In this project we are going to build a cell phone controlled robot using 8051 microcontroller. Cell phone controlled robot runs over mobile DTMF technology. DTMF stands for Dual Tone Multiple Frequency. There are some frequencies that we use to create DTMF tones. In simple words by adding or mixing two or more frequencies we generate DTMF tone.

RFID Based Attendance System Project
In this RFID based Attendance System project, we will explain you how can we count attendance automatically by using RFID cards. RFID Tecnology (Radio Frequency Identification and Detection) is commonly used in schools, colleges, office and stations for various purposes to automatically keep a track of people. Here we will count the attendance of an authorised person by using RFID.

8255 PROGRAMABLE PERIPHERAL INTERFACE
The 8255 is a programmable, parallel I/O device simply called PPI.
It can be programmed to transfer data in various modes of I/O.
It provides 24 I/O pins that can be grouped into three 8 bit parallel ports: PORT A, PORT B and PORT C.

Keypad Interfacing with 8051
Keypads are widely used input devices being used in various electronics and embedded projects. They are used to take inputs in the form of numbers and albhabets, and feed the same into system for further processing. In this tutorial we are going to interface a 4x4 matrix keypad with 8051 microcontroller.

INFRARED TRACKING SYSTEM USING ATMEGA32
Our project is an infrared (IR) tracking system. A beacon, placed on the object to be tracked, continuously emits infrared signals in all directions. The signals coming from the beacon are detected by 2 IR receivers mounted on 2 stepper motors, which rotate independently and are in separate locations.

Connecting Piezo Speaker to ATmega32 Microcontroller
An ATMega32 sound generator code is extremely simple to implement. Almost any GPIO pin can drive a piezo buzzer, and the output quality is fine for producing some beeps. The code shown here is the simplest one I remember using basic physics, and since it does not use PWM it could be implemented on almost any microcontroller.

Digital Voltmeter using AVR Microcontrolelr
In this project we are going to design a 25V range digital voltmeter by using ATMEGA32A microcontroller. In ATMEGA, we are going to use 10bit ADC (Analog to Digital Converter) to build a digital voltmeter. Now the ADC in ATMEGA can not take a input more than +5V, so for getting a higher range we are going to use a voltage divider circuit.

8051 Microcontroller Based Gesture Controlled Robot
A Gesture Controlled robot is a kind of robot which can be controlled by your hand gestures not by old buttons.You just need to wear a small transmitting device in your hand which included an acceleration meter. This will transmit an appropriate command to the robot so that it can do whatever we want.

Beagleboard based Dancing SpiderBot
The E.L.F. robot dances to the beat of any song it hears. One of the coolest things about this project is that its creator, John Jensen, had no previous hardware building experience prior to this project. This quick learner made the SpiderBot while deployed to Iraq. He chose the BeagleBoard to give the spider plenty of speed and well-defined dance moves.

LED Interfacing with 8051 Microcontroller
LED interfacing is the first thing, one would try to do while getting started with any microcontroller. So here in this tutorial we are going to interface a LED with 8051 microcontroller, and will write a C Program to blink the LED. We have used a very popular microcontroller AT89S52, of 8051 family, by ATMEL.

Threading and Timers in Atmega328p
My motivation for this project was to minimize the usage of functions such as _delay_ms(), _delay_us() and their derivatives with some exceptions, like delays to control the LCD.
Delay pauses the whole program, so if one is using delay for 10 seconds everything will pause for those 10 seconds, therefore nothing can be done in those 10 seconds.

USING AN AVR AS AN RFID TAG
Last time, I posted an ultra-simple “from scratch” RFID reader, which uses no application-specific components: just a Propeller microcontroller and a few passive components. This time, I tried the opposite: building an RFID tag using no application-specific parts.
