PCB (printed circuit boards) are really very important to minimize the circuit design area and overall cost. PCB manufacturer quality and capabilities depend on the material and minimum featured sized of tracks width. Some of the manufacturers provide up to 6 layers of PCB. I designed and integrated the Arduino NANO with NRF24L01 trans receiver…
I made many projects regarding Audio amplifiers and preamplifiers but this tutorial is for the visual music experience. I am going to make a music reactive neopixel based LED strip. The LEDs will glow according to the change in beat and the color is changed automatically. This type of multi color RGB pattern gives a…
A new version of Arduino UNO PRO is out now, I changed the orientation of components and a specific improved design. Now has more compatibility options with micro-USB port for power delivery and programming. This Arduino UNO pro version has all the similar features to the previous one, you can see version 1 from here….
Previously, I made some tutorials regarding current measurements using shunt resistor. Basically, shunt is small known resistance which is in series with the load. And by measuring the voltage drop across the resistor we can find the value of current flowing in the circuit. All credit goes to Ohm’s law: V=IR, by knowing the two…
It is very easy to calculate the hexadecimal equivalent to a decimal number using dividing by 167 method. But this method is very long and sometimes very confusing when comes to large numbers. here I have a Arduino based decimal to hexadecimal converter. But let’s know more about hexadecimal number system and why it was…
There are various sensor monitoring methods are available some of them using IoT and others using offline protocols like Bluetooth and BLE. But the offline method doesn’t offer a good range and online methods are expensive and very compilated. Today, we are going to make a simple sensor monitoring system using LoRa (long range radio)….
I am aware of sensors, modules and integrated circuit used with microcontrollers like Arduino. And I think Arduino UNO is still the first choice of most hobbyists even after 10 years. Because of its open-source environment and futuristic Software. Developers released some easy to program software’s for it. Arduino Uno is the first MCU of…
I need a big RGB stripe for my gaming room, so that I can stick that on my setup. But I need one with better durability and brighter LEDs with Good heat dissipation. The WS2812 RGB neo pixels may do the fine job but these strips come with flex PCB. Which I would not recommend…
There are many methods to measure the DC current. Hall effect sensors and dedicated hall effect current measuring ICs are available to measure Current precisely. But in this tutorial, we are going to cover very basic method to measure current using shunt resistance in the circuit. We will also make our own current sensor and…
NTC and PTC are known as thermistors, which can be further known as temperature-controlled resistance. Now something is related to resistance but how it works and which type of circuits can be designed using these components. Let’s know the working concept and then we will use them practically. The value of these thermistors is not…
