Introduction: An autonomous robot car is a vehicle that can navigate and perform tasks without the need for human intervention. A 2WD autonomous robot car is a type of robot car that is powered by two wheels, as opposed to four or more. These types of robots are commonly used for educational purposes, research and
Electronics Message Display, Electronics Bill Board or Dot-Matrix Display are all name for the same thing – an electronics system that displays (normally in a scrolling) message or information. Electronics message displays are seen everywhere – from supermarkets, patrol station or restaurants. In this tutorial, I will teach you how to build your own message
Welcome! Today we are going to build an Infrared Remote Control Switch using ATTiny85 Microcontroller. If you can recall, we have built an infrared switch before using CD4017 integrated circuit. If you built the previous Infrared remote control switch using CD4017 you will notice a very common disadvantage with the circuit. With the previous infra-red
Recently I have been thinking much about home automation and one of the things that came to me was to replace my mechanical switches with a smarter one. In this project I will be explaining to us an easy but effective way of designing a smart touch switch using TTP223 capacitive touch module. The smart
Still on the home automation series, in this DIY project, am going to teach you how to build a Bluetooth based appliance control system using Arduino. With the appliance control system, you can control (turn ON or OFF) up to four different home or office appliances using your Android phones. Required Components Arduino UNO x1
There is no doubt that home automation have become the norm. Apart from using electronic gadgets, like smart mobile phones, people now want to live in smart homes where systems operate automatically by themselves based on certain conditions of the environment. One of such smart systems is a motion activated AC switch using Arduino and
When you start tinkering with micro-controllers, one of the most important tools you will have in your toolbox is a chip programmer. There are a lot of programmers for different types of micro-controllers. So the type of programmer you have depends on the type of micro-controller you want to program. For example, 8051, PIC, AVR
This circuit, police strobe light effect using Arduino is something I just come up with, out of boredom. I mean, actually I saw a similar effect in a group and when I asked the poster for the schematic it happens that his original circuit is using 547/557 ICs. So due to the lock-down because of
Transformerless AC – Dc power supply is a type of power supply circuits that doesn’t require a transformer to step down the normally high household AC line. There are generally two types of transformerless power supply circuits. Capacitive and Resistive tranformersless power supply. Capacitive type is more efficient since its heat dissipation and power loss
Welcome! Today we are going to build an Infrared Remote Control Switch using CD4017 IC. As if you don’t know what an infrared remote control is, this is a switch that will be controlled with an infrared transmitter. Infrared remote controls (transmitters) are very common today that almost every home appliance comes with one. So
