A modern op.amp (operational amplifier) houses the entire circuit on a small chip of silicon and so any change of temperature will occur equally throughout the circuit, hence reducing the problem. Like all integrated circuits (i.c.s) the size and cost are much reduced and reliability … [Read more...]
The ZigBee alliance is a group of companies who together have defined the ZigBee wireless based home automation standard compatible with IEEE-Standard 802.15.4. The short range communication (range 10 to 50 m) uses very little energy and the highly integrated electronic modules are simple to use … [Read more...]
Microcontrollers are extensively used making mini projects and other real time projects,In this article i will illustrate what are the tools required for developing projects based on PIC microcontroller.We can classify as two types of tools required Hardware tools Software tools In this … [Read more...]
To be able to use l.e.d.s in lighting applications from back lighting to area lighting it is necessary to be able to generate white or near-white light. Until recently this has not been possible. Now there are a number of ways in which this can be done. One method is to use an l.e.d. fabricated from … [Read more...]
A sensor is a device that measures a physical quantity and converts it into a signal which can be read by an observer or by an instrument.Sensors are of little use on their own – we need circuits to process the signals we get from them, amplifying and filtering, and converting to digital form for … [Read more...]
The author covers all the basics of just what a robot is and how to build 5 different ones including a rare gantry type. The real strengths of this book other than its clarity is the programming of the PICs-his micrcontroller of choice. Excellent, excellent, excellent. He shows you how and … [Read more...]

Batteries are required in most fully self-contained mobile robots because the only automatons connected by power cord to an electrical socket are found in cartoons. That doesn’t mean other power sources, including AC or even solar, can’t be used in some of your robot designs. On the contrary, … [Read more...]
