Many factors contribute to the high demand for egg incubator around the world. A person who is interested in birds would like to raise ornamental birds, but he couldn’t find or obtain a broody bird as such; nonvegetarians eat birds, but they are often forced to eat birds raised through artificial injections; and in many …
So here’s something super interesting and useful, a motor controller board powered by an Attiny13A to control a Brushed DC Motor. This Motor Driver uses PWM to control the gate of an N Channel IRFZ44N mosfet by the Tap of a single button. I’ve added Two Modes in the code that basically controls the …
Abstract The automated drink mixer takes orders from a push-button menu, and moves a regular 16-ounce glass under a series of inverted bottles while dispensing specified amounts of mixers to make perfect non-alcoholic beverages. Introduction            If you’ve ever been to a crowded bar or restaurant and waited a long time just to get served an …
Servo Motors are widely used where precise control is required such as robots, Automated Machineries, robotic arm etc. However, the scope of the servo motor is not limited to this much and can be used in many applications. To know more about the basics, theory and working principle of servo motor follow the link.  We …

Stepper Motors are DC brushless motors which can rotate from 00Â to 3600Â in steps. Stepper motor uses electronic signals to rotate the motor in steps and each signal rotates the shaft in fixed increment (one step). The rotation angel is controlled by applying certain sequence of signals. Unlike Servo Motor, stepper motors can be driven by …

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) is a powerful technique where width of the pulse is changed by keeping the frequency constant. The technique is used in many control systems today. The application of PWM is not limited and it is used in wide range of applications such as motor speed control, measurement, power control and communication etc. …

DC motors are the most widely used motors. These motors can be found almost everywhere from small projects to advanced robotics. We previously interfaced DC Motor with many other microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry pi and used it in many robotic projects. Today we learn to control DC motor with AVR Microcontroller Atmega16. But before going ahead let’s know more about …

One way to extend the functionality of the micro:bit is to use a board called moto:bit by SparkFun Electronics (approximately $15-20). It looks complicated and has many features, but it isn’t hard to run servo motors from it. Moto:bit allows you to run more powerful motors than the tiny micro-motor that you can run from the micro:bit …

So I have yet again over-engineered a task, this time, a freeze-dried coffee dispenser. Why you ask, well the obvious first, it’s super fun and second, it’s the best way to learn new skills. I’m a real noob when it comes to the inner workings of microcontrollers but I really want to know how I …
