Arduino and RFID Based Attendance System

arduino and rfid based attendance system circuit

The project Arduino and RFID Based Attendance System is simple and is used at any place where attendance is taken for maintaining the register. Previously we had posted a project using RFID and microcontroller AT89C52 called RFID Based Security System using Microcontroller AT89C52 used for the open door. Similarly, Arduino and RFID-based Door Access System RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) uses an electromagnetic field to detect unique tags assigned to object in the vicinity. An RFID tag is more secure and conventional because RFID traces tags hidden inside objects, unlike bar…

DIY Distance Measurement using GPS and ATmega328P

distance measurement using GPS and ATmega328

Whenever we thought about distance measurement, an image of a circuit designed using an ultrasonic sensor is formed in our minds. But today we are going to present here a distance measurement project using the GPS (Global Positioning Measurement) module. The project named DIY Distance Measurement uses GPS and ATmega328 which measure the distance between two positions using the haversine formula. The start point is the position where switch SW1 (Reading Switch) is pressed and the endpoint is the position when switch SW2 is pressed (Switch Switch). Thus, the circuit…

DIY Breathalyzer using Arduino and MQ-3 Sensor Module

author prototype of breathalyzer using arduino

Few day ago, I got an email from one of reader of bestengineeringprojects.com asking about how does the traffic police know the concentration of alcohol present in our breadth. For that purpose, I had designed a project called DIY Breathalyzer using various easily available electronics components. Before starting about description of project I would like to describe what breathalyzer is. The breathalyzer or breathalyzer is an electronic device which is used to estimate the concentration of alcohol available in breath sample. This device is usually carried by traffic police, medical…

Microcontroller AT89C51 based Metro Train Prototype

circuit diagram of metro train prototype

The project posted here is of Microcontroller AT89C51 based Metro Train Prototype which shows how metro train works. The project uses two motors, one is used for opening and closing the door and other is used for moving the train forward. This prototype of metro train is a good example of embedded system. Before talking about circuit description and working let clear the concept of embedded system. Embedded System: An embedded system is an electronic or electromechanical system designed to perform a specific function and is a combination of both hardware…

DIY Digital Compass using ATmega8

circuit diagram of digital compass using atmega8

The DIY project Digital compass posted here utilizes an OLED display to show the direction (i.e. north). Another feature of this project is, it shows real data and time. DIY Digital Compass using ATmega8 A conventional compass utilizes a needle or a dial kept inside a compass rose. The conventional compass work on the principle of the earth’s magnetic field. But the projects DIY Digital Compass using ATmega8 posted here use the sun position to show the direction, unlike the magnetic field. Thus, this DIY Digital Compass is not affected…

DIY Light Detector Circuit using LED

circuit diagram of light detector using LED

Today we come with a unique idea i.e. Photodiode using LED. This project utilized an LED to detect and respond to the presence and absence of light. Before starting the description and working of circuit DIY Light Detector Circuit using LED, we would like to describe a few electronics components. LED: Light-emitting diode is a photoelectric device that converts electrical energy into light energy. It is a heavily doped P-N junction diode that under forwarding bias emits spontaneous radiation. Photodiode: Photodiode is an optoelectronic device in which current carriers are…

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,…
