DIY ESP32 Based Audio Player DIY Music players are fun to build, and we previously built a few music players using Arduino and a dedicated MP3 module. Now we are using the ESP32 speaker output to build an interesting audio player, in which you can add sound effects by just connecting an extra speaker to the ESP32. Here we will use LM386 and a speaker with ESP32 to play music files. The audio… |

Li-Fi based Text Communication between Two Arduino Li-Fi (Light Fidelity) is an advanced technology that allows transferring data using optical communication, such as visible light. Li-Fi data can travel through the light and then be interpreted on the receiver side using any light-sensitive device, like an LDR or a photodiode. Li-Fi communication can be 100 times faster than Wi-Fi. In this comprehensive guide, we'll… |

Digital Audio Volume Control Circuit using PT2258 IC and Arduino A potentiometer is a mechanical device using which one can set the resistance according to the desired value, thus changing the current passing through it. There exist many applications for a potentiometer, but mostly, a potentiometer is used as a volume controller for audio amplifiers. The digital volume control circuit is an electronic circuit that accurately adjusts… |

Introduction to Impedance Matching and How to use an Impedance Matching Transformer for your Design If you are an RF Design Engineer or anyone who has worked with Wireless Radios, the term “Impedance Matching” should have struck you more than once. The term is crucial because it directly affects the transmission power and thus the range of our Radio modules. This article aims to help you understand what Impedance Matching is from the basics and will also help you to design… |

Relaxation Oscillator using Op-amp An operational amplifier is an integral part of Electronics, and we previously learned about Op-amps in various op-amp-based circuits and also built many oscillator circuits using op-amps and other electronics components. An oscillator generally refers to the circuit which produces periodic and repetitive output, like a sine wave or square wave… |

Interfacing ADXL345 Accelerometer with Arduino UNO We all know about accelerometers and gyroscopes; they are primarily used to detect acceleration. While an Accelerometer can measure linear acceleration, the gyroscope can help find the rotational acceleration. A gyroscope is used to measure angular velocity, which uses the Earth’s gravity to determine the orientation of the object in motion. There is a sensor like… |

Designing OR Gate using Transistor As many of us know an Integrated Circuit or IC is a combination of many small circuits in a small package which together performs a task. Like an Operational Amplifier or 555 Timer IC is built by a combination of many Transistors, Flip-Flops, Logic Gates and other combinational digital circuits. Similarly a Flip-Flop can be built by using a combination of Logic Gates and the… |

Arduino Sleep Modes and How to use them to Save the Power Power consumption is a critical issue for a device running continuously for a long time without being turned off. So to overcome this problem, almost every controller comes with an Arduino sleep mode, which helps developers to design electronic gadgets for optimal power consumption. Sleep mode puts the device in power-saving mode by turning off the unused module. Whether you… |

Controlling NEMA 17 Stepper Motor with Arduino and A4988 Stepper Driver Module A stepper motor is a type of DC motor that works in discrete steps and is used everywhere from a surveillance camera to sophisticated robots and machines. NEMA 17 stepper motor provide accurate control and can be differentiated based on torque, steps per revolution, and input voltage. In our previous project, we controlled a 28-BYJ48 stepper motor using Arduino. 28-… |

LED VU Meter using LM3914 and LM358 We can consider the Volume Meter as an Equalizer, which is present in the Music systems. In which we can see the dancing of lights (LEDs) according to the music, if the music is loud, equalizer reaches to its peak and in low music it remains Low. We have also built a Volume Meter or VU meter, with the help of MIC, OP-AMP and LM3914, which glows the LEDs as per strength of… |

Measure Sound/Noise Level in dB with Microphone and Arduino Noise pollution has really started to gain importance due to high population density. A normal human ear could hear sound levels from 0dB to 140dB in which sound levels from 120dB to 140dB are considered to be noise. Loudness or sound levels are commonly measured in decibel(dB), we have some instruments which could measure the sound signals in dB but these meters are… |
