Tinkercad - DC Motor Speed Control

Image
In this article, we will interface a DC motor with an Arduino UNO using TinkerCAD software. Simulating a circuit before implementing the circuit manually helps to visualize the connections and it also provides the output under different conditions and constraints which would help to cross-check the output of the circuit implemented manually. What is Tinkercad? Tinkercad   is a free, easy-to-use app for 3D design, electronics, and coding. It's  used by  teachers, kids, hobbyists, and designers to imagine, design, and make anything! Since it became available in 2011 it has become a popular platform for creating models for 3D printing, electronics simulation, coding as well as an entry-level introduction to constructive solid geometry in the schools. Why we are using it? We are using Tinkercad for saving money, learning & microcontroller coding. In this project, we have used the circuits facility of Tinkercad for simulating our project  DC Motor Speed Control Using Arduino. The DC

  IoT based Home Automation enables to control of home appliances by using the internet. This technology allows us to control or monitor any devices at any place with our fingertips. It assures energy conservation and optimized use of money and energy. In this article, we will learn how to design a simple home automation system for controlling ceiling lights by using an IoT development board & AWS. Let's first start with the requirements that we will need to design the IoT project. Hardware Requirements: NodeMcu - ESP8266 12E, is a very versatile IoT development board between IoT developers. Buy from  here . Relay Module - You can use 1 or 2 or 4 channel relays for this project. Buy from  here . Software Requirements: Arduino Ide: Download from  here , click on "Just Download". Amazon Web Services (AWS): Visit the  AWS  website. Open SSL: Download it from  here . Arduino Sketch Data Uploader: Download it from  here . Hardware Connection: The connection between the Nod
