Abstract: The objective of my project is to create an automated watering system for succulent plants. In this project, an Arduino microcontroller is employed to periodically send a signal to activate a relay, which, in turn, powers a pump responsible for watering the plant. The volume of water dispensed can be adjusted by controlling the […]

Introduction Measurement and control systems play a crucial role in the field of biosystems engineering. In the digital era, these systems are pervasive and essential, serving the dual purpose of gathering data (measurement) and automating processes (control). As an example, consider weather stations that measure variables like temperature, precipitation, wind speed, and other environmental factors.

I. Summary The core concept behind the project and its circuitry involves incrementally rotating a stepper motor by a specific step angle. To accomplish this, the project will employ an ULN2003 IC in conjunction with the L293D Motor Driver. This combination is necessary because the controller lacks the capacity to supply the current demanded by

Our senior project aims to design and develop assembly language for a small robot arm assembly controller, utilizing an enhanced 8051 microcontroller (80535). In addition to the controller’s software, we will design and construct the microcontroller interface circuitry. Our investigation will focus on incorporating safety features, such as motor current limit protection and motor disable

Prototyping Prototyping involves the creation of an initial model of a product to conduct testing. Whether the product is intended for consumers, government entities, or businesses, it typically starts as a prototype, which may not include all the components or functionalities present in the final market-ready version. Prototypes act as proof of concept, demonstrating that
