Hello friends, I hope you all are happy, healthy, and, content. Today, our discussion is all about "Diodes". Whoever has been a science student, knows about diodes. Although it seems to be a tiny component of a circuit, apparently it is true but it has a lot of complexities or you can say, it's a storm in a teacup. You might have read a lot about diodes in physics, in today's discussion we would be moving step by step into the pool of diodes from definition to working of diodes, their types, and then lastly its applications. Let's get started!
Diode Definition
First things first, Let's define diode,
A diode is a basic discreet electronic component made up of semiconductor material, used in electronic circuits, which allows unidirectional c ...
Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today's post is about getting started with pixy camera. Now, the first thing comes in mind is what is Pixy Camera so let's first have a little introduction about Pixy Camera on which I recently worked. Pixy Camera is a small camera board which uses NXP microcontroller. Its a very powerful board and can get easily interfaced with simple Arduino UNO board. So, now we can do image processing even on Arduino UNO. Image Processing needs a powerful board that's why we can't interface simple webcam with Arduino UNO or mega etc. Before using pixy camera, when I need to do on board image processing I always used either Arduino YUN, Raspberry Pi or Arduino USB host shield but still it was ...
Hello knowledge seekers! welcome to an overview of thin film transistors. I hope you are doing well. Thin film transistors are crucial components of digital display. These transistors have radically transformed our devices and the lifestyle of digital display electronic users. These are the mainstay of major aspects of our lives, from our daily life devices to the big industries, security, medical equipment, and many other departments. These transistors are the driving force behind the success of flat panel displays and most probably, the displays you are reading this article on, such as laptops, mobile screens, monitors, LCDs, etc., using thin film transistors.Today, the motto of this long article is the exploration of thin film transistors. We’ll embark on the foundational introduction o ...
Hi readers! I hope you all are doing well and learning and exploring new things. We live in an era where technology is growing faster every day. Prototyping is the rough and simple model of the product that innovators want to introduce into the market. They perform tests, and if the results are unsatisfactory they fix the problem and reprocess them faster to beat the competition in the market. Rapid prototyping becomes crucial for the foundation of the development of modern products. Rapid prototyping sped up the path from the initial steps to the formation of the product. Rapid prototyping is highly demanded as compared to traditional methods because it is cost-effective, saves time, consumes fewer resources, and produces several products rapidly and efficiently.
In the early days, ...
According to NASA, areas in the north of the U.S will experience higher rainfall, increasingly extreme hurricanes, and sea levels will rise by about eight feet by 2100. With climate change, extreme weather events have become much more frequent, and their magnitude has increased globally. This scenario presents a significant risk to server rooms and data centers by increasing the likelihood of water and fire damage.
Can Your Data Center and Business Recover After a Natural Disaster?
Data loss or inaccessibility after a natural disaster is a significant concern. After Hurricane Sandy in 2012, data centers in Manhattan had to extract water from the generator rooms and restore switchgear to become operational. In the U.K., flooding in Leeds caused im ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today’s tutorial, we will have a look at What is Hall Effect Sensor and how to use for measurement of electromagnetism. As we can easily find the value of current flowing through any elements, by using ammeter, and galvanometer. But it is very challenging for us to measure the strength of the magnetic field. If we ask someone to find the magnetism and tell us its value. He will not have an answer to this question.
In 1879 an American physicist invented the hall effect sensor for the measurements of the electromagnetism. After the invention of Hall effect sensor, almost twenty years scientists were thinking about how we can use the Hall effect practically. With the simplification of the semiconduct ...
Update: Here's the latest version of this library: Arduino Library for Proteus V3.0
Hi Guys! I welcome you on board. In this post today, I’ll share a new Arduino Library for Proteus V2.0. I have already shared its previous version i.e. Arduino Library for Proteus(V1.0).I have tried to remove bugs in this newer version, but still, if you find any error, you can pop your comment in the below section.
I’m thrilled to announce that it’s my second complete Arduino Library for Proteus. In my recent posts, I’ve shared separate libraries of these boards and today I am going to compile all the boards together in a single library. I have given the Proteus Library zip file download link below:
This Arduino Proteus Library V2.0 includes the following boards:
Arduino UNO
Arduin ...
Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to share my knowledge about Multi Color Detection in MATLAB. Color Detection scheme plays a vital role at some places. Like in Image processing technique the detection of specific color among the different colors is necessary to perform some action on it. For example there are three cars of the colors red, blue and green and we want to wash the red car. You should also have a look at Color Detection in Images using MATLAB because I am gonna use the same code and will add some improvements in it. Moreover, if you are working on Live Videos instead of Images then you should have a look at Color Detection in Live Video using MATLAB.
For this purpose we need to ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share a complete project named as GSM Based Home Security System. I have designed its complete working simulation in Proteus and have used different libraries which you can also download from our blog. In the previous post, I have posted Home Automation Project using XBee & Arduino and today we are gonna work on Home Security System.
We have designed this simulation after a lot of efforts that's why we have placed a very small amount of $50 on it so that engineering students can download it and get knowledge from it. Moreover, as its a complex project so when you buy it then there's a chance that you can't run it by yourself so we also offer a free serv ...
Hi Friends! I welcome you on board. Happy to see you around. In this post today, I’ll detail the Introduction to CA3162.The CA3162 is a monolithic A/D converter, offering a 3-digit multiplexed BCD output. It comes with an ultra-stable internal band-gap voltage reference. With differential input, this device provides a choice of low-speed (4Hz) or high-speed (96Hz) conversion rate. It is a 16-pin device that provides dual slope A/D conversion.
I suggest you buckle up as I’ll walk you through the complete Introduction to CA3162 covering datasheet, pinout, features, and applications. Without further ado, let’s get started.
