In this post I will comprehensively explain regarding the fundamental working principles of semiconductor devices, and how the internal structure of semiconductors function under the influence of electricity. The resistivity value between these semiconductor materials neither has a complete conductor characteristic nor a complete insulator, it is in between these two limits. This feature may […]

One thing is great about microcontroller ICs, these are available almost in all parts of the globe and electronic retailers. Introduction Fundamentally microcontroller devices are popularly used in applications involving assessments of the surrounding environment and in similar electronics. You could find these devices being used for displaying a certain parameter, in motor control applications, […]
Fading an LED ON/OFF – Arduino Basics
In this post I have explained a basic Arduino function where I have explained the process of fading an LED ON/OFF through some basic code implementations. Creating a Fading Effect We see how to use an analogwrite() function in order to implement a fading ON/OFF of an LED. The function incorporates PWM pulses across a […]
Blinking an LED with Delay – Arduino Basics
Here I have explained the bare minimum code for compiling an Arduino and also the method of blinking an LED using an Arduino board. Learning the Bare Basics Here we discus and try to understand the fundamental minimum code that one would need to compile an “Arduino Sketch” which consists the setup()method and the loop()method. […]
How to Protect MOSFETs – Basics Explained
In this post I will comprehensively explain how to protect mosfets and prevent mosfet burning in electronic circuits by following some basic guidelines related to correct PCB layout, and careful manual handling of these sensitive devices. Introduction Even after connecting everything correctly you find the mosfets in your circuit becoming HOT and blowing off within […]
Basics of Strain Gauge Measurements
The strain gauge is one of the most useful tools for precisely measuring expansion or contraction of a material as forces are applied. Strain gauges are also useful for measuring applied forces indirectly if they are aligned approximately linearly with the deformation of the material. What are Strain Gauges Strain gauges are sensors whose electrical […]
