Accelerometer Basics

  Introduction: An accelerometer is an electromechanical device which measures acceleration. A measure is normally in G-forces. One G-force is equivalent to 9.8 meters per second squared. Accelerometer is widely used in many devices such as mobiles, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, cars etc. They are mainly used for determining tilt by measuring amount of acceleration due… Read More Accelerometer Basics

PIC16F877A Microcontroller : Basics

MICROCONTROLLER A highly integrated chip that contains all the components comprising a controller. Typically  this  includes  a CPU, RAM,  some  form  of ROM, I/O ports,  and  timers. Unlike a general-purpose computer, which also includes all of these components, a microcontroller is designed for a very specific task — to control a particular system. As a… Read More PIC16F877A Microcontroller : Basics

DIGITAL THERMOMETER USING LM35

Digital thermometer is used for determining room temperature. It is basic project for beginners to understand functions of different pins of PIC16F877A.It is made by using analog-to-digital conversion(ADC) function in PIC16F877A & seven segment display(SSDs) using LM35 as temperature sensor.   Sensors are widely used for temperature measurement but LM35 series is  precision Integrated Circuit… Read More DIGITAL THERMOMETER USING LM35
