3000W Inverter with Inbuilt Charger using AT89C2051

3000W inverter's microcontroler section

The project posted here is a 3000W inverter with the facility like an inbuilt charger, over and under voltage control, temperature control, microcontroller-based, etc. We all know that an inverter is a device that changes DC power into AC power (just opposite of a rectifier). The general-purpose inverter (low or medium power inverter) used in our house converts 12V DC voltage to 220V AC. But the circuit posted here converts 24V DC (two 12V batteries connected in series) to 220V AC. Circuit Description of Microcontroller Based 3000W Inverter with inbuilt…

Opto Reflective Sensor using 555

opto reflective sensor circuit using 555 ic

The DIY project posted here is of Opto Reflective Sensor using 555 IC and TCRT5000 module. These sensors are photoelectric sensors, which signifies that they rely on photo or light and do not need to be in contact with any other objects to sense. When a beam of light between the reflector and light sensor is interfered, that is when the sensor sends electrical signals. These electrical alerts are the information to the output unit. These days opto reflective sensor is used in various projects like proximity sensing, position detector,…

ATmega8 Based Restaurant Menu Ordering System

restaurant menu ordering system transmitter circuit

We often visit to restaurant for food and drink, there we see a waiter came and ask for order. The most annoying part is waiter wait while we are choosing items for menu. At the time of pick hour customer increase, requires more manpower and as a result the situation becomes annoying and expensive too. In order to solve these problem, here we had design a simple automation system called restaurant menu ordering system based on 8-bit microcontroller ATmega8. Different concept of digital menu ordering system has flourished along with…

4-line to 16-line decoder Circuit using 7442

4 to 16 line decoder circuit

Decoders are essentially an arrangement of logic elements that are combined to change from are digital code to another. The term ‘decoder’ is most frequently used but depending on the point of view, the term ‘encoder’ is equally correct. Figure 1 shows the circuit diagram of a 4-bit, 4-line to 16-line decoder using two 7422 4-line to 10-line decoder IC . The input A, B, C and D can represent any logic function and the output 1 through 16 will then provide the addition or the logic or function of…

Solder Fumes Extractor Circuit

solder fume extractor circuit

Solder Fumes Extractor Circuit: Soldering in electronics is analogous to fixing a component using glue. It is a general phenomenon in the field of electronics that involves fixing electronic components into a special board called PCB with the help of instruments like soldering iron and electrical solder commonly called ‘Solder wire’. While soldering we all face the problem of toxic fumes. These fumes are of lead solder wire and flux. Combinedly, these fumes are highly toxic if an excess amount is inhaled. To solve this problem, here we designed a…
