Cell Phone Detector

Cell Phone Detector

Project Summary This is a mobile phone sniffer circuit that can detect the signals being used in the GSM (Global System for Mobile Communication) band at about 900 MHz. Since the signals are digitally encoded, it can detect only the signal activity, not the speech or the message contents. A headphone is used to hear […]

The finished project.

Robotic Candy Sorter

Introduction Many embedded systems leverage a hierarchical structure in their product architecture for a more robust and efficient product. The more complex the product becomes, it is more preferable to segment tasks according to the processing unit’s role to observe optimal tradeoffs in the system. For instance, it would be impractical for a single processing […]

PIC 16f877 microcontroller based RPM Meter

PIC 16f877 microcontroller based RPM Meter

Summary: The speed of the motor is measured in Rotations per Minutes,RPM.The RPM Meter is to read the running speed of Motor like DC MOTOR. Here the speed of the DC Motor is sensed with the help of a speed sensor and it is signal conditioned to have pulses which given as Timer1 clock input […]

PIC Controlled Relay Driver using PIC16F84A

Project Summary This circuit is a relay driver that is based on a PIC16F84A microcontroller. The board includes four relays so this lets us to control four distinct electrical devices. The controlled device may be a heater, a lamp, a computer or a motor. To use this board in the industrial area, the supply part […]

ParkBot The Autonomous Parallel Parking Car

ParkBot: The Autonomous Parallel Parking Car

Abstract Parallel parking is often the most difficult part of ordinary drivers, and one of the most feared tasks for some. Big cities specifically require great amount of parking skills as parking spaces are often limited. Removing the difficulty, stress and uncertainty of this task is very appealing. That is why renowned automobile companies like […]

Design and Development of an Automated Home Control System Using Mobile Phone Schematic

Design and Development of an Automated Home Control System Using Mobile Phone

Abstract This paper presents design and development of an Automated Home Control System (AHCS) using mobile phone. A cell (mobile) phone acts as a modem for the control of electrical home appliances. This is achieved when the mobile phone number is dialed and an appropriate command button is pressed. The paper demonstrates how to develop […]

Microcontroller measures heart rate through fingertip

Microcontroller measures heart rate through fingertip

Step 1: Sensor assembly The sensor unit consists of an infrared light-emitting-diode (IR LED) and a photo diode, placed side by side, and the fingertip is placed over the sensor assembly, as shown below. The IR LED transmits an infrared light into the fingertip, a part of which is reflected back from the blood inside […]
