Stepper Motor or Step Motor

Interfacing Stepper Motor with 8051 using Keil C – AT89C51

Stepper Motor A Stepper Motor is a brushless, synchronous DC Motor. It has many applications in the field of robotics and mechatronics. The total rotation of the motor is divided into steps. The angle of a single step is known as the stepper angle of the motor. There are two types of stepper motors Unipolar and Bipolar. Due to the ease of operation unipolar stepper motor is commonly used by electronics hobbyists. For more details please read the article Stepper Motor or Step Motor....

Interfacing DC Motor with 8051 using L293D – AT89C51

In some of the electronics projects you may want to control a DC Motor with 8051 microcontroller. The maximum current that can be sourced or sunk from a 8051 microcontroller is 15 mA at 5v. But a DC Motor need currents very much more than that and it need voltages 6v, 12v, 24v etc, depending upon the type of motor used. Another problem is that the back emf produced by the motor may affect the proper functioning of the microcontroller. Due to these reasons we...

relay

Interfacing Relay with 8051 using Keil C – AT89C51

In some electronic applications we need to switch or control high voltages or high currents. In these cases we may use electromagnetic or solid state relays. For example, it can be used to control home appliances using low power electronic circuits. relay An electromagnetic relay is a switch which is used to switch High Voltage or Current using Low power circuits. It magnetically isolates low power circuits from high power circuits. It is activated by energizing a electromagnet, coil wounded on a soft iron core. For...

Blinking LED using Atmega32 Microcontroller and Atmel Studio

Similar to printing 'Hello World' in C or C++, the very first step towards programming a microcontroller is Blinking a LED with a delay. Atmega32 is a very popular high performance 8 bit AVR Microcontroller. For this example project we need to use two registers DDR and PORT. DDR stands for Data Direction Register, it determines the direction (Input/Output) of each pins on the microcontroller. HIGH at DDR register makes corresponding pin Output while LOW at DDR register makes corresponding...

AT89C51

LED Blinking using 8051 Microcontroller and Keil C – AT89C51

8051 Microcontroller is a programmable device which is used for controlling purpose. Basically 8051 controller is Mask programmable means it will programmed at the time of manufacturing and will not programmed again, there is a derivative of 8051 microcontroller, 89c51 micro controller which is re-programmable. AT89C51 89c51 is 8-bit device means it is capable of doing 8-bit operations.  It have 4 ports which are used as input or output according to your need. This device also have Timer, Serial Port interface and Interrupt controlling you can use these according to your need. The datasheet may be downloaded...
