In this post we elaborately study how to make an Arduino based PWM signal generator circuit, which can be set or adjusted with a potentiometer or a pot to any preferred duty cycle ratio. WHAT IS PWM? pwm or pulse width modulation as the name itself suggest is modulation of width of the pulses i.e. […]

Using Digital Potentiometer MCP41xx With Arduino
In this project we are going to interface a digital potentiometer with arduino. In this demonstration potentiometer MCP41010 is used but you can use any digital potentiometer of MC41** series. By Ankit Negi INTRODUCTION TO MC41010 Digital potentiometers are just like any analog potentiometer with three terminals with only one difference. Whereas in analog one […]
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 […]
Password Controlled AC Mains ON/OFF Switch
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 […]
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 […]
