Hello everyone, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, we are gonna have a look at How to design a Smoke Detector with Arduino. Its quite a simple project but if you are working on any security project then you must add this feature in it. You should also download this Gas Sensor Library for Proteus, and design its simulation.
I will use gas sensor MQ2 for this project. I have purchased MQ2 Gas Sensor module as its quite easy to interface with Arduino. Arduino board I'm using is Arduino UNO. I have also designed an LPG Gas Leak Detect using Arduino using this MQ2 Sensor. So, let's get started with How to design Smoke Detector with Arduino & MQ2 Sensor.
Smoke Detector with Arduino & MQ2 Sensor
First of all, we need to conn ...
Hello friends, I hope you’re all well and healthy. In today’s tutorial, we will be going through a simple, yet effective practice to design a 4-way traffic light simulation in Proteus software. This project is designed for undergrad engineering students with majors in electronics, electrical and mechatronics engineering. It is also useful for people that want to learn the basics of circuit design and Arduino programming.
4-Way Traffic Light Control using Arduino:
Traffic lights are an integral part of the world’s transportation systems. Over the years a number of different algorithms regarding traffic lights have been developed. The algorithm being used at any place for the purpose of controlling traffic takes into account of various factors, such ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorial, I am going to share a new Rain Sensor Library for Proteus. I have got a lot of requests for designing this sensor. So finally it has been designed by our team and is ready to use in your Proteus Simulations.
Rain Sensor, as the name shows, is used for detection of rain and is common sensor used in Embedded Systems Projects. Both analog and digital rain sensors are available these days but we have only designed the digital Rain Sensor. It will give digital output and its output will be HIGH when there's rain and will remain LOW if it won't detect any rain.
As Proteus is a simulation software and we can't actually bring the rain so that's why I have placed a TestPin. If you apply H ...
Hey Guys! I hope you all are doing great. In the previous tutorial, we studied the basics of Semiconductors, where we briefly discussed the PN Junction. Today, we are going to have a detailed overview of PN Junction.
But before getting into the details of PN Junction, we need to first recall a few concepts from the previous lecture:
Semiconductor Basics
As we know, the conductive power of a semiconductor material lies between a conductor and an insulator. So, it can act as a pure conductor as well as a pure insulator, depending on the applied conditions. Semiconductors are divided into two types:
Intrinsic Semiconductor.
Extrinsic Semiconductor.
Intrinsic Semiconductor
A semiconductor in its pure form is called an Intrinsic semiconductor. In this state, the outermost valan ...
Hi Friends! Hope you are doing well. I always feel pleasure to keep you updated with information related to engineering and technology. Today, I'll unlock the detailed Introduction to LED. The LED stands for Light-emitting diode. LED is a PN-junction diode mainly used as the source of light.
The LED has a leg over common orthodox incandescent light in terms of efficiency, low consumption power, compact size, longer range and an ability to retain the quality for a longer period of time. It comes with a wide variety of applications ranging from automotive headlamps, camera flashes, aviation lighting, traffic signal, and medical devices.
In this post, I'll try to cover each and everything related to LED, so you don't need to wrestle your mind browsin ...
In today’s post, as the name suggests, we will see how to get data from online webserver using Arduino Wifi in simple steps. Getting data from web server using Arduino Wifi Shield has always remained a problem for the engineers. Its not much difficult task as its usually considered to be. In today’s post, I will create a small project in which I will control two simple LEDs via online web server. It’s really a very interesting project and when I completed it, I felt like Hurrah!!!
Arduino Wifi Shield is used to connect Arduino board with Wifi. After connectivity with Wifi, one can perform many tasks using this shield. We can built a complete server on it and can also use it as a client. Server designed on an Arduino Wifi Shield are usually quite si ...
Hello friends, I hope you all are doing great. In today's tutorials, I am gonna share a new C945 Library for Proteus. If you have searched for this transistor in Proteus, then you must have known that it's not available in Proteus. We have designed this transistor in Proteus and here's its library.
If you don't know much about this transistor then you should have a look at Introduction to C945, in which I have explained in detail the basics of this transistor. Today, first of all, I will show you How to install this library and after that we will design a simple Proteus Simulation in which we will see How to simulate C945 in Proteus. You should also check this amazing list of New Proteus Libraries for Engineering Students. So, let's get started wi ...
Hello guys! I hope you’re all in a good mood today because we are going to review the design of an interesting project today. We’ll be looking to design 4-way traffic lights in such a way that their delay is variable and is dependent upon the traffic density. This project is of intermediate difficulty level for people studying in undergrad engineering school with electronics, electrical and mechatronics as their major. It is also for the people learning Arduino and basic circuit design on their own or through some course. We have already designed a Simple 4-Way Traffic Light Control using Arduino and today we will make it smart by adding a variable delay.
Variable 4 Way Traffic Light:
As you all already know the importance of traffic lights and t ...
Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to share my knowledge on Introduction to LM348. LM-348 i basically a General Purpose (GP) Operational Amplifier. It is an independent and quadruple operational amplifier. LM 348 has similar characteristics in comparison to uA741. It is an internally compensated amplifier having high gain.
LM-348 has four internal amplifiers. We can achieve isolation between these amplifiers by biasing each of the amplifier independently. This isolation can be done using different techniques e.g. layout technique. It can be used at several different places where amplifier matching is needed. LM 348 has very low supply current drain as compared to the standard 741. Moreover, I ...
Hi Guys! Hope this finds you well. I welcome you on board. Thank you for clicking this read. In this post today, I’ll be explaining the Introduction to BC559.
BC559 is a bipolar junction transistor used to drive loads under 100mA. It falls under the family of PNP transistors and is mainly known as a current-controlled device. Where small current at one terminal is used to drive large current change at the remaining two terminals.
Read this post all the way through, as I’ll be touching pinout, working, datasheet, physical dimensions, power ratings, and applications of a BC559 transistor.
Let’s get started.
Introduction to BC559
BC559 is a PNP bipolar junction transistor mainly employed for amplification and switching applications.
