The schematic for the transmitter in this project has 4 main parts, the Arduino UNO, the sharp IR distance sensor, the XBee Wireless Modules and the 16x2 LCD. You can see how these parts are connected together to build the system we want in the schematic below: The arduino has on-board power regulators so we don`t have to do anything special b

esides plug in a standard DC power jack, which will be regulated to +5v and +3. 3v. The IR Proximity Sensor has a 3 pin connector that is super simple, Vsupply, Gnd, Vout. Vsupply is connected to +5v power and Gnd to Ground. Vout will be connecting to pin AN0 of the Arduino, this is an analog-to-digital converter pin. This module will be used for transmitting the command from the Arduino UNO to the PIC receiver system. XBee modules run off of +3. 3v so its important not to use a +5v system here! This is a standard 16x2 LCD display that runs off of the hitachi hd44780 command set. It will be used to display output to us so that we know the wireless communication is working and so that we can know what motor speed we`re currently at. The schematic for receiver part of this project has 4 main parts, the 18F4520 microcontroller, the XBee Maxstream, the power transistor and the LED bar. You can see how these parts are connected together to build the system we want in the schematic below: To make things simple, we`ll use a LM317 variable regulator to supply the power for this entire project. We will configure it to output +3. 3v with a resistor + trimpot configuration. This is the second XBee module that will be used to passing the received command to the PIC 18LF4520 for processing. Again, we`re using a +3. 3v PIC because the XBee modules cannot operate at +5v power! The TIP42 power transistor allows the motor to be turned off...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
