Multi-Sensor Data Plotting using Arduino IDE
Monitoring of various process variables such as temperature, pressure, viscosity, humidity, pH and flow-rate is very important in steel plants, petrochemical and other such industries. The human-machine interface (HMI) at the operator station displays a continuous and real-time trending of process variables on a monitor for viewing by the control room personnel. This project describes […]

GPS Clock using Arduino
Global positioning system (GPS) synchronised clocks give accurate time. These clocks are universal and commonly used at railway stations, bus stands and airports. These are widely used for military purposes too. Here we describe a GPS clock based on Arduino Uno R3—an AVR ATmega328-based microcontroller board with six analogue inputs pins and 14 digital input/output […]
