Neural networks are wide topic. But this small example demonstrates how to create basic neural sensor which takes resistive readings from multiply sensors and multiply it by wight factor and then sum the results. Results are compared to three level threshold. Without going too deep in to neural networks we can say, that neural cell thresholds are

similar to natural biological neurons. For instance pain levels: itch is low level of pain while burning sensations is combined of ice cold and warm sensations. Neural sensors can operate in the same way. Lets take typical neural sensors which consists of two inputs with some weights and three outputs. Depending on threshold level that sum of inputs gives a‚¬ we have and output signal on one of three outputs. Lets build real world neuron with two inputs and three outputs. As sensor I will use potentiometers which can be replaced by photocells or temperature sensors. According to these two sensor readings neuron can have three states: this could be like low light, medium light and high light, o low temp and so on. If you will decide to put neuron to your robot, this could be used for solar cell charging like if its is dark, go to sleep mode, if it is medium light go to brightest area, if it is high light level, stop and start charging. Above schematic is simple neuron sensor simulator made of Atmega8 MCU couple potentiometers and three LEDs. Lets write simple routine to simulate this embedded neuron. For simulation I used VMLAB simulator.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
