Over-voltage protection circuits are used to protect voltage-sensitive loads. Voltage transients may occur due to a number of reasons such as transformer switching, load...
Here we describe a microcontroller-based propeller display that displays any message sent to it via hyper-terminal of a personal computer. Moreover, a temperature sensing...
Stop clock is widely used in various fields to measure the timing of events. Science laboratory experiments, such as measurement of discharge rate of...
Electronic systems today incorporate a number of peripheral ICs that have to communicate with each other and the outside world. To maximise hardware efficiency...
Semiconductor relays provide the same function as electromechanical relays but have no moving parts, which increases their long-term reliability. These relays provide an array...
The AVR 8535 microcontroller and its new version ATmega8535 are versatile, high-performance but low-cost chips. This article series covers typical applications of this processor...
Many embedded systems these days need +5V power supply with some special functions such as power-fail detection, zero-crossing signals for mains power supply and...
Nowadays, LED message displays are becoming very popular for transmitting information to large groups of people quickly. These can be used indoors or outdoors,...
AM radios are still used for capturing transmissions from long distances (DX reception). But AM radios normally require long (10-30m) outdoor antennae. That is...
This AVR microcontroller-based global positioning system (GPS) receiver can be used to find the exact location of a place and know its standard time....
The regular 16×2 LCD can display characters of only certain dimensions. A graphical LCD (GLCD), on the other hand, can display custom graphics. GLCDs...
