OverviewIn this project we are going to build our own MPPT Solar Charge Controller using Arduino and by combining many active-passive electronics. MPPT means Maximum Power Point Tracking Controller. Most solar panels produce much higher voltage than is necessary to charge a 12V battery. A 12V charging panel will actually produce 16 to 18 volts, dep..

Introduction to Dual Op Amp IC LM358The LM358 is a highly versatile and widely used dual operational amplifier (op-amp) integrated circuit (IC) that has become a cornerstone in electronics due to its reliability, affordability, and flexibility. This IC integrates two independent, high-gain, frequency-compensated operational amplifiers within a sing..

The gravity arduino turbidity sensor detects water quality by measuring the levels of turbidity, or the opaqueness. It uses light to detect suspended particles in water by measuring the light transmittance and scattering rate, which changes with the amount of total suspended solids (TSS) in water. As the TTS increases, the liquid turbidity level in..

Since its introduction in 1982, the I2C (Inter-Integrated Circuit) protocol has been one of the most widely used communication standards in embedded systems and IoT (Internet of Things) devices. With its simple two-wire architecture, low cost, and high compatibility, I2C has become the preferred method for communication between microcontrollers, se..
