Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, we are gonna have a look at detailed Introduction to DS1307. DS1307 is a real-time clock. It is a low power device and also has battery backup, which provides power when its external power supply not working or is off. It works on the I2C protocol. It is a bidirectional device and it can send and receive data on both sides.
DS1307 is used in industrial projects where constant time and date of some projects or working is required. I will give you a detailed overview of this time and date indicator IC. In today's post, we will have a look at its pinout, working, basic circuit, protocol, etc. I will also share some links of projects where I have interfaced it with Arduino and some other Microcontrollers. Friends, if y ...

Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun. Today's post is about Power Factor Measurement using Microcontroller in Proteus ISIS. As usual, I have this project simulation in which I have to simulate a power factor measuring project using atmega microcontroller. So, I use atmega8 microcontroller and the used Proteus ISIS as the simulating software. Power Factor Measurement isn't that difficult but its a quite tricky and in today's post we are gonna cover it in full detail.
There are many ways for power factor measurement and today's the method we are gonna use is called zero crossing detection. We will first detect the zero crossing of our signal and then we are gonna do the power factor measurement based on the detectio ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. In today's post we are gonna see Interfacing of EasyVR with Arduino UNO. In the previous post, we have seen Getting Started with EasyVR Commander. It was quite simple and if you follow the steps carefully you wont stuck anywhere but still if you into some trouble i am here.
Now this tutorial is quite a quick and important one as it contains the real code using which we will control our robot. After adding the voice commands, now close the EasyVR Commander and open the Arduino Software. Connect the arduino board with computer and double check that your jumper J12 in on position SW. You should also read Training Error: Recognition Failed in EasyVR, if you got such error while ...
In today's post we are gonna have a look at How to Train Pixy Camera with Computer. We have yet posted three tutorials in the Pixy Camera series. In the first tutorial, we have seen How to Get Started with Pixy Camera in which we have studied the basics of Pixy Camera. After that that we have seen the Installation of Pixy Camera Software which is named as PixyMon and in the third tutorial we have covered How to Upload the Latest Firmware in Pixy Camera because its always the best strategy to deal with latest tools. So until now we have configured our Pixy Camera in all possible ways now the next thing is to train our Pixy Camera with Computer using PixyMon software.
Let's first discuss How the Pixy Camera works. Pixy Camera has on board NXP microc ...
Hello friends! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to give you an elaboration on Introduction to 20N60. 20-N-60 is basically a power Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET). Power MOSFET is a device that can handle a specific level of power. I have already shared information about MOSFET in my previous tutorials e.g. Introduction to 75N75, SG3524, 50N06, IRFZ44N, C945 and TL072. Before going into the details of this article you must have a look at these articles. They will result in the better understanding of this article.
MOSFET family is divided into two categories. P-channel MOSFET and N-channel MOSFET. 20-N-60 belongs to the N-channel MOSFET. It is based on United Technologies Corporat ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, I am going to explain the Relay Interfacing with Microcontroller using ULN2003A. In the previous lecture, we have discussed the detailed Introduction to Relay along with its working. Now we are going to practically interface the relay with a microcontroller to design an automatic switch. Relay is a key component in almost every electronic circuit. It can be
used as a switch and can also be used as a voltage regulator.The microcontroller I am going to use here is PIC18F4552 but you can use any other Microcontroller. You just need to change the syntax of coding but the logic will remain the same. Here, I am using ULN2003A to control the relay and from this relay, we can control anything.So, let's get started:
Relay Inte ...
Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to provide a detailed discussion on Flame Sensor Arduino Interfacing. Flame sensor is an electronic device which is capable of sensing/detection of fire or a high temperature zone. It gives an indication through an LED attached at its top, just after sensing the fire. These type of sensors are usually used for short ranges. They are able to detect the fire up to 3 feet. Flame sensors is the most common device available in the market these days due to its good results and cost efficiency. You should also have a look at Flame Sensor Library for Proteus.
Flame sensors are available in the market in two types one having three pins and the other having four pins ...
Hi Folks! I welcome you on board. Thank you for clicking this read. In this post today, I’ll detail the Introduction to MUR460.
The MUR460 is a switch-mode rectifier used in inverters, switching power supplies, and as a freewheeling diode.
Just stay with me for a little while as I’ll be discussing the complete introduction to MUR460 covering pinout, features, working, and applications of this component.
Let’s get started.
Introduction to MUR460
The MUR460 is a diode used as a rectifier in high frequency and freewheeling applications, in switching mode converters, and as an inverter in telecommunication.
When this p-n junction diode is used as a rectifier it coverts AC signals to DC signals. The rectifier diode provides an alternating volta ...
Hi Friends! We welcome you on board. Electronic industry is already filled with a number of devices and components that help ease the daily life of a common man. However, there is always much room for innovation in the electronics industry when it comes to facilitating the customers. When there comes a requirement for switching and amplification, there is a need for transistors. Today, I am going to unlock the details on the Introduction to TIP120. This is an NPN Darlington transistor which is mainly used for general purpose amplification and medium power switching applications.
It comes with a Darlington pair in which two transistors are connected in such a way, the current amplified by the one transistor is being amplified further by the other ...
Hello everyone I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to share my knowledge on Introduction to TL494. It supports all of the functions that are necessary for the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control circuits. Power supply control is the basic purpose of the TL494 device. It has an output control circuit, a flipflop, dead time comparator, two different error amplifiers, 5V reference voltage, oscillator and a PWM comparator. TL 494 operates properly between the frequency of 1kHz to 300kHz.
The Dead Time Comparator (DTC) provides around 5% of dead time. Both of the error amplifiers display a common-mode voltage from -0.3V to (Vcc-2)V. If we provide a sawtooth wave at the CT terminal and terminate RT to the referenc ...
