Build an Interactive Robotic Arm using PIC Microcontroller How to Build an Interactive Robotic Arm using PIC Microcontroller?

Robotic arms are widely used in industrial automation, research, and educational projects. Building and controlling one is a great way to learn the fundamentals of embedded systems, motion control, and robotics.

In this project, we will design and build a 4-degree-of-freedom (4-DOF) robotic arm controlled…

Vishay Launches Compact IP67 Multi-Turn Trimmers Vishay Launches TSM41 IP67 Multi-Turn SMD Cermet Trimmers for Harsh Environments

Vishay Intertechnology has introduced the TSM41 series of industrial-grade, multi-turn surface-mount cermet trimmers. They are designed to fit constrained applications and work in harsh environments, with a 4 mm by 4 mm size, -55 °C to +140 °C range, and IP67 sealing. They occupy less space on a circuit board compared to older versions, as the case is 42% smaller.

The range of…

Arduino Based Gas Leakage Detector Gas Leakage Detector Using Arduino: Complete DIY Guide

Gas leaks can pose serious safety risks, especially in homes, kitchens, and small commercial spaces. In this project, you'll learn how to build a simple and budget-friendly gas leakage detector using Arduino. This LPG gas leak detector uses an Arduino Uno and MQ-5 gas sensor to detect gas levels in the air and activates a buzzer and LED to alert users when a leak is…

Build a DIY Arduino Bottle Labeling Machine A DIY Bottle Labeler Automated with Arduino

Labeling bottles manually takes a good chunk of time and effort. Addressing this, the YouTube channel Easy Home Made Projects has developed a DIY automatic labeling machine using an Arduino Nano, a smart solution to speed up labeling on cylindrical bottles.

The project includes 3D-printed parts, wooden supports, and a repurposed mini conveyor belt. The working combines stepper motors,…

High Power Boost Converter Circuit using TL494 Designing a High Power, High Efficiency Boost Converter using TL494

In this article, we are going to design a TL494 Boost converter, and calculate and test a high-efficiency boost converter circuit based on the popular TL494 IC, which has a minimum supply voltage of 7V and a maximum of 40V, and as we are using the IRFP250 MOSFET as a switch, this circuit can handle a maximum current of 19Amps, theoretically (Limited by Inductor…

ESP32 Development Board Tutorial ESP32 PWM Tutorial: Controlling the Brightness of LED

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a technique that varies the width of a pulse while keeping the wave frequency constant. The PWM technique mainly used to control the brightness of the LED, speed of DC motor, controlling a servo motor, or in other cases, where have to generate an analog signal using a digital source. We explained the PWM in detail in the previous article.…

Stereo Audio Pre-Amplifier Circuit using Transistor Stereo Audio Pre-Amplifier Circuit with Bass and Treble Control using Transistors

Often times, we need to control bass, treble, and volume of our audio signal before passing it through amplification stages to prevent sound distortion. The circuit that amplifies the audio signal before it enters the main speaker amplifier is called an Audio Preamplifier. The use of an audio pre-amplifier ensures good audio quality and provides options to modify our sound…

Calibration of Ammeter and Voltmeter using Potentiometer Calibration of Ammeter, Voltmeter, and Wattmeter using Potentiometer

We know that voltage, current, and power are measured in volts, amps and, watts and voltmeter, ammeter, and wattmeter are used to measure these parameters. Though these measuring instruments are manufactured with the care they may still give error readings at the customer end. So these instruments are calibrated to minimize the error. Here in this article, we will explain…

Digital Oscilloscope using STM32 Microcontroller How to Build a DIY Digital Oscilloscope using STM32 Microcontroller

An oscilloscope is the one instrument every electronics engineer reaches for when a circuit misbehaves. A multimeter tells you a single number, but an oscilloscope shows how a voltage changes over time: the shape of a PWM signal, the bounce of a switch, or the ripple on a sensor output. Bench oscilloscopes are expensive, though, and the best way to understand how one…
