed by the CPU. There are different types of Registers, namely Instruction Registers, Program Registers, ALU Registers, General Purpose Registers, and so on. They differ in the number of bits that can be…
Well, IoT is trending everywhere and is one of the greatest things that can be used to make life easier. There are many IoT based home automation projects available on the internet but none of them provides you an option to control the speed of fan over the internet. So here, in this project, we’ll be making an IoT fan speed control…
The moment we are asked to do big calculations, we reach out to the calculators to find the answers. But do we know how calculators perform the operations? The calculators have integrated chips that take care of the operations and give us the results. Adders and Subtractors are the basic elements of any ALU’s/Calculating Devices in this modern electronics world. In this…
In 2012, the Raspberry Pi Foundation introduced us to a single board computer, the Raspberry Pi, which was mainly promoted for teaching the basics of computer science to kids. But 9 long years later, in the year 2021, the Raspberry Pi Foundation introduced us to a microcontroller board, the Raspberry Pi Pico which comes with the Raspberry Pi Foundation's own silicon…
In this article, we are going to perform the I2C Communication on STM8S microcontroller by using the MLX90614 I2C sensor. We will measure the Ambient Temperature and the Object’s Temperature and then we will display the measured temperature on the LCD. If you are following the STM8S Microcontroller Tutorials, you would know that we have already covered the basics of the…
Distance measurement of an object in the path of the person, equipment, or a vehicle or moving object is used in a large number of applications such as robotic movement control, vehicle control, blind man’s walking stick, medical equipment, etc. There are many methods available for distance measurement but measurement using Ultrasonic sensor is one of the cheapest among…
In a present-day scenario, we are all so busy with our work that we don't have the time for cleaning our house properly. Constructing an Arduino based smart vacuum cleaner robot project has never been easier, affordable and convenient. The solution to the problem is very simple: creating your own automatic floor cleaning robot using Arduino offers a practical DIY…
Security has always been a major concern for mankind. Today we have video surveillance cameras in schools, hospitals and every other public place to make us feel secured. According to a survey by HIS it is estimated that there were around 245 million security cameras installed and functioning back on 2014, which is like having one security camera for every 30 people on this…
Sewage management is an important aspect of municipal infrastructure and undoubtedly, it affects our daily hygiene. Poor sewage/drainage management can cause urban floods which is most common in crowded cities. This problem can be addressed by using Smart Sewage Management Device based on IoT and Sensor Technology.
In this article, we are going to…
