In this tutorial, I will show you how to connect a potentiometer with Arduino. First I will show the potentiometer reading on the Arduino serial monitor. Then I will use that data to control the brightness of an LED. Potentiometer Overview A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms … Read more ➯
Push-button is a key component in most electronics projects. It is a very simple and useful component to add user interaction to your project. I am sure all of you used a push button before in day-to-day life. For example, a tv remote has push buttons to change channels and volume. In this tutorial, I … Read more ➯
In the previous Arduino LCD tutorial, you have noticed that the classic parallel LCD consumes a lot of pins on the Arduino. Even in the 4-bit mode, it requires at least 6 digital I/O pins on the Arduino. So in many projects where you use the classic parallel LCD, you will run out of pins … Read more ➯
The DHT11 sensor can measure temperature and humidity in the air. It gives pre-calibrated digital output, so you can interface with any microcontroller like Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, etc. You can easily use this sensor in your weather monitoring system or home automation system. In this tutorial, I will build a small circuit to interface … Read more ➯
