4 Channel Led Chaser

                 This LED chaser display is build around readily available, low cost components.This circuit is easy for build for a beginner in the electronics. The power supply for the chaser circuit is from a 9v battery.The circuit diagram of the chaser is below.



                                                       Click the circuit for enlarging.

                The NE 555 timer ic and decade counter 4017 is the heart of the circuit. The astable multivibrator built around IC2 produces a clock frequency at its output pin 3. This output is connected to clock pin (pin 14) of the decade counter Cd 4017.The decade counter can count up to 10. But in circuit we only use 4 O\P so the Q4 (pin 10)  is connected to the reset (pin 15) of the CD 4017. The output of IC3 advances by one count every second (depending on the time period of astable multivibrator IC2). The VR1 connected between the Pins of IC2 determine the speed of the glowing of the bulb.

Arduino UNO - R3

               This is the new Arduino Uno R3. In addition to all the features of the previous board, the Uno now uses an ATmega16U2 instead of the 8U2 found on the Uno (or the FTDI found on previous generations). This allows for faster transfer rates and more memory. No drivers needed for Linux or Mac (inf file for Windows is needed and included in the Arduino IDE), and the ability to have the Uno show up as a keyboard, mouse, joystick, etc.
     
                           

     

Arduino Duemilanove

                   This is the latest revision of the basic Arduino USB board. It connects to the computer with a standard USB cable and contains everything else you need to program and use the board. It can be extended with a variety of shields. Arduino is an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple i/o board and a development environment that implements the Processing / Wiring language. Arduino can be used to develop stand-alone interactive objects or can be connected to software on your computer (e.g. Flash, Processing, MaxMSP). The open-source IDE can be downloaded for free (currently for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux).

What is a Raspberry Pi



The Raspberry Pi is a credit-card sized computer that plugs into your TV and a keyboard. It’s a capable little PC which can be used for many of the things that your desktop PC does, like spreadsheets, word-processing and games. It also plays high-definition video. 


The Raspberry Pi measures 85.60mm x 56mm x 21mm, with a little overlap for the SD card and connectors which project over the edges. It weighs 45g. 

The SoC is a Broadcom BCM2835. This contains an ARM1176JZFS, with floating point, running at 700Mhz, and a Videocore 4 GPU. The GPU is capable of BluRay quality playback, using H.264 at 40MBits/s. It has a fast 3D core accessed using the supplied OpenGL ES2.0 and OpenVG libraries.

16 Led Chaser



            The heart of the project is Microchip Pic 16F628A. The Pic 16F628A muc can show various type of led design. You can seen in the above video.The 8 O\P of muc drives the 16 leds. The push button help to change the led pattern.

Cell phone controlled car without micro controller

I had made this cell phone controlled car for my project. In every cell phone controlled car there is costly micro controller. But in my car i don't use a  micro controller. so the programming is not need for my car.  So every beginners in the electronics can do this project.

The car can move forward, backward, Left turn, Right turn, Rotating clock wise, Anti rotating clock wise.

The main part of the car is DTMF decoder ic and a motor driver. The DTMF decoder decodes the signals from the mobile and send to the motor driver ic. For every decoded signal there is a movement in the car.
