This Radioisotope Analyzer project is built around PIC32MX360F512L. The device used for identifying and studying sources of ionizing radiation. This handheld laboratory instrument will processes the signal from a sensor called a “scintillation probe”, analyzes and stores the data, and produces a graphical output known as an “energy spectrum”. The location and amplitude of [...]

Infrared Radar

February 20, 2010 By: admin Category: AVR, Detector, Project, Sensor No Comments →

This AVR ATmega8 based radar range finder project uses infrared light instead of ultrasonic. The project is built to detect sound absorbing materials like padded furniture which can not be detected by ultrasonic radar. Ultrasonic ranging systems require many milliseconds of acquisition time rendering them unusable for fast moving systems.

Solar LED Lamp

February 19, 2010 By: admin Category: AVR, LED, Project, Sensor No Comments →

This is LED lamp project powered by solar. It will harvesting the Sun during the day and charging the battery. The project uses SEPIC converter that capable of boosting or dropping the input voltage. It allows the use of a battery with a voltage close to the LED conduction voltage. The project is built around [...]

Humidity Meter for Soils

January 23, 2010 By: admin Category: Measurement, Microcontroller, PIC, Project, Sensor No Comments →

There are some ways to measure humidity in soils, which are different and more difficult than measuring relative humidity or humidity in air. One example is to take the sample, warm it up and measure the time it takes to loss humidity and the weight of the soil before and after the process.

Color Detector

January 21, 2010 By: admin Category: AVR, Data Acquisition, Microcontroller, Project, Sensor No Comments →

The aim of this project is to help blind people, or people with Color blindness problem, who has difficulty to differ colors. The system will analyzes the color of a surface and then pronounces its result through speaker.
The project uses TRS17xx as color sensors. The voltage at sensor output will be varies depend on rays [...]
