Hello everyone, welcome back to Techatronic. Today, we’re diving into a highly practical project – the Bidirectional Counter. Our goal with this project is to tally individuals passing through the sensor. Bidirectional counters have become increasingly prevalent, especially aiding us during the pandemic. They find specific utility in seminar halls and conference rooms, accurately recording

Introduction Hello everyone, welcome back to Techatronic. Within this article, we’ll be creating an Arduino LED project using a rotary encoder and a 16×2 LCD module. To ensure ease of understanding, we’ve included circuit diagrams and detailed connection descriptions for each setup. The rotary encoder comprises 5 pins, two for power and three for data.

In Disney’s 1991 film Beauty and the Beast, an enchantress curses the young (10 or 11-year-old) prince to beast-hood for spurning her based solely on her appearance. She gives him a special rose that she says will bloom until his 21st birthday, at which time he’ll be turned back into a prince, provided that he

Spare a moment’s pity for the process engineer, whose job it is to keep industrial automation running no matter what. These poor souls seem to be forever on call, fielding panicked requests to come to the factory floor whenever the line goes down. Day or night, weekends, vacations, whatever — when it breaks, the process

We all know, at least intellectually, that our computers are all built with lots of tiny transistors. But beyond that it’s a little hard to describe. They’re printed on a silicon wafer somehow, and since any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic, they miraculously create a large part of modern society. Even most computers

Arduino My goal for this assignment is to create a Morse code decoder, which can prove highly beneficial for socially distant interactions with friends. The decoder will offer two input options for Morse code: (1) manual clicking of a button to illuminate the LED light, and (2) detecting flashes from an external source, such as

HW9 – Arduino The Task: In our Arduino project challenge, we were free to create anything of our liking, with the only requirement being that the circuit must either read a sensor or control an active component. During a class session, a practice example was demonstrated, involving a humidity sensor, LED, potentiometer, and LCD screen.

“We’re not like other semiconductor companies,” says Bob Dobkin, co-founder and CTO of Linear Technology, “for the most part we have a unique set of products because we combine circuit design, silicon design and testing.” Dobkin is an analogue legend having designed the industry’s first three-terminal adjustable voltage regulator, the first bipolar low-dropout regulator and

NXP has just released its new PMPB40SNA, a 60 V, 40 mΩ N-channel automotive MOSFET in a compact 2 x 2 mm DFN2020MD-6 (SOT1220) package. The DFN2020MD-6 is an industry first, featuring 100% wettable and therefore solderable flanks (side pads). This makes soldering and inspection much easier and is aligned with the automotive optical solder inspection requirements! It is the
