Arduino Based 3-Way Traffic Light Controller Arduino Based 3-Way Traffic Light Controller

We all know about Arduino. It is one of the most popular open source micro controller board which is highly useful for doing DIY projects. This Arduino based 3-Way Traffic Light Controller is a simple Arduino DIY project which is useful to understand the working of traffic lights which we see around us. We have covered a more simpler version of traffic lights in this…

High Power (1W) LED Driver Circuit 1W LED Driver Circuit

High Power LED lights have lots of applications starting from Emergency lights to Head Lights in some expensive cars. These tiny little things illuminates a lot of area that we expect it to be, in this tutorial we will learn how easy it is to use one and how can we design our own circuit to drive such LEDs based in their operating current.

So let us…

555 Timer PWM Generator Circuit Generate Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) Signal using 555 Timer IC

Pulse Width Modulation using 555 timer is an important feature of today’s microcontroller due to its requirement for controlling many devices in almost every field of Electronics. PWM is widely used for motor control, lighting control, etc. Sometimes we do not use a microcontroller in our applications, and if we need to generate PWM without a microcontroller, then we prefer…

Strobe Light Circuit LED Strobe Light Circuit

In this project let us develop an LED Strobe light circuit using the popular 555 timer IC. A strobe light or a stroboscopic lamp is one which can produce regular flashes of light. We are designing this circuit using a 555 timer for setting the delay between each flash and a high power LED light as the source of light. At the end of this project we will learn how to use 555…

Simple Smoke Detector Alarm Circuit Simple Smoke Detector Alarm Circuit

Smoke Detectors are very useful in detecting smoke or fire in buildings, and so are important safety parameters. In this project, we are going to build a Simple Smoke Detector Circuit without using any Microcontroller. This circuit triggers the Buzzer whenever it detects Smoke or fire nearby. This circuit mainly uses the MQ6 Smoke/Gas sensor to…

Arduino Timer Tutorial Arduino Timer Tutorial

The Arduino Development Platform, at the beginning in 2005, was conceived to be a simple programmable device to be used specifically for art design work. The goal was to create an interface to support the design and use of simple electronics, working with Arduino timer functions without requiring deep programming expertise. This simplicity led to fast adoption by electronic…

UART Communication using PIC Microcontroller UART Communication using PIC Microcontroller

In this tutorial we learn to Enable UART communication with PIC Microcontroller and how to transfer data to and from your Computer. So far, we have covered all basic modules like ADC, Timers, PWM and also have learnt how to interface LCDs and 7-Segment displays.  Now, we will equip our self with a new communication tool called UART which widely used in most of the…

Controlling Raspberry Pi GPIO using Android App over Bluetooth Controlling Raspberry Pi GPIO using Android App over Bluetooth

Raspberry Pi is very popular for IoT projects because of its seamless ability of wireless communication over internet. Raspberry Pi 3 has inbuilt Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, and Bluetooth is a very popular wireless communication Protocol. So today we are going to Control Raspberry Pi GPIO Pin through an Android app using Bluetooth.

Here we are using…

Raspberry Pi PWM Tutorial Raspberry Pi PWM Tutorial

Raspberry Pi is an ARM architecture processor-based board designed for electronic engineers and hobbyists. The PI is one of the most trusted project development platforms available today. With a higher processor speed and 1 GB of RAM, the PI can be used for many high-profile projects, such as image processing and the Internet of Things.

To do…

Music Operated Dancing LEDs Music Operated Dancing LEDs

You must have seen the Disco Lights or DJ lights, which Turn ON and OFF according to the beats of the music. These lights glow according to the length and pitch (volume) of music beats, basically these are designed to pick the high intensity sound like Bass sound. So these lights follow the high pitch beats in music like drum beats, and Turn ON and OFF according to music…

Arduino 8x8 LED Matrix Display 8x8 LED Matrix using Arduino

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…
