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 are a regular reader who is following our STM8S Microcontroller Tutorials, you would know that in our last tutorial, we learned how to interface a 16x2 LCD with STM8s. Now, proceeding with it on this tutorial, we will learn how to use the ADC feature on our STM8S103F3P6 Microcontroller. An ADC is a very useful peripheral on a microcontroller that is often used by…
In many cases, ESP32 capacitive touch sensors are used instead of push buttons. The advantage is that we don't have to provide force to press a button, and we can activate a key without touching it using touch sensors. Touch-sensing technology is becoming popular day by day. And within the last decade or so, it has become difficult to imagine the world without touch-…
Since the coronavirus outbreak, building a contactless body temperature monitoring system has become essential for identifying those affected by the virus. To solve this issue, temperature devices are often used to measure body temperature. These devices have non-contact IR temperature sensors that can measure the body temperature without any physical contact.…
In this time of the Corona pandemic, elevators have become a high-risk place where everybody touches the same buttons. At many places, people have discovered tricks to prevent contact with elevator buttons like using a pumping paper, toothpicks, or sanitary tissues for pressing the lift buttons.
So in continuation of our previous Corona safety…
Raspberry Pi HAT is an add-on board for Raspberry Pi with the same dimensions as Pi. It can directly fit on the top of Raspberry Pi and doesn’t require any further connections. There are hundreds of Raspberry Pi HATs available in the market and we also built Raspberry Pi Hat for 16x2 LCD. In this session we are going to build a LoRa Hat for Raspberry Pi on PCB. This…
SPI is a crucial communication protocol that is widely used to communicate among microcontrollers, SD cards, and various other sensors. SPI stands for Serial Peripheral Interface, it's a synchronous data transfer protocol where the master device could communicate with multiple slave devices as well as get data from them. It is synchronous because the master generates a…
This article is the continuation of our tutorial series on programming MSP430 using Code Composer Studio. Last tutorial was based on external interrupts on MSP430 using GPIO pins. This tutorial is about interfacing a display with MSP430, when it comes to display the 16*2 LCD Display, it is the first choice for any electronic hobbyist.…
In the time of Covid-19, Social-distancing is an effective way to slow down the transmission of infectious virus. People are advised to minimize their contact with each other to minimize the risk of the disease being transmitted through direct contact. Maintaining a safe distance is a challenge for many places like factories, banks, buses or railway stations, etc.

In the vast system of embedded applications, no microcontroller can perform all the activities by itself. At some stage of time, it has to communicate to other devices to share information, there are many different types of communication protocols to share these informations, but the most used ones are USART, IIC, SPI, and CAN. Each communication protocol has…
After reading the heading of this post, you must be wondering, why are we posting an article which explains how to block ad-services? Isn't that how a company makes money? And you are not mistaking that Google’s AdSense is a big portion of our revenue, but we understand that many of you, who are determined enough to set-up something like this is probably using some kind of…
We have been using Microcontroller Development Boards like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, NodeMCU, ESP8266, MSP430, etc. for a long time now in our small projects where most of the times distance between the sensors and board is not more than few centimeters at max and at these distances, the communication between the different sensor modules, relays,…
Scanning temperature at the entry gates of office, malls, shopping centers, etc. has become the “new normal” to tackle the current Covid19 pandemic. While it is possible to use a handheld IR thermometer to measure the temperature of each person entering the gate and note it down manually on a notebook, it is simply not the most effective way. We have already designed a…
