Interested to learn about robotics, electronics and PCB fabrication and basics of engineering and have a practical hands on experience on every electronics component and embedded systems and doing creative real time working model projects or have a short term summer coaching? Here is a chance to learn how electronics stuff works, how robots are designed and whats inside them. Also one can learn how to design a pcb. Intrested ones can contact me on my mobile 8143753269 or my mail id [email protected]

DO IT YOURSELF(DIY): REAL TIME CLOCK

Real time clock is a digital clock which display real time on 16x2 LCD display. Here in this circuit we can also set alarm and time. The DS1307 serial real-time clock (RTC) is a low-power, full binary-coded decimal (BCD) clock/calendar plus 56 bytes of NV SRAM. Address and data are transferred serially through an I²C, bidirectional bus. The ck/calendar provides seconds, minutes, hours, day, date, month, and year information. The end of the month date is automatically adjusted for months with fewer than 31 days, including corrections for leap year. The clock operates in either the 24-hour or 12-hour format with AM/PM indicator. The DS1307 has a built-in power-sense circuit that detects power failures and automatically switches to the backup supply. Timekeeping operation continues while the part operates from the backup supply.

Link for code and circuit diagram is as follows :

Get to know how the most basic component of electronics, "Transistor" works by watching this video
In the next interaction, we will know how "electronics is fun" by building a simple led blinking circuit using a timer IC. Don't go away. Stay tuned..!

ACCELEROMETER WORKING.pdf 21/04/2015

The gesture control Robot uses an accelerometer for the monitoring of the tilt that is provided by the user
For detailed working of the accelerometer, refer the below link

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzKYCzakqmanQnN0TWxwOE9qQnc/view?usp=sharing

The output of the accelerometer are a few analog values of the x,y.z directions in which the sensor is tilted. These values are provided to the micro controller as an input. In this project we have used an Arduino uno powered by Atmega 328P mimcro controller.
We have programmed the micro controller in such a way that, for every change in the x, y, z values, the Robot moves in the corresponding manner. So finally we can experience the movement of the robot according to the tilt we provided to the accelerometer as shown in the video previously.

Software that are useful for programming Microcontroller and circuit designing

1.Keil u vision for writing programmes for 8051 micro controllers

2.Flash magic for dumping programmes in 8051 MC
(note:8051 is the name of the family of microcontrollers it has a huge variation of mc in it like P89V51RD2, AT89C51, AT89S51 )

3.Arduino software used to write programmes in arduino for mc like
atmega8
atmega168
atmega328
atmega644
atmega1280
atmega1284
atmega2560 etc
all boards of arduino have an inbuilt programmer inside them so we can use the same software to the the programme in an mc

4.circuit wizard-for designing circuits , pcb designing as well
as their circuit layouts

5.virtual bread board-In this there is a computerised bread board and components you can place these components on the bread board and run them to see their outputs

these are the some of the software's that can be used by anyone as they are very simple programme
a tutorial on each of these software along with their respective links will be given later on on the same page..
Stay tuned..!

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
