In LED projects, the term LED stands for light-emitting diode, which is a semi-conducting luminous source that works on the principle of Electroluminescence. LED was invented by Nick Holonyak in the year 1962. This bulb is constructed with 2 terminals like anode (positive) and cathode (negative) where the LED glows by transmitting power from an external source. They are available in multicolor and can be controlled with a remote. LEDs provide benefits in terms of less power consumption, are … [Read more...]
8051 Microcontroller Projects for Engineering Students
In 1981, Intel Company manufactured the first 8-bit 8051 based microcontroller and it was referred to as MCS-51 (Microcontroller System-51). The components such as ROM, RAM, timer, input/output ports, serial communication, and interrupt logic all are in-built in a controller so that the size of the overall system will be small. When we design a system with the help of a microcontroller, it will be not bulky. So, it can be used in different applications for a specific operation like electronic … [Read more...]
Solar Projects for Engineering Students
Solar projects require a power supply to operate so the power supply can be available from both renewable & nonrenewable sources. Renewable sources are air, water, and sun whereas nonrenewable sources are coal, oil, and fossil fuels. The main disadvantage of using fossil fuels is; they are very dangerous to human life while extracting, takes lots of time to produce, shortage, and have a high maintenance cost. To overcome this disadvantage, natural power resources like solar power systems … [Read more...]
VLSI Projects for Engineering Students
Very Large Scale Integration Technology (VLSI) is an IC technology, designed by integrating a large number of electronic components such as logic gates, transistors, FET’s, etc. This technology mainly focuses on three major design and physical constraints related to an electric circuit like power, area, and speed. Some of the important VLSI Projects are mentioned below. A few of the VLSI platforms that are currently upcoming are FPGA applications, SOCs, and ASIC designs. VLSI Projects for E … [Read more...]
Arduino Projects for Engineering Students
An Arduino is a development board designed with a combination of both hardware and software with open source access. Arduino projects were firstly started at Interaction Design Institute Ivrea (IDII). The board consists of a microcontroller with is pre-programmed and an integrated development environment (IDE). This IDE helps in writing the code and dumping it on the hardware board. These boards are employed in a various electronic appliance that communicates with other technologies such as IoT, … [Read more...]
IoT Projects for Engineering Students
IoT (Internet of Things) is current blooming technology, that comprises a communication network containing physical objects (things) connected using a software-based technology or a sensor-based technology over an internet connection. This technology can connect every object like cars, kitchen appliances, baby monitors using the internet via embedded devices and allow the communication process to occur. This article covers a list of IoT projects, using different technology platform applications … [Read more...]
What is EasyEDA : PCB Designing & Circuit Simulation
Before clearly knowing about the tool EasyEDA, let us first understand why this tool is required and how it saves cost and time in the domain of electrical engineering. People who work in the professions of the embedded engineer, electrical engineer, and electrical tester, have to design circuits, create boards and simulate the boards in an easier and simpler approach. So, EasyEDA is the online tool that crucially helps in the design of circuits. The initial version of this tool was appeared in … [Read more...]
Scrolling LED Display Project Working with Circuit Diagram
We normally use a simple static LED display screen to convey a message. Earlier, when we want to display large data, we used to change message for every few instances. Now scrolling displays are more preferred to static. By using a pre programmed controller, we can make LED display in scrolling way. We can also make LED to adoptable by using PC controller based system. Simple Outdoor LED Message Moving or Scrolling Sign Board, Electronic projects using LED Scroller Generator for outdoor digital … [Read more...]
Traffic Light Control System using Microcontroller
Traffic lights were first invented in the year 1868 at London’s House of Commons where traffic light signals were placed at intersections of George and Bridge Street. Later the traffic lights were developed in the year 1914 by an American Traffic Signal Company, which fixed green and red lights at corners of the 105th street and Euclid Avenue in Cleveland, Ohio. During this period traffic lights were controlled either by timing or by switching manually. … [Read more...]
What is Snell’s Law : Definition & Its Derivation
Initially, Ptolemy a scientist from Alexandria discovered the relation that exists between refraction angles, but his invention failed for a minimal range of angles. In the scope of this Alhazen invented the law of refraction and finally, it was named Snell by the Persian researcher Ibn Sahl. After this many inventors worked upon this law to know the exact principle of this law. Finally, with the enhancement of various electromagnetic and optical concepts, Snell’s law was brought into the modern … [Read more...]
