What is an Arduino?

Introduction

Arduino is an open-source platform used for building electronics projects. Arduino consists of both a physical programmable circuit board (often referred to as a microcontroller) and a piece of software, or IDE (Integrated Development Environment) that runs on your computer, used to write and upload computer code to the physical board.

The Arduino platform has become quite popular with people just starting out with electronics, and for good reason. Unlike most previous programmable circuit boards, the Arduino does not need a separate piece of hardware (called a programmer) in order to load new code onto the board – you can simply use a USB cable. Additionally, the Arduino IDE uses a simplified version of C++, making it easier to learn to program. Finally, Arduino provides a standard form factor that breaks out the functions of the micro-controller into a more accessible package.

The Uno is one of the more popular boards in the Arduino family and a great choice for beginners.

Full Wave Bridge Rectifier With Capacitor Filter

Full Wave Bridge Rectifier With Capacitor Filter The voltage obtained across the load resistor of the full-wave bridge rectifier described above has a large amount of ripple. A capacitor filter may be added to smooth-en the ripple in the output, as shown below. Figure 21: Full wave Bridge rectifier with capacitor filter The rectifier circuits discussed above can be used to charge batteries and to convert AC voltages into constant DC voltages. Full-wave and bridge rectifier are more commonly used than half-wave rectifier.

Home Security System

Home Security System by: Debraj Nath B.Tech (Electrical and Electronics engineering) Introduction Home security system is a combination of following alarm systems a. Fire Alarm b. Rain Alarm c. Foot Step Intruder Alarm d. Water Level Indicator Alarm e. Light Alarm The main concept to include all the different types of alarm is to secure the entire home from all types of calamities may be natural or man-made. The circuit could also be helpful to save the intruders like thief attack. a. The fire alarm is fitted in such place in home where there may be chance of getting fire such as kitchen, near electrical distribution system of house, gas system of house etc. b. The rain alarm is fitted on the roof of the house so that when a water...
