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 DIY session we are building a web controlled surveillance robotic car using raspberry pi and a webcam. This could be a useful and inexpensive security and spy tool, which have many configurable options and can be built in few hours. In this IoT Project, we are mainly using Raspberry Pi, USB web camera and two DC motor with Robot chassis to build this Robotic car…
You might have heard about Smart Refrigerator which can automatically order the food items which are running low in refrigerator, so inspiring from that we are here building a Raspberry Pi Smart Container using Load Cell and HX711 Weight Sensor. This Smart Container can tell you about its status like whether it is full or empty, by sending a mail to your Email ID. We…
This is our 10th tutorial of Learning PIC microcontrollers using MPLAB and XC8. Till now, we have covered many basic tutorials like LED blinking with PIC, Timers in PIC, interfacing LCD, interfacing 7-segment, ADC using PIC etc. If you are an absolute beginner, then please visit the complete list of PIC tutorials here and start…
You must have familiar with Voice typing, which is very commonly used in Computers and mobiles phone, where you can type any word by speaking it. Voice typing is very useful for handicapped person or for anybody who wants to type fast. So today we are implementing the same on 16x2 LCD Display, where the voice text will be displayed on LCD. Here we have used 16x2 LCD, but…
The main problem while working with Raspberry Pi is to know the IP address of the Raspberry Pi, which will be needed to login into it using some SSH or file transfer client. So today we will share some Python scripts to find the local IP address of your Raspberry Pi on the network and display it on the 16x2 LCD Screen. We will also add the script in the Crontab so that it…
In this project we are going to use Load cell and HX711 Weight Sensor with Raspberry Pi to build a Automatic Gate. We have seen these pressure sensing gates at many malls and showrooms, which automatically opens when someone is standing near the door and get closed after that person is gone. So here we are also creating the same Automatic Gate which will sense the pressure…
Today, we are going to build an Arduino weight machine by interfacing a Load Cell and an HX711 Weight Sensor with Arduino. We have seen weight machines at many shops, where the machine displays the weight just by placing an item on the weighing platform. So here we are building the same weighing machine by using Arduino and Load cells, having a capacity of measuring up to…
In this session we are going to make a 9WATT Emergency Lamp using Raspberry Pi and Python. This lamp will automatically detect the darkness and absence of AC power supply, and light up when there is power failure and proper light is not there.
Although there are various emergency lamps available but they are purely dedicated to serve single purpose…
In this project we are going to Detect the Colors using TCS3200 Color Sensor Module with Raspberry Pi. Here we used Python code for Raspberry Pi to detect the colors using TCS3200 sensor. To demonstrate the color detection we have used a RGB LED, this RGB LED will glow in the same color, of which the object is presented near the sensor. Currently we have programmed Raspberry…
This is our 9th tutorial of Learning PIC microcontrollers using MPLAB and XC8. Till now, we have covered many basic tutorial like getting started with MPLABX, LED blinking with PIC, Timers in PIC, interfacing LCD, interfacing 7-segment etc. If you are an absolute beginner, then please visit the complete list of PIC tutorials here and start learning.

In this project, we are going to interface HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor module to Raspberry Pi to measure distance. We have previously used an Ultrasonic sensor with a Raspberry Pi to build Obstacle Avoiding Robot. Through this project, we can measure distance with a Raspberry Pi. Before going any further, let's know about the Ultrasonic sensor.

This is our 8th tutorial of Learning PIC microcontrollers using MPLAB and XC8. We have come up all the way from installing MPLABX to using a LCD with PIC MCU. If you are new here, then look at previous tutorials where you can learn timers, blinking LED, interfacing LCD etc.. You can find all our PIC Tutorials here. In our last tutorial we saw how we can generate Custom…
