This simple GSM security switch project is based on Arduino Nano microcontroller (MCU) and SIM800L GSM modem (Fig. 1).
The cellular-based alert system is configured to send an SMS in response to a security switch action. When the security sensor...
This project presents a K-type thermocouple-based temperature measurement system using MSP430G2553 microcontroller (MCU). The MCU reads sensor data and updates it on a four-digit, seven-segment display, and also sends it to a smartphone through Bluetooth module. The author’s prototype...
This project is based on Arduino Uno and Processing software for monitoring temperature and sending voice alerts. Processing is an open source IDE that can be used to visualise data and implement other functionalities.
Circuit and working
The circuit is built...
Here is a simple audio amplifier circuit based on TDA2050 IC. This amplifier can deliver an output power of around 15W for an 8-ohm load, 18W speaker with 18V DC power supply.
Circuit and working
The circuit diagram of the TDA2050-based...
Smart presentation pointers are readily available in the market but are expensive. Here is a simple, easy-to-build, inexpensive and infrared (IR)-based smart slide pointer using Arduino Leonardo.
Slide presentations using PowerPoint can be frustrating because you may need to click...
The circuit presented here can measure voltage (V), current (A) and wattage (W) on an OLED. It is actually voltmeter, ammeter and wattmeter circuits combined in one unit. It is a useful tool for testing circuits, desktop power supplies,...
Here is a simple solid-state relay (SSR) driver circuit using a transistor. An SSR is similar in operation to a traditional electromagnetic relay with movable/physical contacts. It employs an optical semiconductor, called photocoupler, to isolate input and output signals;...
This project presents an Android app to generate an alert (alarm) on a smartphone when temperature of the process under consideration exceeds user-defined maximum temperature.
Alarm and annunciator instrumentation systems are widely used in the control room of process plants....
A simple explanation for the working of an ideal diode circuit based on P-channel MOSFET and PNP transistor is presented here. The typical voltage required to turn on a diode is forward voltage. An ideal diode should have zero...
Infrared (IR) remote-controlled RGB bulbs available in the market are extremely expensive. Here is a simple, easy-to-build and inexpensive circuit built using Arduino Uno R3. The project demonstrates how to turn on/off or vary the colours of an RGB...
