AVR Micro controller Based Foot Step Power Generation System


Here we propose an advanced footstep power generator system that uses peizo sensors to generate power from human footsteps. The system allows for a platform for placing footsteps. The peizo sensors are mounted below the platform to generate voltage from footsteps. The sensors are placed in such an arrangement so as to generate maximum output voltage. This is then provided to our monitoring circuitry.
The circuit is a micro controller based monitoring circuit that allows user to monitor the voltage and charges a connected battery by it.
It also displays the charge generated and displays on an LCD display. Also it consists of a USB mobile phone charging point where user may connect cables to charge mobile phone from the battery charge.
Thus we charge a battery using power from user footsteps, display it on LCD using micro controller circuit and allow for mobile charging through the setup.

IoT Based Contact less Tachometer with Speed Control Using AVR Microcontroller and Hall Effect Sensor

Image
ABSTRACT Tachometer is device used to count the revolutions per minute of a rotating shaft. Generally tachometer makes direct contact with the rotating shaft. It will reduce the velocity of the shaft, giving faulty readings. Hence it is needed to measure the speed of rotating shaft without direct contact. This project describes a contact -less tachometer using AVR microcontroller ATmega328P and a hall affect sensor. This device can very accurately measure the rotational speed of a shaft without even touching it. This device is built on an ATmega328P microcontroller, an alpha-numeric LCD module and a Hall Effect sensor to detect the rotation of the shaft whose speed is being measured. In this project Hall Effect sensor acts as a digital counting device. It will detect any magnetic element passing in front of it and thus, will give an output pulse for each and every rotation of the shaft. These pulses are fed to microcontroller. Microcontroller counts the pulses coming from Ha...

Power Line Carrier Communication Using X10 Protocol

ABSTRACT Most   electric   power   companies   employs   power   meter reader   to   collect   data   on   the customer’s energy consumption. Usually, this task is carried out manually, which can lead to high cost and errors, causing financial losses. This project has taken some approaches to minimize these problems. As in everywhere automation is required to reduce the work so we decided to implement to automatic meter reading using power line communication (PLC). Automatic meter reading (AMR) is the modern Power measuring device. It has advantages in safety, real time measuring and time saving as well as it has a better user interface and digital data analysis. Data is   send   over   existing   power   line   using   X10   protocol   that   reduces   the   complexity   and   cost   of system. In the latest generation of home automation systems, appl...
