If you’re an embedded engineer, you know that having the right tools at your fingertips can make or break your workflow. Whether you’re debugging a tricky hardware issue or writing firmware from scratch, the right equipment not only saves time but ensures the quality of your designs. In this post, Read more…
In renewable energy systems like solar power setups, extracting maximum power from the photovoltaic (PV) panel is crucial for efficiency. This is achieved using a Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT) controller, which dynamically adjusts the operating point of the PV panel to harvest the most power. In this article, we’ll Read more…
Explore the fundamentals of I2C and SPI communication protocols, essential for interfacing sensors, modules, and displays, and facilitating MCU-to-MCU communication. Master these crucial skills for seamless integration and efficient data transfer in embedded systems and electronics projects, so let’s start! If you missed the previous chapter, you can read it Read more…
In the previous chapter, we learned about the Timer interrupt and also learned how to use Timer0 as a timer interrupt. In this chapter, we’ll use Timer0 as a counter which is another feature of Timers in microcontrollers. This will help us count pulses or frequencies. Also, we’ll see an Read more…
In this article, we are going to make a Digital Clock with PIC16F676 and RTC DS1307. Seven Segment Displays will be used as our display. Using this small microcontroller, we can make our Date and Time clock. For this, shift registers will be used to extend the pins and to Read more…
Sometimes making a high amp regulator become very complex using linear regulator ICs. But using a buck converter can be very easy if the circuit work is simplified. Especially for motor-type loads. In this article, we will make a simple motor regulator using buck converter utilizing N-Channel MOSFET and NE555 Read more…
When it comes to mind to use a DC/DC converter the first converter that comes to mind is the BUCK converter. There are lots of designs online as well as dedicated ICs for this purpose. But most of these are high side P-MOS based. In high-side P-MOS-based circuits, the gate Read more…
In the previous article, we have seen how we can make an analog voltage stabilizer. We have seen that the circuit was pretty complex like a bird’s nest. In this article, we are going to learn how we can use a micro-controller for that purpose and make a smart voltage Read more…
A voltage stabilizer is a common protecting device for our home, office, or industries. There are different types of voltage stabilizers in the market in a wide power capacity range. In this article, we will learn how we can design a voltage stabilizer and what is the working principle with Read more…
