Hi Friends! Hope you are doing great. Today, I am going to give you a detailed Introduction to Arduino Uno. It is a microcontroller board developed by Arduino.cc and is based on Atmega328 Microcontroller. The first Arduino project was started in Interaction Design Institute Ivrea in 2003 by David Cuartielles and Massimo Banzi with the intention of providing a cheap and flexible way for students and professionals to learn embedded programming.
Arduino UNO is a very valuable addition in electronics that consists of a USB interface, 14 digital I/O pins(of which 6 Pins are used for PWM), 6 analog pins and an Atmega328 microcontroller. It also supports 3 communication protocols named Serial, I2C and SPI protocol. You should also have a look at this vid ...
Hello friends, hope you all are fine and having fun with your lives. Today, I am going to share a Traffic Signal Control using Arduino. Few days earlier, I have posted the same tutorial but it was Traffic Light Signal Using 555 Timer in Proteus ISIS and today we will do the same thing but using Arduino programming. Its quite a simple but good starting project on Arduino. So, if you are new to Arduino then must give it a try.
Traffic Signal Control is quite a usual thing. We see traffic signals daily on our roads and usually engineers are asked to design such projects in their initial semesters. If we look at the traffic signals then we can see they are simply turning ON and OFF lights at some fixed regular intervals. and the pattern is quite simpl ...
Hi Guys! Hope you’re well today. Happy to see you around. Today, I’ll walk you through the Introduction to IRF520.The IRF520 is an N-channel power MOSFET mainly used for switching and amplification purposes. It comes with a breakdown voltage of around 100V and a low gate threshold voltage is 4V, making it an ideal pick for microcontroller applications.
I suggest you read this post all the way through as I’ll detail the complete Introduction to IRF520 covering datasheet, pinout, features, and applications.
Let’s get started.
Introduction to IRF520 MOSFET
The IRF520 is an N-channel power MOSFET mainly used for switching and amplification purposes.
It comes with three terminals named: gate, source, and drain and is available in the TO-220 package.
It is important to note t ...
Hello everyone! I hope you all will be absolutely fine and having fun. Today, I am going to share my knowledge with all of you guys about DC Current Sensor ACS712 Arduino Interfacing. First of all, I would like to tell you about importance of current sensing/measuring. Sensing the amount of current passing through any circuit can be useful in a lot of applications. For example, in low power consuming equipment, current sensing will be helpful to understand the system's impact on its battery life. The current sensing can also be used to make the decisions regarding safety in over current protection circuits.
Simply, we can say that sensing and controlling the flow of the current through the circuits is now a fundamental requirement e.g. over curr ...
Hello, learners welcome to The Engineering Projects. We are working on MATLAB, and in this tutorial, you are going to learn a lot about matrices in MATLAB. We are going to learn them from scratch, but we will avoid unnecessary details about the topic. So, without wasting time, have a look at the topics that you will learn in detail.
What is an array?
What is the matrix?
How can we declare a matrix in MATLAB?
What are the different types of matrices?
Can we find the unknown values of two equal matrices?
How can we solve the simultaneous equation in MATLAB?
What is an Array?
In this world of technology, the use of data is everywhere, and therefore, we can say there is a need for arrays in every field. You will find the reason soon. But before this, look at the introduction of a ...
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, 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 Everyone! Happy to see you around. Thank you for clicking this read. In this post today, I’ll document the Introduction to MJE13007.
MJE13007 is an NPN bipolar junction transistor that is a semiconductor device made of silicon material. This chip is mainly used for amplification and switching purposes. The collector-base voltage is 700V while the collector-emitter voltage is 400V. The power dissipation at temp 25C is 80W. This means 80W is released during the working of this device. This device can support load up to 8A because the current at the collector side is 8A.
I suggest you read this entire post till the end as I’ll include the complete Introduction to MJE13007 covering datasheet, pinout, working principle, power ratings, applications, and physical dimensions.
Let’s ...

In the previous tutorial, we have seen how to Get Started with Pixy Camera, which was quite a basic tutorial and we have covered just the basic cables required to set up pixy camera. Now along with cables we are also gonna need software for training our Pixy Camera. So in this tutorial we are gonna see how to install Pixy Camera Software which is named as PixyMon. As I explained earlier in previous post that first of all, we need to connect our Pixy Camera with Computer or laptop and then using its software PixyMon we need to train our Pixy Camera so that it can recognize objects present in front of it.
PixyMon is quite a simple software and quite easy to use. In this post, we are not gonna check How to use PixyM ...
