This Arduino basics discusses the method of implementing a code through which the ON or OFF state of an external push-button could be read or monitored within the Arduino. Digital Read Serial Here I have explained through an example how to monitor the state of a switch by performing serial communication across your Arduino and your PC via USB. In excess to your […]

PIC Tutorial- From Registers to Interrupts
Before getting into the minute details of PIC programming, it would be first important to learn a few good programming methods. Understanding Registers To begin with suppose you type a ;(semicolon) at any point of the program, all’s that come after this semicolon would get ignored by the compiler, until of course the carriage get’s […]
ATmega32, Pinouts Explained
The Atmel AVR Atmega32 is a low power CMOS based microcontroller chip manufactured on the AVR advanced RISC architecture. It is featured for carrying out technologically powerful instructions within each of its clock cycles. The chip is also equipped with the capability of achieving throughputs rated at 1MIPS per MHz enabling the system manager to enforce […]
Arduino Mains Failure Battery Backup Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple mains failure backup circuit for providing Arduino boards an uninterruptible supply during such situations. The idea was requested by Mr. Fredrik. Technical Specifications This blog gave me a lot of interesting information. Especially the power supply circuit with battery backup part. The reason for this is that […]
How to Make Arduino on Breadboard – Step by Step Instructions
In this article I have explained how to make an Arduino on a breadboard. We are also going to see what is an Arduino, how to program it and how to assemble them as standalone microcontroller on a breadboard or PCB. Arduino was a boon for those who wanted to learn microcontrollers and embedded system […]
Raspberry Pi Explained
In this article I have explained about Raspberry Pi single board computer, their specifications, how to use them in a project, we are also going to do a small comparison between Arduino and Raspberry Pi, so that we can choose which of them are best for your projects. What is Raspberry Pi? Raspberry Pi is […]
