Nokia 3315 / 3310 LCD interfacing with Microcontroller
Displaying content on a normal alphanumeric display is very limited ,we have to be limited with the font size and we can’t draw any graphics also. but convention Graphics lcd are really very expensive so here is the solution, you can use Nokia 3315 / 3310 monochrome LCD to display your large font text and graphics . the reason behind using […]
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 […]
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
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 […]
PC Based Digital Voltmeter Using PIC 16F877A
This is a simple voltmeter which measures 0-5V at a precision of 4.8 mV. This is a simple design using inbuilt ADC of PIC 16F877A. PIC 16F877A have 8 channel 10bit ADC. This is a computer interfaced project. Measured voltage is output in serial interface software in computer. There is a serial interface circuit (MAX232) […]
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
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 […]
