Hello everyone! I hope you will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to give you a detailed Introduction to ULN2003. We will also discuss the ULN2003 Datasheet, Pinout, Circuit Diagram & Proteus Simulation. If you have ever controlled any motor (i.e. DC Motor, Stepper Motor etc.) with a microcontroller (i.e. PIC, Arduino etc.), then you must have heard about drivers. Why do we need to use drivers? We use drivers (to control motors) because of two reasons.
First: Microcontrollers operate at 5V while motors operate at different voltages (5V, 12V, 24V etc.).
Second: Motors are Inductive loads thus they produce back emf, which may damage your microcontroller permanently (if not handled correctly).
Because of these two reasons, we have to use the driver in between t ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, we are gonna design a project named DC Motor Control using XBee & Arduino in Proteus ISIS. I have shared the complete code and have also explained it in detail. You can also download the complete working Proteus Simulation given at the end of this tutorial. In this project, I have designed two Proteus Simulations.
The first Simulation is of Remote control in which I have used a keypad. The second simulation contains our two DC Motors and I am controlling the direction of those DC Motors with my Remote Control. XBee Module is used for sending wireless data. The code will also work on hardware as I have tested it myself. So, let's get started with DC Motor Control using XBee &am ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are happy, healthy and, content. We have been discussing transistors lately, from the basic definition to the types and characteristics of transistors we have covered it all. If you have a brief idea about transistors, you must be aware of the field effect transistor or you might have heard or read about it somewhere, it is one of the earliest known types of transistors which is our topic of discussion today.
Field Effect Transistors were made to cover up the lacking of previously known transistors which occupied large space and produced a lot of noise, another major problem was the low reliability of previous versions. So, let's get started with the FETs.
Definition of Field Effect Transistor
Let us define field effect transistor first,
"The Field e ...
Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, I am going to give you a detailed Introduction to Arduino YUN, and we will also have a look at its basic functionalities. Arduino YUN is a latest microcontroller board, manufactured by Arduino. It's the most advanced and highly stylish arduino board. The beauty of Arduino YUN lies in having two on board processors, which I haven't seen yet in any other Microcontroller board. One of them is simple Arduino processor which is similar to that of Arduino Leonardo while the second processor is Atheros AR9331. Atheros supports Linux server, which is the new thing in Arduino YUN. Because of these two processors, one now can do anything in the world of automation as well as web servers. ...
Hi Guys! I welcome you on board. Thank you for clicking this read. In this post today, I’ll walk you through the Introduction to MJE13009.
MJE13009 is a semiconductor device made of silicon material that falls under the category of NPN transistors. This device is mainly used for switching and amplification purposes. The power dissipation of this device is 100W and the emitter-base voltage is 9V which is the amount of voltage needed to bias the device.
I suggest you read this post all the way through as I’ll describe the complete Introduction to MJE13009 covering datasheet, pinout, features, and applications.
Let’s get started.

Hey Friends! Hope you are doing well. Today, I'll discuss the details on How to use digitalWrite Arduino Command. The digitalWrite command in Arduino is used for writing the status of the digital Pin. The Pin assigned to this command must be an OUTPUT pin so that it can transfer data to other components like LEDs, motors, and actuators and use them as per your needs and requirements.
Arduino boards have always been a great choice for both experts and newbies, as they come with built-in peripheral functions, and no need of external components is required to drive automation and develop some basic functions on the relevant project.
Basic Arduino Software is used as a compiler and no separate burner is required to burn the required code into the boa ...
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, ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are fine. In today's tutorial, I am going to share the Raspberry Pi Pico Library for Proteus. It's a dummy library, we have just designed the display. We can't add the Python Code to it, but we can make it work with Arduino code. A mixture of Arduino and Raspberry Pi, I have given it an unofficial name "Arduino Pi". It's better to have something than nothing. You can design circuit diagrams using this library and can also demonstrate your project in presentations by designing simulations.So, let's have a look at How to simulate Raspberry Pi Pico by adding this Proteus Library:
Raspberry Pi Pico Library for Proteus
First of all, we need to download the zip file of Proteus Library for Raspberry Pi Pico, by clicking the below button:Raspberry Pi Pico Library ...
Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to share a detailed Introduction to MC34063. It's normally required for the construction of DC to DC converters. MC34063 has a high current output switch, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) controller with current limiting, compensated reference of internal temperature, a comparator and a driver.
For the inverting, boost and buck applications there is no need of a huge complicated external components, instead they can be performed using minimum external components. MC 34063 operates properly in the temperature ranging from 0 to 70 degree celsius. MC34063 ha s wide range of applications in real life e.g. portable equipment, Human Machine Interface (HMI), test and m ...
Hi Friends! Hope you are doing well. I am back to give you a daily dose of useful information so you can excel and improve as per your technical needs and requirements. Today, I'll uncover the details on the Introduction to ATmega8. It is an 8-bit AVR microcontroller that is based on RISC CMOS technology and comes with a 28-pin interface for the PDIP package. The Program memory is 8K Flash while RAM and EEPROM are 1K and 512 bytes respectively.
Microchip has been the main source for producing PIC and AVR microcontrollers that are mainly used in embedded and industrial automation systems. These modules can perform a number of functions on a tiny chip, preventing you from spending too much and purchasing external components for laying out automation ...
