Interfacing and Controlling LEDs using Arduino UNO

Image
  Project: 2 - Aug'20 What is the project about? The term Arduino was always trending on my campus. Workshops were conducted on it regularly. But I stayed away from them all because of a general disregard I had for workshops. They just weren't my cup of tea (quick flashback of the only workshop I ever attended). But well, I got tired of 'tea' last month. That is when I stumbled upon a course on Internet of Things by Prof Ian Harris on Coursera. Refrigerators which would order and stack up on my favourite food, and optical lenses that would save my friend from the embarrassment of forgetting names. But how could these be done? Using Arduino of course. Understanding the Working What is an Arduino? In the most simple terms, an Arduino is a tool that helps in performing simple and complex electronic tasks. It can measure real-world parameters by controlling connected equipment and perform tasks depending on the result obtained. An Arduino is an open-source electronics circu...

Electronic Piano using 555 Timer IC

Image
Project: 1 -Feb '19 What is the project about? This is a simple project which required only a few basic electronic components. This was my first project as an engineering student and hence is quite special to me. It is a DIY electronic Piano which can produce as many numbers of notes as the number of pushbuttons and connected circuitry added. Mine had 8 notes, one corresponding to each fundamental note of music. The pitch could be adjusted by varying the resistance of the potentiometer used. My friends and I had a lot of fun later playing and composing music with it.
