Build a Smart Watch by Interfacing OLED Display with Android Phone using Arduino Build a Smart Watch by Interfacing OLED Display with Android Phone using Arduino

Most of us would be familiar with the 16×2 Dot matrix LCD display that is used in many projects to display some information to the user.  But these LCD displays have a lot of limitation in what they can do. In this tutorial, we will use OLED to display some basic information from the Android smartphone like Time, date, network strength and battery status…

Battery Management System (BMS) for Electric Vehicles Battery Management System (BMS) for Electric Vehicles

On 7th January 2013, a Boeing 787 flight was parked for maintenance, during that a mechanic noticed flames and smoke coming from the Auxiliary power unit (Lithium battery Pack) of the flight, which is used to power the electronic flight systems. Efforts were taken to put the fire off, but 10 days later before this issue could be resolved, on 16th January another battery…

 All you want to know about Electric Vehicle Batteries All you want to know about Electric Vehicle Batteries

The speed, mileage, torque and all such vital parameters of an electric car solely depends on the specification of the motor and the battery pack used in the car. While using a powerful motor is no big deal, the problem lies with designing a Battery Pack that could source enough current for the motor for long time without degrading its lifespan. To cope up with the voltage…

An Engineer's Introduction to Electric Vehicles (EVs) An Engineer's Introduction to Electric Vehicles (EVs)

According to a forecast by International Energy Agency, the use of Electric Vehicles will grow from 3 million to 125 million by the year 2030. That is almost 41 times of what it is today, with the increasing demand of fossil fuel and problems with pollution it seems most likely to happen. Owing to that, all major IC Engine Car manufacturers like Ford and GM are slowly…

DIY Self Balancing Robot using Arduino DIY Self Balancing Robot using Arduino

After being inspired by RYNO motors and other self-balancing scooters from Segway, I always wanted to build something of my own Arduino Segway Robot. Thinking for a while, I decided to build a Self Balancing Robot using Arduino. This way I would be able to grasp the underlying concept behind all these scooters and also learn how the PID algorithm works.
