Servo motors are widely used in Robots like robot arms and legs. Basically, a servo motor can operate upto 180-degree angle only. It will not rotate full revolution like a DC Motor.A Servo motor can be controlled by degrees like 90 degrees, 180 degrees and 45 degrees. It uses PWM Signals to control the angle of the servo. Hence...
PIR Sensor is a passive infrared sensor which senses IR (Infrared) emitted by humans (all objects emit a certain amount of IR). A hotter object emits more IR than a colder one.The PIR Sensor is also called as Pyroelectric IR Sensor, Passive Infrared Sensor or IR Motion Sensor. The applications of PIR are Burglar Alarm, Motion detected Floor Lamps,...

The Voice Record Module is based on the ISD1820 chip, a multiple‐message record/playback device.It can offer true single‐chip voice recording, non-volatile storage, and playback capability for 8 to 20 seconds. The sample rate is between 8.0 KHz to 3.2 KHz for the duration of 8 to 20 Seconds for the Recorder.This module use is very easy to use, which...
In this tutorial, we will see how to use TCS3200/TCS230 color sensor with Arduino. This color sensor is used in wide range of applications like conveyors, food processing units, paint mixing applications, Vending machines and many more. So let’s see how it works and how to use it with Arduino.At the center of the sensor, you can able to...
DHT11 is one of the most used Temperature and Humidity Sensor. It is cheap, compact and provides a reliable data, it is the best for a DIY electronics project.The DHT11 can measure Temperature between 0 to 50° C with ±2 °C accuracy. It can measure Humidity between 20 to 80% with ±5% accuracy. The sampling rate of DHT11 is...
The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor is a distance measuring sensor which is used in many applications like obstacle avoidance robot, Car parking sensors, Sonar, Autonomous robots and many more. The distance measuring range is from 2cm to 4 meters. It is more precise than IR Sensors. Because its measuring capability does not get affected by light and also it can...
IR Proximity sensor is a simple Infrared Sensor which is used to detect obstacles. This is a multipurpose sensor and used in many robotic applications like Obstacle avoidance robot, Line Follower Robot, and any other obstacle detection projects. This is an Active Infrared sensor, it emits and detects its own IR rays. A passive infrared sensor only detects the...
16×2 LCD is an alphanumeric display that can show up to 32 characters on single screen. You can display more characters by scrolling the texts one by one.It can be used with all Microcontroller boards like 8051, AVR, Arduino, PIC, and ARM Microcontrollers.Most projects require an LCD display to communicate with the user in a better way. Some projects...
The 4x4 matrix keypad has 8 pins to interface with Arduino. Even it reduces the number of GPIO pins to interface with Arduino still we may require more pins for other hardware. In this topic, we will see how to use the keypad with using only one pin of Arduino.Before moving further we need to know about the Voltage...
