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.
According to researchers from Pen state University, humans are more likely to trust machines over people, which is likely evident from us revealing our ATM pin to a machine so easily. Today, in the world where AI, Machine learning, Chat bots, Smart Speakers, Robots etc are actively progressing, this synergy between humans and robots is only set to increase. Today, from…
Power consumption is a critical issue for a device running continuously for a long time without being turned off. So to overcome this problem, almost every controller comes with an Arduino sleep mode, which helps developers to design electronic gadgets for optimal power consumption. Sleep mode puts the device in power-saving mode by turning off the unused module. Whether you…
A stepper motor is a type of DC motor that works in discrete steps and is used everywhere from a surveillance camera to sophisticated robots and machines. NEMA 17 stepper motor provide accurate control and can be differentiated based on torque, steps per revolution, and input voltage. In our previous project, we controlled a 28-BYJ48 stepper motor using Arduino. 28-…
Robotic Arms, are one of the fascinating engineering creations and it is always fascinating to watch these things tilt and pan to get complex things done just like a human arm would. These robotic arms can be commonly found in industries at the assembly line performing intense mechanical work like welding, drilling, painting etc, recently advanced robotic arms with high…
Solenoids are very commonly used actuators in many process automation systems. There are many types of solenoid, for instance, there are solenoid valves which can be used to open or close water or gas pipelines and there are solenoid plungers which are used to produce linear motion. One very common application of solenoid that most of us would have come across is the…
A stepper motor is a type of DC motor that works in discrete steps and used everywhere from a surveillance camera to sophisticated robots and machines. NEMA 17 stepper motor has a step angle of 1.8° that means it will take 200 steps for a 360° rotation. By changing the rate of the control signal applied, we can easily control the motor speed. Stepper motor can be…
Noise pollution has really started to gain importance due to high population density. A normal human ear could hear sound levels from 0dB to 140dB in which sound levels from 120dB to 140dB are considered to be noise. Loudness or sound levels are commonly measured in decibel(dB), we have some instruments which could measure the sound signals in dB but these meters are…
There are several water fountains which unconditionally sprinkle water with some interesting lighting effects. So I wandered about designing an innovative water fountain which can respond to external music and sprinkle water depending on the music beats. Isn’t it sound interesting?
The basic idea of this Arduino Water Fountain is to take an input…
The ability of machines to use a camera to look at the real world and interpret data from it would have a greater influence on its applications. Be it a simple food delivery Robot like the Starship Robots or an advanced self driving car like Tesla, they are rely on information obtained from their highly sophisticated cameras to take decisions. In this tutorial we will…
In previous article, we covered various Music streaming softwares which can be installed on Raspberry Pi. Here we will pick one of them and install it on Raspberry Pi. Since we covered the installation of media servers like Kodi and Plex in our past tutorials, I feel this time, we should turn the spotlight towards the audiophiles and cover installing one of the music servers…
Raspberry Pi is the pocket sized computer having almost all the feature of a normal computer including USB port, LAN port, audio/video output, HDMI port etc. It also has inbuilt Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity which makes it perfect candidate to build various online servers like Webserver, Media server, Print Server, Plex server etc. So here we…
In the previous tutorial, we started with learning about TIVA TM4C Launchpad and how to control its Digital Input and Output pins using Energia IDE. Now, in this tutorial, we will learn about the interfacing of 16×2 Dot matrix LCD display with this board to display useful information and sensor data.
16x2 LCD Display is the most of us would…
