    Needed help for using ULN2803

    I needed help on using ULN2803. Like i wanted to drive some relays using uln2803. So how should i configure the uln. The condition is i want to ouput 12 from ULN2803. I have provided ground to 9th pin and 12vcc to 10th pin. Now if i provide ground from microcontroller circuit. to input pins (i...

    To drive a 12v relay by atmega32 using BC547

    Hey everyone, i am not able to get a simple thing here. I am trying to drive a relay by atmega32 using a BC 547 transistor. my connections as of now are : Relay Pin 1 (Coil) <------- +12v Relay Pin 2 (Coil) ------> Collector (BC547) From microcontroller -----> Base (BC547)(with 1k...

    Question about triads that can be used instead of relays

    I was working on a home automation project. I was wondering if relays are the only option to switch AC appliances like light bulb, fan through a microcontroller. I also heard about triads, solid state relays. can they be used instead of relays. The relays which i have chosen now are of 12v...

    How to debug this avrnet project?

    I was working on a project and we needed a circuit very similar to "avrnet". So thought will try to replicate the avrnet first and then make some changes to it. Here's the link to this "avrnet" project : https://www.avrportal.com/?page=avrnet So we made the PCB and assembled all the...

    Detecting AC voltage and taking the input to the atmega32

    @sagar_satish : thanks a lot. I didn't know about these optocouplers and i think this is what i precisely wanted. :)

    Detecting AC voltage and taking the input to the atmega32

    hey thanks sagar_satish. I would like to give more details. What i am trying to do here is to detect whether an AC appliance is ON or not. ? like a light bulb or something. So i would want to detect the presence of AC current in the wire from switch to the bulb.? which is the ideal solution to...

    Detecting AC voltage and taking the input to the atmega32

    But what we need is a DC input to the microcontroller (atmega32 in our case). So what we were thinking is about step down tranformer, a rectifier, and a regulator. I dont know much about the "opto-isolated zero-cross detector". So which would be the better solution.?

    Detecting AC voltage and taking the input to the atmega32

    I am trying to detect AC voltage (ie 220v, 50hz) and take the input to the atmega32. Like, to detect whether an AC appliance is ON or not.. ? So what would be the ideal circuit to do this. Am a computer science guy and havent got expertise in electronics.. so please do suggest an idea...
