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 the world of Internet of Things (IoT) when we have all the technologies to revolutionize our life, it's a great idea to develop a system which can be controlled and monitored from anywhere. There are many types of good security systems and cameras out there for home security but they are much expensive so today we will build a low cost simple Raspberry Pi based…
In this tutorial we are going to design an 8x8 LED Matrix Scrolling Display using Arduino Uno, which will show scrolling alphabets.
8x8 LED Matrix contains 64 LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) which are arranged in the form of a matrix, hence the name is LED matrix. We are going to make this Matrix by soldering these 64 LEDs on to the perfboard or DOT…
In 1980, Intel developed the first Microcontroller (8051) with Harvard Architecture 8051 and since then Microcontrollers brought a revolution in Electronics and embedded industry. And with the technological advancement over the time, now we have many more efficient and low power microcontrollers like AVR, PIC, ARM. These Microcontrollers are more capable and easy…
In this DIY, we are going to make an IOT based smart garbage alert system using Arduino uno that will tell us that whether the trash can is empty or full through the web server, and you can know the status of your ‘Trash Can’ or 'Garbage' from anywhere in the world over the Internet. It will be very useful and can be installed in the Trash Cans at public places as well as at…
Most of our electronics projects are powered by a Lead Acid battery, in this project let us discuss how to recharge this lead acid Battery with a help of a simple circuit that can be easily understood and built from home. This project will save yourself from investing in a battery charger and help you to extend your battery life. So let's get started!!!!

Raspberry Pi is an ARM cortex based popular development board designed for Electronic Engineers and Hobbyists. With the processing speed and memory, Raspberry Pi can be used for performing different functions at a time, like a normal PC, and hence it is called Mini Computer in your palm. We have created a series of Raspberry Pi tutorials, to start with Raspberry Pi from…
Robots are machines which reduce the human efforts in heavy works by automating the tasks in industries, factories, hospitals etc. Most of the robots are run by using some control unit or components like a push button, remote, joystick, PC, gestures and by executing some command by using controller or processor. But today we are here with a Automatic Robot which moves…
You have seen Propellers in Aircrafts or in marine ships, if not in real then in movies for sure. In this session we are going to design a Propeller Display with Arduino, LEDs and a DC motor. In this Propeller Display, text will appear to be rotating in propeller fashion in a circular shape.
The propeller display also called as POV display is in a…
We all are familiar with the Wireless Notice Board as we have already built Wireless Notice Board using GSM and Arduino. But today we are going one step ahead and instead of using GSM as wireless medium, this time we are using Internet to wirelessly send the message from Web Browser to the LCD which is connected to Raspberry Pi. As message is sent through the web browser, so…
Automation is the essence of today’s world. Automation can make our life easy and secure. There are many ways to obtain automation. Automation can be achieved by Wi-Fi, IR, GSM, Bluetooth and many other technologies.
Previously we have covered many types of Home automations using different technologies like:
DTMF Based Home Automation…
Today we are building a very useful project in which we can control the LED lights using our voice through Smart Phone. In this project, we will send voice commands from Smart Phone to Raspberry Pi using Bluetooth Module and Raspberry Pi will receive that transmitted signal wirelessly and will perform respective task over the hardware. We can replace the LEDs with the…
VU Meter or Volume Meter is very popular and fun project in Electronics. We can consider the Volume Meter as an Equalizer, which is present in the Music systems. In which we can see the dancing of LEDs according to the music, if music is loud then equalizer go to its peak and more LEDs will glow, and if music is low then lesser number of LEDs shall glow.…
