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.
After developing few popular robotic projects like line follower robot, edge avoiding robot, DTMF robot, gesture controlled robot, etc. in this project we are going to develop a bluetooth controlled robo car. Here we used a Bluetooth module to control the car, and it is also an android based application.

In this tutorial we will develop a circuit using Force sensor, Arduino Uno and a servo motor. It will be a servo control system where the servo shaft position is determined by the weight present on the force sensor. Before going any further let’s talk about about the servo and other components.
Servo Motors are used where there is a need for accurate shaft movement or…
In this session we are going to design an 8x8 LED display with 8x8 LED matrix and ATmega8 microcontroller, which can show alphabets or names. A typical 8x8 led matrix is show below:
A 8x8 LED matrix contains 64 LED (Light Emitting Diodes) which are arranged in the form of a matrix, hence the name LED matrix.…
Here we are going to establish a communication between an ATmega8 microcontroller and Arduino Uno. The communication established here is UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver Transmitter) type. It’s serial communication. By this serial communication data can be shared between two controllers, which is a required in various embedded system applications.
…In this project, we are going to develop an RFID and keypad based Security system. This project is implemented by using 8051 microcontroller. RFID Tecnology (Radio Frequency Identification and Detection) is commonly used in schools, colleges, office and stations for various purposes to automatically authenticate people with valid RFID tags. Here we will check the RFID…
In this project we will develop a tone generator using Arduino Uno. We will have buttons interfaced with the UNO and each one of them generates different intensity of tone. The frequency of tone generated by the UNO is same at every internal. It’s the intensity of the sound which changes with each press. This is the one of the easiest way to make a piano with…
In this tutorial, we will develop a 5V variable voltage source from Arduino Uno. For that, we are going to use ADC (Analog to Digital Conversion) and PWM (Pulse Width Modulation) features.
Some digital electronic modules, like accelerometers, work on a voltage of 3.3V, and some work on 2.2V. Some even work on lower voltages. With this, we cannot get…
In this tutorial we are going to develop a circuit using FLEX sensor, Arduino Uno and a Servo motor. This project is a servo control system where the servo shaft position is determined by the flex or bent or deviation of the FLEX sensor.We have also covered how to interface flex sensor with Arduino, you can also check out that tutorial if intrested.
…In this project we are going to interface 5 RGB (Red Green Blue) LEDs to Arduino Uno. These LEDs are connected in parallel for reducing PIN usage of Uno.
A typical RGB LED is shown in below figure:
The RGB LED will have four pins as shown in figure.
PIN1: Color…
In this project we are going to design an 8x8 LED matrix display, for that we are going to interface an 8x8 LED matrix module with Arduino Uno. An 8x8 LED matrix contains 64 LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) which are arranged in the form of a matrix, hence the name LED matrix.
These matrixes can be made by…
In this tutorial we are going to interface an Optocoupler with ATMEGA8 microcontroller. Octocouplers are fascinating devices used to isolate the electronic and electrical circuits. This simple device isolates the sensitive electronics from robust electronics like motors, yet keeping the load in control over the source.
