    what are the safety/protection I will have to take when converting 0 to 240V to 0 to 1V , feeding to adc pin of microcontroller

    Hi, I want to measure the voltage of the fan regulator and feed into ADC pin of ESP 8266, The range of ADC is 0 to 1V, theoretically I can use the below circuit. VG1 being the load voltage taken from the fan regulator, VF1 will be driven into my ADC pin , My doubt is, can i go with this circuit...

    Creating a PWM-signal that works properly

    Hello guys, I am currently working with a mircocontroller for the first time. My goal is to achieve a PWM-signal (1kHz). While trying to generate the signal I encountered the problem that my signal seems to be moving horizontal due to inconsistancy in time up to 100 µs. The goal was to...

    How to interface CMOS image sensors with 32-bit Microcontrollers?

    I've been learning to program 32-bit ARM cortex-M controllers with an STM32 Nucleo (L476rg Nucleo). I've been playing with interfacing and controlling stepper motors so far. My next step is to move on to machine/computer vision and incorporate image sensing however upon some searching (hopefully...

    Microdevt - Interrupt-based Drivers

    Hi there! Does anybody known how to code an interrupt driven driver using Microdevt toolkit (www.kw-net.com) ? I am trying to develop a simple driver on my atmega328 that enqueues a bitstream from an other uC. The bitstream is read on an input pin and then processed if a certain amount of data...

    Sun tracking using Arduino

    I want to make a programe on arduino with which I could compare inputs from 2 LDR and move the servo motor (sg 90) according to the values. At the end my main task is if both the sensors are in dark for specified time the motor should move back to its original position. I need help in...

    How to implement my control system on my dsPIC33EV 5V CAN -LIN Starter kit (dsPIC33EV256GM106)

    Hello everyone, So I have been working on a wireless charger for EV applications. The prototype I designed uses a control system to manage the voltage at the exit of the charger. Without going too deep, we can just assume the charger is a source supplying a square signal of 15 Volts of 150kHz...

    What's the function of a microcontroller that is put between a voltage source and a sensor (a low-power device)?

    Hello, I have a very general question concerning digital electronics: Given a sinusoidal voltage source (followed by its rectification circuit so that in the end the voltage is constant) and a final sensor (to be powered directly with the voltage source), why do I need to put a...

    SAMD21G18 - getting it started

    Hello, I designed a board with a samd21g18 microcontroller. Now, I tried starting it and at first it looked good, nothing exploded. I broke out all the connections I would need for the SWD/JTAG connector and connected those with an Atmel-Ice programmer. Now I started Atmel Studio and wanted to...

    External Interrupt on PIC16F887 not working // MPLABX XC8 C

    I would need some help with the external interrupt on pin 33 on the PIC16F887(PDIP). Basically I have tried everything, went by the datasheet, and the interrupt ended up not working. I'm 99% sure, that I have the hardware working because it worked with an Arduino. I am using an encoder, and both...
