Monitoring State of a Switch (Digital Read Serial) – Arduino Basics
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 […]
How to Use TTP223 Capacitive Touch Switch Module [Pinouts Explained]
In this article I have explained how to connect and use the TTP223 capacitive touch switch module. These modules work using 2.5V to 5V. They are all pre-debounced, all you need is to provide the DC supply across the VC and GND terminals, and you get an output in the middle. So it is really […]
How to Switch Two Batteries Manually using Opto Coupler
The following article explaining a dual battery changeover relay circuit was requested by Mr.Raja so that it could become possible to switch between his old and new inverter batteries automatically, eliminating manual interventions. Let’s read it in details. Technical Specifications “I bought a new 12v 110 Ah lead acid battery for the dc home lighting system. I had another 12v […]
Ultrasonic Smart Automatic ON/OFF Switch Circuit
In this article we are going to build a smart automatic ON/OFF switch using Arduino, which can turn on or off gadgets automatically by sensing the presence of human nearby through the concept of ultrasonic. We are going to use ultrasonic module and Arduino to sense the presence of human which activates the gadgets such […]
How Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) Circuits Work
SMPS is the acronym of the word Switch Mode Power Supply. The name clearly suggests that the concept has something or entirely to do with pulses or switching of the employed devices. I have explained how SMPS adapters work for converting mains voltage to a lower DC voltage. Advantage of SMPS Topology In SMPS adapters […]
