The project uses an Arduino pro mini boardwhose ADC feature is used along with the concept of RC charging circuit to develop this Capacitance meter. 

Op amp as a Voltage follower Voltage follower is a negative feedback op-amp amplifier circuit. It acts like emitter follower configuration of transistor based amplifiers. They provide unity gain to the applied input signals. Unity gain means the output voltage will be exactly equal in magnitude with the input voltage.      Fig. 1: Circuit…

Astable multivibrator using op amp Astable multivibrator is an electronic device which can continuously shift between its two states with respect to the output. If the output corresponding to one particular state is high, then the output corresponding to the other state is low. This nature of the circuit is useful in producing continuous output…

Features of inverting and non-inverting pins The dependency of the output with the inverting and non-inverting pin can be simply explained as below,   If the inverting pin is high compared to other pin, the output is negative   If the non-inverting pin is high compared to other pin, the output is positive   This…

An amplifier is a circuit which can produce an output voltage, which is the product of input voltage with a value called voltage gain. An op-amp (operational amplifier) is a kind of amplifier circuit which can perform an operation (addition, subtraction etc.) on the input voltages, apart from simply amplifying the input.   An op-amp…

Most people think that Linux is an OS, but it is actually not. Linux itself doesn’t form an OS. Linux is nothing but a Kernel.  Kernel is a large code of millions of lines, which forms the core of any operating system. It can be considered as a resource manager of an operating system. User applications can communicate with the hardware only through the kernel. It is the kernel which keeps the OS up and running. Linux kernel based operating systems are called Linux OS, like redhat, Linux mint, Ubuntu, centos etc.  

Yes, you’ve read it right. The idea of collecting water from atmospheric moisture is pretty age old, but no one seemed to have implemented it in a practical way until Eole Water Company have successfully tested their prototype in a desert in abu-dhabi. They successfully collected around 1000 litters of water per day from their machine, a kind of wind turbine. The idea was developed by Marc Parent, the founder of Eole Water.

1.1)            System   A system is a set of different elements, which are interconnected inside a boundary, and may have abilities of input processing and output.     Fig. 1: Image Illustrating System by Comparison to Solar System An example of system: Solar System itself is a good example of a system. Here the elements are…

The project uses an Arduino pro mini boardwhose ADC feature is used along with the concept of Ohm’s law to develop thishfe meter. 

Kernel is nothing but the core of any operating system. It is the kernel that makes an OS entirely different from others. A kernel is actually a large block of code which keeps the system up and running from the time of booting, till shutdown. Kernel is that part of an OS which directly communicates with the hardware of the machine in which it runs and also with external hardware devices.The kernel can be viewed as resource managing code of an OS. It is responsible for managing and allocating resources like memory, processors etc. It also allows OS to communicate and control various external hardware devices like pendrive, memory card, keyboard etc. 

  1)Introduction A programmer can control code flow in a C code using several techniques. Before start coding one should have an idea about the code flow for that particular code. Code flow is purely the logic required for the program. The programmer converts the logic into C code, and he may use the code…

Electric motors are the most convenient ­­devices in use which can convert the electrical energy into mechanical energy. Electrical motors converts the electrical energy to rotational motion which can then be easily converted to any kind of mechanical motion like moving a robotic arm, moving a needle in a sewing machine etc. The Permanent Magnet Direct Current (PMDC) motors are especially useful since they are very easy to control, produce a lot of power and come in various sizes, shapes and voltage ratings.When used with electrical or electronic circuits one must be careful about certain things like the current consuming, torque, RPM etc. This article mainly discusses those things and also the details of circuits which can be used to drive the PMDC motors. 

Metal detector is a device used to detect the presence of a metal in its proximity without touching it. This project explains the concept of detecting the presence of a metal using the method of inductive sensing. The basic concept used is that the presence of a metal can vary the inductance value of an inductor. The prototype discussed here is a modified version of an inductance meter, which has the ability of sensing the change in inductance and triggers an output. 

The Arduino board is used to develop this simple prototype of inductance meter. The arduino board has all the required circuitry to get the built-in AVR microcontroller running. The AVR microcontroller boards which are provided with all the basic circuitry for the operation of the microcontroller which has been flashed with the Arduino boot-loader are called Arduino boards. The Arduino IDE is so simple to use that anyone who has basic knowledge of c programming can quickly get started with it. 

 This document discuss about the development and working of a prototype of an AMR (Automatic Meter Reading) using Arduino board. The AMR is now a general term for all kind of meters that can read the data, store the reading and transmit the reading wirelessly on request to another device.There are already water-meters available which allow the interfacing of reed-switch. This project uses a reed-switch along with a rotating magnet to demonstrate the working of AMR.
