Various types of soccer substitution boards are easily available in the market but these all are very expensive (cost around $200). So, I decided to design a project called DIY Soccer Substitution Board using AT89C51. The feature of the project DIY soccer substitution board is listed below. Low cost and low maintenance. Microcontroller based system thus programmed as per our wish Simple and easily understandable circuit and code. Four individual buttons switch to increase and decrease the score of two teams. Circuit Description of DIY Soccer Substitution Board using AT89C51…

DIY Breathalyzer using Arduino and MQ-3 Sensor Module
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…
Read MoreMicrocontroller AT89C51 based 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:Â An embedded system is an electronic or electromechanical system designed to perform a specific function and is a combination of both hardware…
Read MoreDIY 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…
Read MoreDIY Light Detector Circuit 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…
Read More3000W Inverter with Inbuilt Charger using AT89C2051
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…
Read MoreOpto Reflective Sensor using 555
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,…
Read MoreATmega8 Based Restaurant Menu Ordering System
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…
Read More4-line to 16-line decoder Circuit using 7442
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…
Read MoreSolder Fumes 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…
