In this post I will show how to construct a password based mains ON/OFF switch circuit, which can turn ON and OFF the AC mains supply, only when correct password is entered. This prevents the danger of electrocution of the technician who might be currently working with the high voltage lines and equipment. Password Protection […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Over Current Cut-off Power Supply Using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct a battery eliminator / DC variable power supply which will automatically cut-off the supply, if the current flow through the load exceeds the preset threshold level. Main Technical Features The proposed over current cut-off power supply circuit using Arduino has 16 X 2 LCD display, which is […]
Introduction to EEPROM in Arduino
In this post I have explained what EEPROM is, how data is stored on built in EEPROM on Arduino board’s Microcontroller and also practically test how to write and read data on EEPROM by a couple of examples. Why EEPROM? Before we ask what EEPROM is? It is very important to know why EEPROM […]
Introduction to RGB Colour sensor TCS3200
TCS3200 is a color light-to-frequency converter chip which can be programmed through a microcontroller. The module can be used for detecting all the 7 colors of white light with the aid of an integrated microcontroller such as Arduino. In this post we are going to take a look at RGB color sensor TCS3200, we will […]
Simple Digital Water Flow Meter Circuit using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct a digital water flow meter using Arduino and 16 x 2 LCD display. We will be taking a look at YF-S201 water flow sensor, its construction and working and how to interface with Arduino to extract some useful readings. The proposed project can measure the rate […]
Buck Converter Circuit Using Arduino
In this project we are going to step down 12 V DC to any DC value between 2 and 11 V. The circuit which steps down the DC voltage is known as buck converter. The output voltage or step down voltage needed is controlled using a potentiometer connected to Arduino. By Ankit Negi INTRODUCTION TO […]
