Concept of Touch LCD LC7981 using ATMega An on-off controller is the simplest form of a temperature control device. The output from the device is either on or off, with no middle state. An on-off controller will switch the output only when the temperature crosses the set-point. For heating control, the output is on when the

Standard alphanumeric LCD display controlled by 74HC164 LCD controller can accept 8 bit data bytes or 4 bit nibbles. Earlier my 4 bit and 8 bit LCD libraries were split in separate files as they were used in different projects. Now they are merged in to one library where simple logic is implemented to select 4 bit or 8 bit library

For measuring motos speed there can Optical interrupter used like H21A1. This is a device where IR LED and photo-transistor is coupled in to plastic housing. The gap between then allows interrupting signal with opaque material and this way switching the output from ON to OFF. This device can be connected to Microcontrollers ICP pin and
