A dc servo motor provides precise motion control, enabling accurate positioning and speed regulation in various applications. It consists of a rotary or linear actuator, which allows for such precise control of angular or linear position, velocity, and acceleration. It’s used in several sectors, including: Robotics Industrial automation Angular load positioning Avionics Automobiles A few…

In this project, we’ll design a wireless joystick dc motor controller using ATtiny85 and Arduino. It will offer a long range, operating up to 1 km. (You can learn how to control the joystick’s motor speed and direction using Arduino in this article.) Wireless joystick controls for dc motors are used in many industrial, domestic,…

In this project, we’ll design an omnidirectional, moving pick-and-place robot. First, let’s cover how the robot is built. The robot’s build As shown in Figure 1, the robot consists of two sections: An omnidirectional moving platform A robotic arm The omnidirectional platform The robot is built using one circular wooden plate, three dc gear motors,…

Contactless body temperature measurement using MLX90614 sensor In the previous two articles of this tutorial series, I demonstrated how to display analog sensor data (like POT, LM35, soil moisture sensor, etc.) or smart digital sensor (DHT11) data on TFT LCD. In this third article, I will explain how to display body temperature on TFT LCD. It…

Displaying potentiometer value and temperature using LM35 In my previous tutorial series on displaying sensor data (value) on OLED display, I have explained how to display values of different sensors like a potentiometer, LM35, soil moisture sensor, DHT, HC SR04, etc. on a tiny 1” OLED display. This time, I will demonstrate and explain how…

Most appliances require 5Vs for operation. In this experiment, we’ll design a DC-to-DC buck converter that provides 5Vs of the regulated output. We’ll use an Adjustable AP65111AWU-7 switch-mode IC for the DC voltage conversion and analyze its performance.  Specification of the IC: A step-down 12V DC to 0.8V to 6V DC An output current of…

In the previous VHDL tutorial 4, we designed and simulated all seven logic gates (AND, OR, NOT, NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR) in VHDL. (If you are not following this VHDL tutorial series one by one, please go through all previous tutorials of these series before going ahead in this tutorial) In this tutorial, We…

In previous tutorial VHDL tutorial 5, we built NAND, NOR, XOR, and XNOR gates using AND-OR-NOT gates in VHDL. (If you are not following this VHDL tutorial series one by one, please go through all previous tutorials of these series before going ahead in this tutorial) In this tutorial, We shall write a VHDL program…

In previous tutorials VHDL tutorial (#6), we built a circuit for D Morgan’s Theorems in VHDL and verified its output to prove D Morgan’s theorems. (If you are not following this VHDL tutorial series one by one, you are requested to go through all previous tutorials of these series before going ahead in this tutorial)…

Note: it’s recommended to follow this VHDL tutorial series in order, starting with the first tutorial. In the previous tutorial, VHDL Tutorial – 7, we learned how to build different gates (such as AND, OR, NOR, NOT, etc.) by using the NAND gate in VHDL — proving that the NAND gate is universal. In this…

Note: it’s recommended to follow this VHDL tutorial series in order, starting with the first tutorial. In previous tutorials VHDL tutorial – 8, we learned how to build different gates (such as AND, OR, NOR, NOT, etc.) by only using the NOR gate in VHDL. We were able to successfully prove that he NOR gate is…

Note: it’s recommended to follow this VHDL tutorial series in order, starting with the first tutorial. In the previous tutorial VHDL Tutorial – 9, we learned how to build digital circuits from given Boolean equations.  In this tutorial, we will: Write a VHDL program to build half and full-adder circuits.   Verify the output waveform of the…

In this project, we’ll design an automatic, energy-efficient streetlight system using Arduino. A streetlight will automatically turn on when the outside ambient light falls below a certain threshold, as evening turns to night. They turn off when sufficient light returns in the morning to conserve energy. So, these streetlights only power on when needed.   The…

Electronics is ubiquitous in the modern era. Learning electronics is a never-ending fun ride. Not just a career, it can also be an exciting hobby to take up. Most of the electronics enthusiasts, however, do not know how to get started. They usually have a random beginning that takes a lot of time and effort…

In this project, we’ll design a 16-bit IO port (input-output port) library for Arduino. It’s possible to send direct 16-bit data to any Arduino board using this library. It connects any of Arduino’s 16 pins, so they work as a 16-bit IO port.  First, you must select 16 pins from Arduino to combine as the…

In this project, we’ll create an 8-bit IO port Arduino library that reads and writes all eight bits in a single command by combining Arduino’s pins. This means sending and receiving the 8-bit data from a single pin will be possible. Arduino provides digital output using the digitalWrite() function and receives digital input via the…

This article explains how to build a voice-based Home Automation to control Home Appliances. Google Assistant is used to input voice commands or text commands. The main intention of this project is to introduce various IoT tools and integrate them to build a real-time project. As home automation is a friendly project, it is chosen…

In this mini do-it-yourself (DIY) electronic project, we’ll design a multi-use level indicator that can measure multiple physical parameters like temperature, water, voltage, humidity, distance, and more. It consists of a bar-graph LED display that presents the measurements. Four main types of sensors are used to measure the different physical parameters, including the following LM35…

In this mini do-it-yourself (DIY) project, we’ll design an LED table lamp that’s battery-operated and rechargeable. It will also feature light dimming so you can adjust the lamp.
