These projects are good for the beginners to learn basic things. We are showing a basic light meter, you'll try to add a push button to start and another push button to stop. In previous articles we have shown how to create basic sound meter with microphone and Arduino. That circuit was slightly difficult. LDR aka Photoresistors are more easy electronic component. Indeed, you can directly use a … [Read more...]
Arduino and LED Bar Display : Circuit Diagram, Code
LED bar display is actually like multiple LED, it is not like Arduino modules like TM 1637. Here is a guide explaining the basics, circuit diagram, code on Arduino and LED Bar Display. We need no extra library for the LED bar display but we need correct circuit and logically correct code to use this electronic component. Big advantage of LED Bar Display is it is quite cheap, we can use with IC … [Read more...]
List of Electronics Prototyping & Project Materials
After Twelfth grade, in standard countries degrees really matters least for the intelligent and hard working persons in the field of applied science. Several times it has been proved that traditional education mostly good for nothing and humans with no traditional education became the best possible on the niche - Thomas Edison and Steve Jobs are two good examples. And in this era of information … [Read more...]
Arduino UNO Prototype Shield Tutorial
Normally we use breadboard for prototyping and various types of prototyping boards to make an Arduino project permanent. In such case, usually we do not use the Arduino development board but we use the components to build Arduino. However, not all project needs so much effort. For some, making only the non-Arduino part of circuit permanent works fine. In this Arduino UNO prototype shield tutorial … [Read more...]
Arduino Programming Language Tutorial
Sorry to inform you - Arduino Programming Language really does not exit but newbies search for it. Our this guide on Arduino programming language tutorial explains where from that "language" originated. Also why we talk about writing codes in C++, C language. Please understand that .ino file, functions like digitalWrite() hides the real programming language. Most of us possibly need to use … [Read more...]
Arduino Door Bell With Push Button With 3 LED
It is easy project but difference with other projects is several - after pushing the push button the sound automatically stops after a time (which happens with normal door bells), three LEDs used for rhythmic lighting with the music and very less number of components used. Only limitations are sound will not be very loud with buzzer and it is slightly difficult for the beginners to change the … [Read more...]
Arduino Sound Sensor Module Buying Guide
Made in China things are cheap but there are clones of Made in China things too. The situation become worser if the name of the components used is not known. There are different type of Arduino sound sensor modules available in the market with variable price and look. Here is a brief Arduino Sound Sensor Module buying guide. We do have guides with Arduino and microphone like Arduino clap switch or … [Read more...]
Clap Switch Using Arduino Uno And Microphone
Clap switch is popular since our childhood in the days of '90s when basic electronic components were not so easily available and cost was not really towards cheap. Here is how to develop clap switch using Arduino Uno and microphone with circuit diagram, list of components and code. It is a basic project and also our second project with microphone. The previous project with microphone was a sound … [Read more...]
Cheap China Game Consoles : Poor Man’s PSP, XBOX
China is famous (or infamous) to build hardware clones which usually provide 1-2 decade old technology at an affordable price. Like we have said at the end of our article on latest gaming consoles - unless an ordinary person is playing gambling, casino it is not really practical to buy all possible latest original add-on hardware for Sony PSP to enjoy virtual reality. Here is an overview of the … [Read more...]
How To Use DIP Switch On Breadboard
In a previous guide we talked about ordinary switches which we use in electronics and household work. DIP switch is not what we normally see among the consumer grade products but it is cheap and very useful tool. Here is an illustrated guide on how to use DIP switch on breadboard for the newbies with explanation of types of DIP switch & easy examples. Before using anything new, we need to know … [Read more...]
Arduino Sound Meter With LED : Easy But Better
Some wrongly refer these as VU meters. VU Meter is too much but these are entertaining. Volume Unit meter (VU meter) device display representation of the signal level in audio equipment, which has some of standards. We are just building a "sound meter". You need some LEDs, couple of resistors, ceramic capacitor to build this Arduino Sound Meter. Frankly there are more easy guides with almost … [Read more...]
