Arduino Based Auto Transport Device

AUTO TRANSPORT DEVICE is idea of making a self-driving device that is low cost and can carry high load to its destination. This device is based on Arduino mega 2560. It can do many things like it can deliver parasol, file notice door to door, infact this device is made in such a way that we can use it as dustbin after attaching attachment to it.
  
 AUTO TRANSPORT DEVICE stands at its fixed point and it start its journey when system passes it command and after finishing its work it come back to its starting point and its battery start charging itself. In this device there are many issues that we face main issue is controlling its turn angle that we solved by using MPU6050, and second problem was motor speed with help of which we can measure distance that we solve by using ldr laser system.

Operational Amplifiers


Why Are Operational Amplifiers Widely Used?
        This lesson is the first lesson on operational amplifiers, or op-amps as they are often called.
        Operational amplifiers are widely used in signal processing circuits, control circuits, and instrumentation.  Of all analog integrated circuits, the operational amplifier is the analog integrated circuit which has the most sales and is the most widely used in the widest variety of electronic circuits.  If you are an electrical engineer, you will probably encounter more operational amplifiers than any other integrated circuit device.  It's an important component for electrical engineers who design circuits using them and to all other kinds of engineers who use measurement and control circuits that contain operational amplifiers.

Where do you find Op-Amps?         Operational amplifiers are used in many places including:

Cheap and Easy Solar Heater





































Converting electricity into heat is one of the most expensive uses of energy. If you’re not convinced, look at the power usage of electric appliances like microwaves, space heaters, water heaters, ovens, or coffee pots. The difference can be seen between your electric bill from a cold month, when you have to continually run your central heating, and during summer months, when the ambient temperature does not need to be heated.
If you live off-grid, you tend to be far more aware of what it takes to create electricity; you can literally watch your batteries’ voltage drop lower and lower when using an inefficient appliance. However, if you are tied into the grid, you should almost be extra vigilant as regards your power usage. Not only do you have to pay for it each month, but also the power plants that produce your electricity are rarely sustainable or environmentally conscious.
When considering the issue of heat, there are several green options, the best of which is the sun. Solar thermal energy can be harnessed in many ways to heat your water, food, or home. For the purpose of this article, we will be concentrating on an active thermal space heater to heat a room or

Beer Can Solar Space Heater

I saw a smaller version of this instructable a while back: here. At the time I was volunteering with a local animal rescue center. We had just installed a new 20' x 40' wooden barn as an indoor recreational area for the animals, but as the shelter was off grid there was difficulty heating such a large space. I decided to upscale the idea and see if it would work for us.
For this instructable you will need:

Zero degree Celsius alarm

Description.
This simple circuit will produce an alarm whenever the temperature falls below zero degree. A thermistor is used here to sense temperature. The op-amp LM7215 is used to compare the reference voltage and voltage from the thermistor network. Reference voltage is given to the non inverting input (pin3) of the IC and voltage from thermistor network is given to the inverting input (pin4).When temperature becomes less than zero degree the voltage at the non inverting input becomes larger than the voltage at the inverting input and the output of the op-amp becomes high. This makes the transistor Q1 ON and drives the piezo buzzer to make the alarm. In the power supply section, IC 7805 is used to derive 5V from the 9V battery.

555 Timer as Monostable Multivibrator

Are you familiar with the basics and applications of the 555 timer IC? Are you looking for a book that provides all these basics? If so, CircuitsToday has started an online store from where you can buy books on 555 timer IC, which have been reviewed in detail. You can go through the reviews and buy them here:- 3 Great Books to Learn 555 Timer Circuits and Projects
A monostable multivibrator (MMV) often called a one-shot multivibrator, is a pulse generator circuit in which the duration of the pulse is determined by the R-C network,connected externally to the 555 timer. In such a vibrator, one state of output is stable while the other is quasi-stable (unstable). For auto-triggering of output from quasi-stable state to stable state energy is stored by an externally connected capaci­tor C to a reference level. The time taken in storage determines the pulse width. The transition of output from stable state to quasi-stable state is accom­plished by external triggering. The schematic of a 555 timer in monostable mode of operation is shown in figure.

555 Timer-Ramp Generator

Ramp Generator Circuit-using 555 Timer IC

Image titled Make a Small Heater Step 1We know that if a capacitor is charged from a voltage source through a resistor, an exponential waveform is produced while charging of a capaci­tor from a constant current source produces a ramp. This is the idea behind the circuit. The circuit of a ramp generator using timer 555 is shown in figure. Here the resistor of previ­ous circuits is replaced by a PNP transistor that produces a constant charging current.
Ramp Generator Circuit
Ramp Generator Circuit
Charging current produced by PNP constant current source is
iC = Vcc-VE / RE
where VE = R2 / (R1 + R2) * VCC + VBE
When a trigger starts the monostable multivibrator timer 555 as shown in figure, the PNP current source forces a constant charging into the capacitor C. The voltage across the capacitor is, therefore, a ramp as illustrated in the figure. The slope of the ramp is given as
Slope, s = I/C
