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.
Using a thermistor is an easy and cheap way to sense the temperature. And to measure the exact temperature with thermistor, a microcontroller will be needed. So here we are using Arduino with Thermistor to read the temperature and a LCD to display the temperature. It is useful in various projects like remote weather station, home automation, and protection and controlling of…
Ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04) is commonly used to find the distance of an object from one particular point. It has been fairly easy to do this with the Arduino and the code is also pretty simple. But in this article we are going to try something different with these popular HC-SR04 sensors. We will try calculating the distance between two Ultrasonic sensors that is, we will…
The Iconic name “Nokia 5110” itself should have bought memories of the robust Nokia mobile phone which was very popular during the 90’s. The model 5110 came with a Graphical Display which was sufficient enough to act as a display screen for the mobile back then. This screen was capable of displaying everything from alphanumeric characters to small graphics that is everything…
Hi guys, we are in the spirit of streaming and accessing media files from anywhere and everywhere and that’s why as a follow up to the last tutorial which is the implementation of a Plex server on the Raspberry Pi, for this tutorial, we will be implementing the KODI 17.4 (krypton) on our Raspberry Pi 3 running Raspbian Jessie.

The field of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning is evolving rapidly that it is sure to change the lifestyle of mankind in near future. Robots are thought to understand and interact with the real world through sensors and machine learning processing. Image recognition is one of the popular way in which the robots are thought to understand objects by…
In today’s modern world, where ever we go we have lots of electronic devices around us. But, out of all, there is only one device that we personally have in our pockets all the time. Yes, it is our mobile phones. Now Mobile phones have become more than a device used for communication, they are our cameras, they are our maps, they are our shopping karts and what not?

Sensors have always been a vital component in any Project. These are the ones which convert the real real-time environmental data into digital/variable data so that it can be processed by electronics. There are many different types of sensors available in the market and you can select one based on your requirements. In this project we will learn how to use a Hall sensor a.k.…
In this project we control direction and speed of a 24v high current motor using Arduino and two relays. No power switches are needed for this circuit, just two push buttons and in Potentiometer to control the direction and speed of DC Motor. One push button will rotate motor clockwise and other will rotate it counter clockwise. One n-channel MOSFET is required to…
Hi guys, so one of the problems with the digital age is having so much data stored here and there, especially media files, its always a pain when you have that favorite song on your computer at home and you can’t really access it or share with any other person from any other part of the house unless you come down to where its located. All of this particular kind of issues…
Recently Gesture controlled Laptops or computers are getting very famous. This technique is called Leap motion which enables us to control certain functions on our computer/Laptop by simply waving our hand in front of it. It is very cool and fun to do it, but these laptops are really priced very high. So in this project let us try building our own Gesture control Laptop/…
Hi guys, welcome to today's tutorial, one of the good things about the Raspberry Pi is the great ability and ease with which it gives you the opportunity to connect devices to the internet especially for Home Automation Related Projects. Today we are going to explore the possibility of controlling AC appliances with the click of buttons on a webpage using internet.…
A Line Follower Robot is a simple yet fascinating robot for most students/hobbyists to build. In this tutorial we will learn How a Line Follower Robot Works and how we can build one using the PIC Microcontroller PIC16F877A. PIC16F877A is a 40-pin Multipurpose MCU from Microchip, we have used this IC in our complete PIC tutorial series. If you are new, here you might want to…
