What is Temperature Switch/Thermo Switch/Thermostat? Thermo Switches are smart little devices that operate automatically when they reach a specific temperature (either open or close). They’re a crucial part of heating/cooling systems because they control and regulate the temperature. How do Thermal Switches Work? Thermo switches operate based on the contraction and expansion of a bimetallic strip and the difference in their expansion coefficient. In this article, we won’t go into much detail, but to p...

NanoPi Duo Board Features The NanoPi Duo Board functions like a compact computer, offering a range of features. Its main processor—Allwinner H2+—provides sufficient processing power through its Cortex-A7 quad-core processor. The board also comes with DDR3-type Memory available in two models: 256MB and 512MB.The NanoPi Duo board includes USB ports that allow you to connect peripherals such as a keyboard, mouse, storage device, or Wi-Fi dongle. In addition, you can connect the internal Ethernet port o...

Overview Suppose you want to make a 4x4x4 LED matrix. You will need 64 digital pins to control such an LED matrix. So, it would not be affordable if you decided to choose a microcontroller which has that number of digital pins. So, what is the alternative? In such cases, the most suitable way is to use a shift register to increase the number of digital pins of your microcontroller. Increasing the number of digital pins of microcontrollers is among the most attractive and practical topics. In many applicatio...

Overview Which feature of RGB LEDs has made them an attractive and practical component in Electronics and Lighting Industry?Answer: Their unique feature of regulating the ratio of the three primary colors (red, green, and blue) to generate a desired color with one LED. An RGB LED has a common pin as well as three pins for red, green, and blue colors. We can combine these primary colors to generate countless colors by controlling these pins with a PWM pulse signal. (The number of colors changes depending...

Overview Most people reading this article are probably familiar with Arduino or at least have heard the name. In this article, we try to introduce this platform in more details and study it from a critical point of view. Furthermore, we will point out the features we have come to discover in our experiences that have not been appropriately addressed. In the first section of the article, we discuss Arduino’s past, why and how it came to life and then study its components. In the second section, we b...
