How to select power supply for the project 2022

Power Supply Selection for Project: Powering up your projects (Robotics, IoT, Mechatronics, Automation, etc.) means providing its parts (micro-controller, sensors, actuators, etc.) with right supply. These parts require different supplies of different current capabilities. In this article you will know about different powering method and their characteristics. How to select power supply for the project? What is a supply? When you build any project like robots, mechatronics, automation, IoT projects you will need to consider how you will supply it with power. In fact, some parts, such as micro-controllers and sensors, typically require either 5 or 3.3V. They also need a stable (regulated) voltage supply. Other parts may need 12V such as motors. This require several different supplies with different current capabilities. In this post, different ways of supplying power to your project are presented and discussed. Battery Your main power source is always a DC battery. Ba...

Obstacle Avoiding Robot Kit

Obstacle Avoiding Robot: If you landed on this page, you must be a robotics enthusiast. You must be thinking to learn the robotics. Obstacle Avoiding Robot is one of the most liked beginner level robot. It will teach you a lot of concept about electronics, coding, micro controller and robotics. In this article, I will help you to choose the component for making a obstacle avoiding robot. So, Lets get started. Obstacle Avoiding Robot - Kit and Components Obstacle avoiding robot is a programed movable object (car, four wheel drive, 3 wheel drive) which is intelligent enough to avoid obstacles coming in its path and change its path to reach at the target. I am providing here the list of parts or components so that you can assemble and make the simple object detection and avoiding mechanism of the robot. Obstacle avoiding robot is made up of following type of components: Mechanical Parts/Hardware Electronics Components/Hardware Software/Arduino Code So, Lets discuss each p...

Controlling LEDs over WiFi using NodeMCU and Blynk App.

This article is the base on the Internet of things ( IoT ) . IoT describes the network of physical objects—“things” or objects—that are embedded with sensors, software, and other technologies for the purpose of connecting and exchanging data with other devices and systems over the Internet. In this article 3 LEDs will be controlled by an android application (made using Blynk) over a wifi connection. How to use NodeMCU with Blynk If you want to start learn the Internet of Things (IoT) concept, then controlling a LED over the internet is the " Hello World!" of the IoT journey. Performing the " Hello World" task will be easy using NodeMCU micro-controller as the first client and Blynk as the 'broker' or server and Blynk android application as the second client. Now communication between two clients will happen through broker over the internet. Now lets, make this happen. Components Required For this activity we will need following components: Nod...

Materials used in Additive Manufacturing

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is one of the advanced manufacturing method. Additive manufacturing method includes a number of technologies. Various types of additive manufacturing or 3D printing has been discussed previously, if you want to read it, pleas click here . In this article we will study about the materials used in additive manufacturing or 3D Printing. Primary materials used in additive manufacturing are: Polymers Metals Ceramics Material used in Additive Manufacturing. Nowadays, composite is also being used in 3D printing. The composite is a material, which is made up of two different materials. The composite used in 3D printing may be of: Composite of Metal and Polymer Composite of Polymer and Ceramics Composite of Metal and Ceramics Polymers Polymer is most popular in 3D printing, because it is cheap and technology which used polymer as feed material for 3D printing, are also easily available and simple in design.
