About the project

It is a general purpose LEARNING BOARD similar to arduino microcontroller, but more features than Arduino microcontroller. I have designed it using ATMEGA328P IC.Moreover, in addition with functions of arduino microcontroller Motor driver, Bluetooth, relay ports are separately given in the board.

Story

LEARNING BOARD (EMBEDDED CONTROLLER):

It is a general purpose LEARNING BOARD similar to arduino microcontroller. I have designed it using ATMEGA328P IC. Using this board we can interface analog and digital sensors and used for multiple applications. Moreover, in addition with functions of arduino microcontroller Motor driver, Bluetooth ports are specifically fixed in board which is very helpful for the user.Relay and 5V DC fan are inbuilt in the board to check the outputs with in the board .By using the separate ports user can perform tasks very easy with time efficient way. In the working module I have used four sensors namely ultrasonic ,IR,Temperature and Soil moisture sensor and the outputs are verified externally by different LED's.

I have used FTDI USB driver to dump the code .Buzzer and Relay provisions are given in the board for the user convinience.Indicators are given to both analog and digital ports for output verifications. It is more efficient and low cost than arduino microcontroller.Thus I conclude that it is the perfect replacement of Arduino microcontroller.
