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.
In this tutorial let us learn How to interface HC-05 Bluetooth Module with AVR ATmega8 microcontroller. We will establish communication between Android mobile and Atmega8 through Bluetooth module which takes place through UART serial communication protocol. In this project we will control a LED using Bluetooth of our smartphone.

In previous Getting start with NodeMCU tutorial, we saw What is NodeMCU and how we can program it using Arduino IDE. As you know NodeMCU has Wi-Fi chip inside so, it can also connect to internet. It is very useful to build IoT Projects. We previously used ThingSpeak with Arduino to make IoT thermometer, but here we will create our own webpage to display temperature.…
PIC Microcontrollers are a powerful platform provided by microchip for embedded projects; its versatile nature has enabled it to find ways into many applications and is yet to grow a lot. If you have been following our PIC tutorials then you would have noticed we have already covered a wide range of tutorials on PIC microcontroller starting from the very basics. In…
In this tutorial we will see how to interface NodeMCU with 16x2 LCD without using I2C communication. Here we will interface 16x2 LCD using shift register SN74HC595. We can also interface it even without using any shift register. We will see both kinds of interfacings in this tutorial. Main difference between both interfacings is the number of pins used in NodeMCU.

Hello everyone, Today in this project, we will interface RF Receiver and Transmitter module with PIC Microcontroller and communicate between two different pic microcontrollers wirelessly.
In this project we will do following things:-
We will use PIC16F877A for the Transmitter and PIC18F4520 for the Receiver section. We will interface Keypad and…
Controlling LEDs with voice command seems to be a difficult task, but it’s easy and you can quickly build it. We just need an Arduino UNO to serially communicate with HC-06 Bluetooth module and a smartphone to send voice command to Bluetooth module HC-06. For receiving voice command we are using “Arduino Bluetooth Voice Controller” android app which you can download from…
Keypads are widely used input devices being used in various electronics and embedded projects. They are used to take inputs in the form of numbers and alphabets, and feed the same into system for further processing. In this tutorial we are going to interface a 4x4 matrix keypad with PIC16F877A.
Before going into the detail logic…
The digital Revolution started in 1950 changes all the existing mechanical and analog electronic structures into digital computers. Since the growth of digital electronics has been exponential, today it is almost impossible for a person to resist using any electronic equipment. Starting from the alarm clock that wakes you up and the toaster that serves you breakfast,…
In this tutorial, we will learn about ESP-12 Wi-Fi module and how to program it using Arduino IDE. Then we will write a program to blink an LED with ESP8266-12.
What is ESP8266 and NodeMCU?
Most people call ESP8266 as a WIFI module, but it is actually a microcontroller. ESP8266 is the name of the microcontroller…
What if we can generate different colors using a single RGB led and make our room’s corner more attractive? So, here is a simple Arduino based color mixing lamp which can change color when there is change in light in the room. So this lamp will automatically will changes its color according to the light conditions in the room.
Every color is the…
Stepper Motor is a specially designed motor which rotates in steps. Speed of stepper motor depends on the rate of electrical signal applied to it. Different patterns can control stepper motor’s direction and rotation type. Mainly two types of stepper motors are available, Unipolar and Bipolar. Unipolar is easier to operate, control and also easier to get. Here in this…
Programming has always been fun and it just got a lot better with development platforms like Arduino. Almost every programmer out here would have tried to develop some kind of game using the language that they learning/practising. This helps them to tune their programming skills in a fun yet productive way. I have been a big fan of Arduino ever since I got introduced to it…
