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. Today, I am going to share the 10th chapter in the PCB learning series. So far, we have studied the basics of PCB i.e. What is PCB? Main Types of PCB, techniques to mount components on PCB etc. Now, we are ready to have a look at the complete PCB Fabrication Process.
So, in today's tutorial, I am going to share a detailed guide on PCB Fabrication Process. We will discuss everything related to it i.e. How PCB boards are manufactured? Which material is used to fabricate printed circuit boards? etc. But before starting the Fabrication PRocess, we first have to understand a few terms/features. So, let's get started:
PCB of DVD player:
RoHS-compliant P ...
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 ...
Hello geeks, Welcome to our new project. As most readers have already seen the coffee vending machine or maybe you are drinking coffee while reading this article and if you are a tinker or a geek, it must have come to your mind how to make a coffee vending machine on your own. In today's tutorial, we are going to learn how to make a Smart Coffee Vending Machine using Arduino with Proteus Simulation for the same.
We can use this project for an engineering project’s showcase for electronics, electrical engineering students, and can be used in offices as well.
Coffee is the second most popular drink in the world and it is one of the oldest beverages of the world. According to Wikipedia, more than 2 billion cups of coffee are consumed every day in the ...
Hello friends! I hope you are doing very well, today we have a very crucial topic which is “timers”. Yes! Exactly like what comes to your mind. For running equipment i.e. motor at a specific time and/or for some amount of time we need timers. Timers are used even before PLC in classic or relay logic conventional control. However, there is a big difference between capabilities and limitations between using physical timers in classic or old fashion relay logic and using software timers in PLC. By completing this article you will be able to know what are timers and their types and applications. In addition, we are going to show off how to use timers in ladder logic programming with examples.
What are timers used for in industrial applications?
Well! ...
In our previous articles, we grasp learn about examples, applications, and products of the internet of things. Now we try to understand how IoT has made our lives?
Thanks to the net, almost everybody – and everything – is connected.
Not solely is it easier and quicker than ever to speak with individuals and businesses everywhere on the planet, however, the net of Things (IoT) makes it potential for sensible devices to affix within the conversations, too.
IoT is quickly increasing, introducing new products all the time which will communicate with one another and transmit knowledge to support groups. ABI analysis estimates that IoT can grow to incorporate thirty billion connected devices by the year 2020. The application of IoT (Internet of things) i ...
Hello friends, I hope everything's going well. Today, I am going to share the 13th chapter in the PCB learning series, where we will discuss the single-layer PCB in detail i.e. definition, construction, advantages, manufacturing, applications etc. So let’s try to absorb everything about the single-layer PCB:
Single-layer PCB overview:
Just a quick recall, PCB stands for a printed circuit board having different electrical components connected with the help of pads and tracks of copper foil, incorporated on an insulating material(substrate).
Single-layer PCBs have only one conductive layer of copper. The PCB board itself has a total of 3 layers in single-layer PCB other than the copper layer which are substrate, solder mask, and silkscreen.
In the past, phenolic aldehyde was us ...
EEPROMs (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memories) allow the non-volatile storage of application data or the storage of small amounts of data in the event of a power failure. Using external memories that allow you to add storage capacity for all those applications that require data recording. We can choose many types of memories depending on the type of interface and their capacity.
EEPROMs are generally classified and identified based on the type of serial bus they use. The first two digits of the code identify the serial bus used:
Parallel: 28 (for example 28C512) much used in the past but now too large due to having many dedicated pins for parallel transmission
Serial I2C: 24 (for example 24LC256)
Serial SPI: 25 (for example 25AA080A)
Serial - Microwire: 93 (for ...
The printed circuit board is a type of plastic where electrical and electronic components lie, laminated and fixed. In modern days, there has been increasing in the complexity of electronic components and devices and this has also led to high demand for more complex PCBs that can make this achievable. This exclusive board that has been introduced in the market includes HDI, rigid-flex, Aluminium clad, buried and blind or even a blend of all the listed types.
There is a list of so many PCB types that a designer can choose for any type of electronic project ranging from single layer PCB to other complex types like the multilayered PCBs. In general, the simplest type of PCB contains copper tracks and interconnection between the elements and components on one side of the board. These types of ...
Hello everyone. Today is a great day that we are going to put our focus on another type of PCB. So far in the previous articles, we have looked at high speed, metalcore, high density interconnect and the ceramic types of PCBs. In this article, we are going to introduce another type of PCB that might find great use in your day-to-day interaction with the printed circuit boards. it is very important for a designer to take note of how PCBs have evolved and how they have become an important aspect in the design of successful electronic devices. It has become hardly difficult to come across any time of an electronic device that does not involve the use of printed circuit boards.
In PCB boards you come across LEDs fixed in them, and due to the evolving w ...
