Automation is the essence of today’s world. Automation can make our life easy and secure. There are many ways to obtain automation. Automation can be achieved by Wi-Fi, IR, GSM, Bluetooth and many other technologies. Previously we have covered many types of Home automations using different technologies like: DTMF Based Home Automation GSM Based Home Automation using

Today we are here with an interesting project in which we will Send Data to the SparkFun server using Arduino and GPRS. This is an IoT based project in which we will use GPRS, present on the GSM Module SIM900A board, to send some data to the web service on the internet. In this project, we

Attendance systems are commonly used systems to mark the presence in offices and schools. From manually marking the attendance in attendance registers to using high-tech applications and biometric systems, these systems have improved significantly. In our previous projects, we have covered few other electronic attendance system projects using RFID and AVR microcontroller, 8051 and raspberry Pi. In this

Story The Nokia 5110 is a basic graphic LCD screen for lots of applications. It was originally intended to be used as a cell phone screen. This one is mounted on an easy to solder PCB. It uses the PCD8544 controller, which is the same used in the Nokia 3310 LCD. The PCD8544 is a

This is an incredibly quick post, and it is actually here simply because this thing was a pain to figure out how to hook it up. But, I wasn’t able to do anything with it more than the Arduino library was able to do out of the box. So, if you have this screen sold
Quickly: KS0108B Graphic LCD 128×64 + Arduino Continue Reading
Most notable for its inclusion in the Kindel and other E-Readers, E-Paper has recently become very popular. But until very recently been out of reach to being used in personal projects. Luckily for us, SparkFun started selling and E-Paper display, and breakout board finally bringing this great technology to a place where we can slap
A Slow Display… E-Paper + Arduino Continue Reading
A Liquid Crystal Display commonly abbreviated as LCD is basically a display unit built using Liquid Crystal technology. When we build real life/real world electronics based projects, we need a medium/device to display output values and messages. The most basic form of electronic display available is 7 Segment display – which has its own limitations.
Get acquainted with using I2C with the Quark D2000 development board by interfacing an ambient light sensor and an LCD. Previously, we presented a general overview of the Quark D2000 development board. Subsequently, we explored the use of the board’s GPIO and PWM. In this project, we will explore using I2C with the D2000 board

As a simple first Arduino experiment I interfaced a two line LCD (a Displaytech 162B) and an LM35DZ to make a simple Min/Max thermometer. Step 1 – Interfacing the Temperature Sensor This is really very simple. The LM35DZ has three pins, +5V, ground and a variable voltage output to indicate the temperature. I plugged it
