Control DIGITAL COMPASS DESCRIPTION

Basic Description
The digital compass gives measurements based on Earth's magnetic field for robot navigation. Inside this commonly available MEMS are tiny nano-structures that bend due to electromagnetic fields. When this MEMS experiences any form of EM field, the tiny structures bend by an amount which can be electrically detected. Cheaper digital compasses usually have a resolution of around +/- 5 degrees, but newer and better ones can detect with a better accuracy.

Tips and Uses
• Keep digital compasses far away from anything that emits EM, such as motors, transformers, inductors, etc.
• Large conductive items significantly altar magnetic fields (cars, fridges, steel plates, etc.)
• Use this device to help for navigation, such as robot race tracks or navigating a maze
• because the Earth's magnetic lines of flux "dip" in declination, the compass must remain level for the readings to be accurate. Some electronic compasses employ a 2-axis gimbal in an attempt to keep the compass level, but these are problematic in the rough off-road environments

Control Audio Power Amplifier using LM386

The LM386 is a versatile, small power amplifier designed for use in low voltage consumer applications. The gain is internally set to 20 to keep external part count low, but with the addition of an external resistor and capacitor between pins 1-8 the gain can be set to any value from 20 to 200.
The inputs are ground referenced and the output automatically biases to one-half the supply voltage. The quiescent power drain is only 24 milliwatts when operating from a 6 Volt supply, making the LM386 ideal for battery operation.
To make the LM 386 a more versatile amplifier, 2 pins (pin 1 and 8) are provided for gain control. With pins 1 and 8 open the internal 1.35k resistor sets the gain at 20 (26 dB). If a capacitor is placed between pin 1-8, bypassing the built-in 1.35k resistor, the gain will go up to 200.
If a resistor is placed in series with the capacitor, the gain can be set to any value from 20 to 200. Gain control can also be done by capacitively coupling a resistor or FET transistor from pin 1 to the ground.

Control Servo Light Dimmer

What, the of a dimmer,you may ask ?Well, then a concise answer would be that it:

• Reduces power consumption(and bills)
• Increases life of lamps by switching them
• Allows the same lamp to serve as a ten-watt night lamp or a two hundred watt control illumination lamp.

And this is exactly what this dimmer does.One plus point is that it has a power handling capacity exceeding 1600 watts, far exceeding the ordinary 300 watt types.
Any type of 400 PIV, 8 ampere triac may be used in the circuit VR1 provides illumination control.R2,R3 and C1 set the minimum brightness level which can however be altered.

The LED and R1 are optional,They serve the purpose of pilot monitoring.The triac must be heavily heatsinked to prevent any damage.

LM358- Low Power Dual Operational Amplifiers

BASIC CONCEPT:

This line follower is based on the concept of light detection by a photo diode. When the photodiode is introduced with black surface, the light produced by LED is absorbed by the surface and there is no conduction in photo diode, which sets the comparator output to a positive voltage. Due to this positive voltage the transistor gets triggered by this voltage and N2907 transistor comes in on state being a NPN transistor and hence the motor turns ON.
The same mechanism rotates the another motor by the working of another photo diode.Now for the turn or to maintain its path, as soon as any photodiode gets influenced by the light reflected by the white surface the respective motor stops and the another motor automatically turns the line follower to its right path. And again the both motor starts there functioning and the line follower travels in a straight path.
Similarly, when N is replaced by 2N2222, the photodiode turns on in white light. Hence comparator produces negative output, which further triggers the transistor. This turns the motor ON. Rest of the mechanism of turning is same as above.

circuit

General Description
The LM358 series consists of two independent, high gain, internally frequency compensated operational amplifiers which were designed specifically to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split power supplies is also possible and the low power supply current drain is independent of the magnitude of the power supply voltage. Application areas include transducer amplifiers, dc gain blocks and all the conventional op amp circuits which now can be more easily implemented in single power supply systems. For example, the LM358 series can be directly operated off of the standard a5V power supply voltage which is used in digital systems and will easily provide the required interface electronics without requiring the additional g15V power supplies.
Unique Characteristics

• In the linear mode the input common-mode voltage range includes ground and the output voltage can also swing to ground, even though operated from only a single power supply voltage.
• The unity gain cross frequency is temperature compensated.
• The input bias current is also temperature compensated.

Advantages

• Two internally compensated op amps in a single package
• Eliminates need for dual supplies
• Allows directly sensing near GND and VOUT also goes to GND
• Compatible with all forms of logic
• Power drain suitable for battery operation

Features

• Internally frequency compensated for unity gain
• Large dc voltage gain 100 dB
• Wide bandwidth (unity gain) 1 MHz (temperature compensated)
• Wide power supply range: Single supply 3V to 32V or dual supplies g1.5V to g16V
• Very low supply current drain (500 mA) essentially independent of supply voltage
• Low input offset voltage 2 mV
• Input common-mode voltage range includes ground
• Differential input voltage range equal to the power supply voltage
• Large output voltage swing 0V to Vab 1.5V.

N2907 Transistor:

The 2N2907 also known as the PN2907 is a small PNP BJT Transistor used for general purpose low power amplifying or switching applications. It is designed for low to medium current, low power; medium voltage and can operate at moderately high speed.
It is a 1amp, 50v, 300mW transistor capable of operating up to 100 MHz it is used in variety of analog application and switching application.

Control AT89C2051 A Serial to Parallel Converter

The converter runs at 9600 baud, 89C2051 and outputs each byte received on a centronics style parallel port, together with a nominal 50 microsecond strobe. The converter buffers up the bytes received if busy is active, and is bidirectional – when the sample switch is pushed, the converter samples the parallel port and transmits the value back out the serial port. All the parameters are adjustable in the code. This is the figure for the connection circuit;

The example program should be assembled with the shareware assembler TASM. This assember is actually a very good assembler for 8051, (and other 8 bit micros) with 32 bit arithmetic, and a linux version available. TASM is produced by Squak valley software. The serial-to-parallel example program was intended to run on an AT89C2051 using the prototype board that was originally supplied as part of the evaluation kit in our programmer. But the circuit is pretty darn simple, and a competent electronics person could build one up themselves, by hand, if they need to. The code should run on any 8051 target with modification to the port locations – the equates for the pin & port locations are near the start of the code.

Note the pin functions are not shown on the circuit, as the circuit was intended to be a general purpose evaluation board, not just a serial to parallel converter.

Figure Programmer Circuit Of AVR Atmel Microcontroller

That said, the diagram of a timer circuit controlled by PC comes down to very little. Indeed, it is mainly the PC side software to generate the proper timing on the line SCK, MISO and MOSI and, of course, a minimum of circuitry for adjusting the level so you can use a standard PC ports.

The scheme of my program boils down to what you can find below. It is intended to be connected to the PC parallel port lines which are easy to fly by the program to generate the necessary timing.

It comprises all in all an integrated circuit IC1, which is a simple 74HC244 or 74HCT244, that is still a buffer for six times to reformat the signals transmitted on the PC printer output before applying the circuit to program in April. It is safe and to have a rectangular shape and signals to avoid any hazard of programming.

This circuit is wired to "amplify" signals SCK, MOSI and RESET the one hand, since these are the PC to the microcontroller, and the only signal MISO, in another sense, since it will the microcontroller to the PC.

Note that a section of IC1 LED driver from the PC which allows to report, by the ignition, the microcontroller is being programmed and it must not touch it! Power to the programmer is supplied directly to the application supporting the microcontroller via the diode D1.

Circuit diagram for CCTV powered by Solar Panel with Battery Backup


D1 is a Schottky Diode used to prevent battery charge escaping through the solar panel at night. Something like a 1N5817 (1 Amp 20 Volt diode) will do the job and it has a very low voltage drop of under 0.45 Volts. D2 and D3 are ultrabright LEDs used to illuminate the inside of the nestbox. R3 and R4 are resistors chosen (400+ Ohms) to ensure that no more than 30mA of current gets to the sensitive LEDs, with R5 (a 10k variable resistor) used to increase the resistance and therefore dim the LED s if they are too bright.The LM317T is a voltage regulator * used to bring the voltage of the solar panel and batteries down to just over 8 volts using resistors R1 (270 Ohm) and R2 (1500 Ohm) to set this value. K is the wireless CCTV camera. A switch (not labelled) is used to manually turn the camera on and off as required.

Control FM Wireless HI-FI Schematic

To relieve you of any concern related to high frequency, I used a module ready, in case a module Aurel audio FM transmitter. This tiny circuit board with 2 cm by 4 cm supports a transmitter modulation frequency track, delivering an RF power of 10 mW which is quite sufficient for the desired use. As it is driven by a resonator surface wave, its frequency stability is excellent.

As you can see the review of the scheme, the module can stand alone even for some HF itself since it lacks power and a network of pre-emphasis R7, R8, C6, designed to improve quality transmission of higher frequencies.

Schematic of the transmitter

The input level required by the circuit to achieve a sufficient modulation rate of 100 mV rms, a preamplifier is necessary for our microphone. It is the role of IC1, mounted on a very classic inverting amplifier with adjustable gain through P1.

The provided microphone is a model electric with its supply circuit formed by R1, R2 and C1, but you might as well use a conventional dynamic mic, or an external electric microphone with its integrated power supply in which case R1, R2 and C1 disappear.

2. Receiver

As to the transmitter, I used a module Aurel, which is an FM audio receiver. It also appears as a tiny circuit board containing all the components of the receiver, equipped with a squelch circuit or quiet as I put to good use.

As illustrated, the audio output takes place on the leg 10 of the module and should be désaccentuée through capacitor C4 to offset the effect of pre-emphasis circuit used in the show. The AF level issued by the module may be insufficient for some high fidelity amplifiers or mixers certain: it is only 100 mV in the best cases I amplifies a bit through rose IC1 very classic.

Schematic of receiver

In order not to saturate the amplifier or mixer that follows, the adjustable potentiometer P1 can measure the level applied to it.

This preamplifier is fed continuously as the module Aurel but instead receives its power through the leg 18 of the latter. This output is in fact controlled by the internal circuit noise and is connected to power when the circuit noise estimates have detected a valid issue. The operating threshold of the muffler is adjustable and is obviously the role of the potentiometer P2 is the only external control of the receiver.

The food in turn must be regulated to 5 volts, which is made by IC2 which can receive input from 9 to 15 volts from such amplifier associated with a block or sector-style outlet . The low power consumption of the arrangement (of the order of 30 mA) makes this power supply.

Schematic GSM modem interfacing with microcontroller 8051 for SMS control of industrial equipments

GSM modem interfacing with microcontroller 8051 for SMS control of industrial equipments:-
This is a beginner tutorial in which a GSM modem is being interfaced with the microcontroller AT89s51 for SMS communication. The SMS can be send and recieved for the data sharing and situation information and control. there are many application of the project based on microcontroller 8051 and GSM interfacing. We can use it as a remote control of industrial machines or we can sue it for home automation or we can use it for the security of home or offices.

The sending SMS through GSM modem when interfaced with microcontroller or PC is much simpler as compared with sending SMS through Modem in PDU Mode.Text message may be sent through the modem by interfacing only three signals of the serial interface of modem with microcontroller i.e.,TxD,RxD and GND.In this scheme RTS and CTS signals of serial port interface of GSM Modem are connected with each other.The transmit signal of serial port of microcontroller is connected with transmit signal (TxD) of the serial interface of GSM Modem while receive signal of microcontroller serial port is connected with receive signal (RxD) of serial interface of GSM Modem.The COMPIM Serial Port Model shown in the schematic diagram developed in Proteus VSM is equivalent to the serial interafce of GSM Modem.Sending SMS Messages from a Computer / PC Using AT Commands (AT+CMGS, AT+CMSS)

The following are the AT Commands and sequence of events performed for sending text message to a mobile phone through GSM Modem interfaced with microcontroller :


1. First select the text mode for SMS by sending the following AT Command to GSM Modem : AT+CMGF = 1 . This command configures the GSM modem in text mode.

2. Send the following AT Command for sending SMS message in text mode along with mobile number to the GSM Modem : AT+CMGS =+923005281046 . This command sends the mobile number of the recipient mobile to the GSM modem.

3. Send the text message string ("hello!") to the GSM Modem This is a test message from UART"
4. Send ASCII code for CTRL+Z i.e., 0x1A to GSM Modem to transmit the message to mobile phone.After message string has been sent to the modem, send CTRL+Z to the micro-controller,which is equivalent to 0x1A (ASCII value) Every AT command is followed by i.e. carriage return and line feed
you are giving line feed first and carriage return after that.
"\r" stands for carriage return

Interfacing 8051 with gsm modem equipped with RS232 serial interface is the same as interfacing AVR with GSM modem is.
The SMS message in text mode can contain only 140 characters at the most.It depends upon the amount of information collected from GPS Engine that you need at the base station for tracking vehicle or person

The most important string of GPS is "$GPRMC..." which contains the minimum information required in tracking a target additionally you may need the information regarding the number of satellites that are visible to the GPS receiver.So it depends upon how much information you need to pack in 140 characters of SMS in text mode.

Control Versatile Intercom System

Most intercoms use up to five wires for hooking up to other units,while the one presented here needs just two.There are several features that make this design unique.

• Two wire line systems.
• Single chip design
• Touch to call facility
• Hands free conversation which allows conferencing
• Compact design

The unit uses a type 1895 amplifier IC which forms the heart of  the unit.The amplifier takes the input from a biased microphone M1.The output is given to the line.Point A and E are connected to communication line.The basic design is conventional.When the touch plate is touched,a buzzing sound is sent to other unit to give the call signal.This is due to the ambient mains hum pickup and its harmonics.

The 8 ohm speakers is used if two units are used.For four,each speaker must be a 16 ohm type.The microphone is the usual tape recorder type.A suitable power supply is given in schematic b.

Schematic a :This intercom needs just two outgoing wires 

while most others would need at least five.

Control Solid State Tube Light Choke

The advantages of tube light over filament bulbs are well known.But these tube lights have problems too.They refuse to work at lower voltages,they are costly,burn out easily and so on.So,presented here is a unique solid state electronic design.

The circuit is shown in schematic a it uses two capacitors and four diodes and work along with a 100 watt bulb.The tube lights operated with this choke were found to work at voltage as low as 120 volts(in the 220 volt lines).The circuit provides a pulsating voltages to the fluorescent tube light fixed on a conventional stand.

Control Toggling Touch Switch

With just one single IC and that also not a digital one ,as one would expect,this switch would from probably one of the austeriest ever made.

The circuit described here allows any electric or electronic devices to be remotely switched on and off just by touching the touch plates.This not only ensures higher safety,but also lends elegance and gives them a longer life.The circuit uses the internal flip-flop of the 555 timer.The two touch plates are used to switch on/off the relay,which controls the relay .Though a 9 volt relay has been recommended,voltages after replacing the relay can be varied from 6 to 12 volts.

The load that the circuit can support depends upon the rating of the relay contacts.The circuit can work on a simple unregulated power supply.The only care that needs to be taken is that the circuit must not be connected to touch plates using wires longer than three meters . The wires used for these connections must be shield in order to prevent false triggering.
