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.
Today almost everyone uses their mobile phones to listen to music, news, podcasts, etc. But not long ago we were all depending on local FM Radios to get the latest news and songs, slowly these Radios are losing popularity but in emergencies when the internet is down, radios place an important role to transmit information to the users. Radio signals are always present in the…
A simple Rain Detection System can be easily built by interfacing an Arduino with Rain Sensor. The sensor will detect any rainfall falling on it and the Arduino board will sense it and can perform required actions. A system like this can be used in many different fields, such as agriculture and automobile fields. Rainfall detection can be used to automatically regulate…
Most of us are familiar with the Python programming language. Python is a very powerful programming language and used to build many applications from the Internet of Things to Artificial Intelligence (AI). By seeing the popularity of python, this community developed the reimplementation of Python which is called MicroPython.
So in this tutorial, we…
Fitness bands are getting very popular nowadays, which not only counts the footsteps but also tracks your calories burned, display heartbeat rate, showtime and many more. And these IoT devices are synced with the cloud so that you can easily get all the history of your physical activity on a smartphone. We have also built an IoT Based Patient Monitoring System where the…
The "Quick Response" code or abbreviated as QR code has become an essential part of our digital lives, chances are that you're already subconsciously familiar with them by now you've probably been roaming around your local grocery store, or maybe you are reading through your favourite book, or even possibly you are making an online payment with Google Pay, PhonePe or Paytm,…
ESP32 series microcontrollers are low-cost, low-power system-on-chip microcontrollers that come with integrated Wi-Fi and dual-mode Bluetooth. The ESP32 series comes with Tensilica Xtensa LX6 microprocessor in both (dual-core and single-core) variations, and it has inbuilt antenna switches, RF balun, power amplifier, low-noise receive amplifier, filters, and power management…
If you want to build your own temperature monitoring system or to measure the altitude of your drone or simply want to measure the atmospheric pressure in your area, then one of the best module for you to use in your project is the BMP280 Pressure sensor module. BMP280 is absolute pressure and temperature monitoring sensor which is the upgraded version of BMP085, BMP180…
A few years back, if someone were to tell me a watch could not only tell time but can also measure the heart rate and track calories, I would be blown away by it. Today more than a million people, including me own a wearable fitness tracker and it is forecasted that the market for wearable devices would reach $57,653 millions by 2022. From smart glasses to Diabetes…
When it comes to giving your projects wireless capabilities, the 433Mhz ASK Hybrid Transmitter and receiver is a common choice among engineers, developers, and hobbyists because of Its Low Price, easy to use libraries and its community support. We have also built few projects like RF controlled Home Automation and Wireless Doorbell using this 433MHz RF module. But often-…
Display advertising plays a very important role in marketing, and there are several advertising methods like newspapers, posters, glow signboards, etc.. Still, digital LED display boards are getting popular nowadays because of their reliability and advantages. Although they are a little expensive, they are durable and customizable. P10 LED display boards have…
In this project we are going to work on an innovative arduino project idea, where we can count the paper currency notes and calculate their amount, by sensing the paper currency using Color Sensor and Arduino. TCS230 color sensor will be used for detecting the currency notes and, Arduino UNO for processing the data and showing the remaining balance on 16x2 LCD.…
The three main parameters to consider while developing a portable IoT device would be Low Power Consumption, Wireless Connectivity, and Security. With exactly these three in mind, Microchip has launched a new development board called the PIC IoT WG. The board is powered by a 16-bit PIC microcontroller with ATWINC Wi-Fi module and many more interesting things. In this article…
