Hey guys! hope you are all very well. Today I come to you with a new process to learn, program, and simulate for practicing ladder logic more and more. The process we are going to implement today is a very common process that could be there in many many industries which is a silo process that aims to automate the process of filling containers or bottles with a liquid. Figure 1 shows the complete scene of the process including the system components, switches, indicators, sensors, and actuators that are integrated to make the system operate. Briefly and before going into deep details, let’s state what the system does and how it operates. Well! The system automatically fills the boxes that are traveling on the conveyor which is driven by a motor. They are filled with a liquid stored in the si ...
In the previous tutorial, we have discussed the basics of ESP8266 modules and have also had a look at the different WiFi modules based on ESP8266. In today's tutorial, we are going to set up Arduino Environment for NodeMCU Programming. Today we will prepare the development environment and build code to blink an LED and report status on the Serial Port (to validate the configuration). We will use the Arduino IDE for coding and the NodeMCU board (a module that works with an ESP8266). Simple integration. Zero hardware complexity.
The ESP8266 is an extremely robust and versatile microcontroller, which has proven to be a powerful tool in building Internet of Things solutions. What makes the ESP8266 such a popular tool is the perfect integration between ...
Hello readers, today we will learn about the messaging protocol supported by ESP32(called MQTT protocol), which is used for IoT applications. The communication protocol to be used for data transmission and connectivity in web-enabled devices depends upon the type of IoT application.
The Internet of Things (IoT) is a network of interconnected computing devices like digital machines, automobiles with inbuilt sensors, having unique identifiers and the ability to communicate data over a network without the need for human intervention.
Before implementation, let's first have a look at what is MQTT Protocol?
What is MQTT?
MQTT stands for Message Queuing Telemetry Protocol and is a messaging or communication protocol used for IoT applications.
In MQ ...
Hi Friends! Hope you’re well today. In this post today, I’ll walk you through the detailed Introduction to Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3.The Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3 is a microcontroller board that is based on the ATmega2560 microcontroller.
The Arduino boards are widely used in the automation industry and embedded projects. Other boards like Arduino Uno, Arduino Nano, Arduino Every, Arduino Beetle all seem a good pick for the projects that require little memory to store the program. However, when the nature of projects becomes complex, requiring more memory and a rich set of I/O interfaces, the Arduino Mega 2560 Rev3 comes into play. In order to power up these Arduino boards, we need to use a Power supply for electronics or we can also use the USB port on ...
An Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) converts a continuous signal (usually a voltage) into a series of discrete values ??(sequences of bits). The main features are:
Resolution (in analog terms): It is the minimum variation of the analog input voltage that can determine the variation of the LSB, that is of the least significant bit of the output code. Since the quantization step Q corresponds to the LSB, it can be said that the resolution coincides with the quantization step Q (and therefore is measured in Volts). We can say that the quantization step Q corresponds to the LSB because two contiguous quantization bands, each of amplitude Q, are identified by codes that differ only for the least significant bit.
Resolution (in digital terms): It is the number n of bits present at the co ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, we are gonna have a look at 10 Engineering Writing Prompts Mastering the Written Form of Communication. Get surprised that engineers should be effective in writing as most humanities-minded people do? Yes, there is a problem among most specialists, who have technical knowledge. They can’t share their knowledge in a way that’s easy to understand for the audience that has no bearing on the subject. So any written paper should be clear, concise and coherent. As the world of engineering is expanding dramatically today, engineers need to develop new strategies for presenting the research ideas and results to the non-engineering audience. So how to do it effectively? You can use a lot of ...
Hello readers, we hope you all are doing great. Welcome to the 1st lecture of Section 4 in the ESP32 Programming Series. In this section, we will interface the ESP32 module with common Embedded modules(i.e. LCD, Keypad, RTC etc.).
In today's tutorial, we will interface ESP32 with a 16x2 LCD and will display data using both Data Mode and I2C Mode. LCD is the most commonly used embedded module in IoT Projects. It is used to display different types of data i.e. sensor readings, warning messages, notifications etc.
Before going forward, let's first have a look at what is LCD and How it works:
16x2 LCD Module
LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) is a type of electronic display module that is used in a wide variety of applications and devices such as calculators, computers, mobile phones, ...
Hi guys! Hope you’re well today. In this post today, I’ll cover What is Industrial IoT (Internet of Things?)
IIoT is now a talk of mainstream conversation. This term has blown up in the past couple of years. Before we move further to describe IIoT, it is evident that industries are no longer dependent on the traditional production processes that happened to be costly and guaranteed no optimal results. Now companies are willing to incorporate automation in manufacturing and production processes. Smart systems, no doubt, are dangerous for the traditional labor workforce, but on the other hand, they create more opportunities for the people equipped with the latest business trends.
Curious to know more about Industrial IoT, how does it work, the difference between IoT and IIoT, examples of II ...
Hey Guys! I always strive to keep you updated with useful information that helps you solve your relevant problems. Today, I'm going to unlock the details on the Guest Blogging: How it is used and effect your SEO?
This is the tenth article on complete SEO series. You can also have a look at my previous article on Forum Posting.
Guest blogging, also known as guest posting, is not a new concept. It is defined as writing a blog post for someone else's blog to get a backlink and organic traffic in return. This approach is very helpful, specially for new bloggers who want to show their online presence in limited time.
Guest blogging helps in building a relationship with fellow bloggers in your niche where you can show your skills and knowledge by ...
