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.

Problem Statement

Ensuring the safety of loved ones—especially children and the elderly—is a constant concern for families. While caregivers want to stay connected and responsive at all times, it is practically impossible to monitor someone continuously. Existing solutions often address only one scenario: either home monitoring or personal safety on the go, forcing…

In an era of endless notifications and remote work, our greatest challenge isn't a lack of tools, it’s a lack of focus. We often turn to our smartphones for a simple timer or a to-do list, only to find ourselves sucked into social media ten minutes later. This "Digital Fatigue" is a real problem, I faced similar problems while studying for my exams. I realized that using…

Smart home systems are increasingly adopting intelligent sensing technologies to understand indoor environments and automatically adapt to the user's needs. Among these technologies, cameras play a critical role in tasks such as human presence detection, room occupancy monitoring, and context-aware automation for…

This project aims to develop an intelligent robot that can automatically collect and sort waste using artificial intelligence and camera-based sensing. The robot utilizes the Adafruit Memento Camera powered by the ESP32-S3 microcontroller as the main vision and processing unit. The camera captures images of waste materials and runs an on-device AI model to detect and…

We have developed a smart home energy management system prototype that divides the house into sectors and efficiently chooses which sector is powered by what energy source. The reason why we developed this project was that in India, the adoption of renewable energy is still not widespread, despite the subsidies and…

This project is a smart vault built on an Memento Programmable Camera Board that uses physical objects / items for two factor authentication (2FA). Instead of just relying on a standard username and password, the system requires a physical key to grant acces but rather than a metal key, it uses an everyday object like a coffee mug, a toy, or a keychain. When you want to…
