MICROCONTROLLER Microprocessors and microcontrollers are widely used in embedded systems products. Microcontroller is a programmable device. A microcontroller has a CPU in addition to a fixed amount of RAM, ROM, I/O ports and a timer embedded all on a single chip. The fixed amount of on-chip ROM, RAM and number of I/O ports in…
Interfacing Ultrasonic sensor with Arduino UNO HC-SR04 As show in the figure HC-SR04 is an ultrasonic sensor. It is an 4pin module consists of Vcc, Trig, Echo and GND. Module had a transmitter and receiver which transmits and receive the ultrasonic wave signal. Pins Explanation: VCC – +5v dc TRIG – To activate sensor we…
Program STM32F4 with UART STM32F3 devices have a great feature. They can be programmed with the only USB to UART converter. Each device has a bootloader inside, which supports UART programming. This is not a very great method for Discovery boards, because they have a better and faster solution onboard, ST-link. But if you are…
Overview The project is a simple application built using the Qt framework for facilitating serial communication between a computer and external devices, such as microcontrollers, sensors, or other hardware components. The application provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for users to interact with the serial port, send commands, receive data, and log communication activities. Software…
Introduction: IR sensor module will have 3pins VCC, GND and D0 respectively. VCC – +5V DC GND – Ground D0 – Digital Out Requirements: Arduino UNO – 1 IR Module – 1 Jumper Wires This module consists of two leds (looks like led but not an led), one is IR Transmitter (i.e., white one) and…
In this tutorial, we are going to discuss RTC Interfacing with PIC24. Before that, we should know about the RTC (PCF8563) operations. Let’s start. Components Required: 1 pic24 2 pcf8563 3 serial terminal Features and benefits Provides year, month, day, weekday, hours, minutes, and seconds based on a 32.768 kHz quartz crystal Century flag…
Overview In TMS320 PWM Tutorial, you are going to learn about what PWM is and how you can get the PWM output from the Analog pins of tms320. First, we will generate a PWM signal and then we will control it manually by adding the potentiometer. What is PWM This project involves a combination of…
Introduction The ADC module is a successive approximation (SAR) style ADC with a selectable resolution of either 16 bits or 12 bits. The ADC is composed of a core and a wrapper. The core is composed of the analogue circuits which include the channel select MUX, the sample-and-hold (S/H) circuit, the successive approximation circuits, voltage…
Overview In this tutorial, we will look at Arduino interrupts. Interrupts are useful in many cases where a process simply wants to continue its main function, and other devices (timers or external events) come to its attention if necessary. Specifications: ATMEGA2560 Microcontroller Operating Voltage: 5V Input Voltage (recommended): 7-12V Input Voltage (limits): 6-20V Digital I/O Pins: 54 (of…
