KNOW YOURSELF -- PHOBIAS

       A Phobia is a persistent, excessive, or unreasonable fear of something to the point of impairment. Someone with a phobia may feel fear or anxiety in the presence of the object or during a situation, or they may feel fear or anxiety in the anticipation of encountering that thing or situation. 

       Having phobias can disrupt daily routines, limit work efficiency, reduce self-esteem, and place a strain on relationships because people will do whatever they can to avoid the uncomfortable and often-terrifying feelings of phobic anxiety.While some phobias develop in childhood, most seem to arise unexpectedly, usually during adolescence or early adulthood. Their onset is usually sudden, and they may occur in situations that previously did not cause any discomfort or anxiety.

       As far as I know, the only phobia I have is "Scoleciphobia" or the fear of worms. For me, it is really disgusting and it made me feel itchy whenever I saw worms especially if it is slimy. HUHUHU!! (T_T)

    Here are some types of phobias, you may have.

Ablutophobia- Fear of washing or bathing.






Acrophobia- Fear of heights.

 




Agyrophobia- Fear of streets or crossing the street.




Androphobia- Fear of men.



 

Anuptaphobia- Fear of staying single.

Cacophobia- Fear of ugliness.




 



Caligynephobia- Fear of beautiful women.







Clinophobia- Fear of going to bed.


  




Coimetrophobia- Fear of cemeteries.
 





Dentophobia- Fear of dentists
 



 

 
Gamophobia- Fear of marriage



  

Insectophobia- Fear of insects.







Japanophobia- Fear of Japanese.
               
 
 
                           





Melophobia- Fear or hatred of music.

Necrophobia- Fear of death or dead things.

 


  
Sinophobia- Fear of Chinese, Chinese culture. 






Trypophobia - Fear of holes.

INTRODUCTION TO ARDUINO

      

         Arduino is an open-source electronic platform based on easy-to-used hardware and software. It's intented for any one making interactive projects.Arduino senses the environment by receiving inputs from many sensor and affects its sorroundings by controlling lights,motors,and other actuators.

                                       PARTS OF ARDUINO (UNO)

1 USB PORT - Every Arduino board needs a way to be connected to a power source. The Arduino UNO can be powered from a USB cable coming from your computer.

2. POWER JACK - Act as a power input for arduino through which you can connect by means of DC voltage supply.

3.GROUND - There are several GND pins on the Arduino, any of which can be used to ground your circuit.

4-5. 5V & 3.3V - The 5V pin supplies 5 volts of power, and the 3.3V pin supplies 3.3 volts of power. Most of the simple components used with the Arduino run happily off of 5 or 3.3 volts.

6. ANALOG PINS - The area of pins under the ‘Analog In’ label (A0 through A5 on the UNO) are Analog In pins. These pins can read the signal from an analog sensor (like a temperature sensor) and convert it into a digital value that we can read.

7. DIGITAL PINS - Across from the analog pins are the digital pins (0 through 13 on the UNO). These pins can be used for both digital input (like telling if a button is pushed) and digital output (like powering an LED).

8. PULSE-WIDTH MODULATION - You may have noticed the tilde (~) next to some of the digital pins (3, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11 on the UNO). These pins act as normal digital pins, but can also be used for something called Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM).These pins being able to simulate analog output (like fading an LED in and out).

9. ANALOG REFERENCE (AREF) - Most of the time you can leave this pin alone. It is sometimes used to set an external reference voltage (between 0 and 5 Volts) as the upper limit for the analog input pins.

10. RESET BUTTON - Pushing it will temporarily connect the reset pin to ground and restart any code that is loaded on the Arduino.

11.Power LED Indicator - Just beneath and to the right of the word “UNO” on your circuit board, there’s a tiny LED next to the word ‘ON’. This LED should light up whenever you plug your Arduino into a power source. If this light doesn’t turn on, there’s a good chance something is wrong.

12.TX AND RX LEDs - TX is short for transmit, RX is short for receive.These LEDs will give us some nice visual indications whenever our Arduino is receiving or transmitting data (like when we’re loading a new program onto the board).

13. MICROCONTROLLER - This acts as the brain of Arduino. It is usually from the ATmega line of IC’s from the ATMEL company.

14. VOLTAGE REGULATOR - The voltage regulator controls the amount of voltage that is let into the Arduino board. It will turn away an extra voltage that might harm the circuit. It has its limits, so don’t hook up your Arduino to anything greater than 12 volts.



                           
                                     .. SOME ARDUINO BOARDS..            

ARDUINO UNO (R3)

The Uno is a great choice for your first Arduino. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a USB connection, a power jack, a reset button and more. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller.

LILYPAD ARDUINO

LilyPad is a wearable e-textile technology developed. It was creatively designed with large connecting pads and a flat back to allow them to be sewn into clothing with conductive thread.

REDBOARD

The RedBoard can be programmed over a USB Mini-B cable using the Arduino IDE. It’ll work on Windows 8 without having to change your security settings (we used signed drivers, unlike the UNO). It’s more stable due to the USB/FTDI chip.

ARDUINO MEGA (R3)

The Arduino Mega is like the UNO’s big brother. It has lots (54!) of digital input/output pins (14 can be used as PWM outputs), 16 analog inputs, a USB connection, a power jack, and a reset button. It contains everything needed to support the microcontroller.

ARDUINO LEONARDO

This is the first development board to use one microcontroller with built-in USB. This means that it can be cheaper and simpler. The board is handling USB directly, code libraries are available which allow the board to emulate a computer keyboard,      mouse, and more!

THE OR GATE

An OR gate is a digital logic gate with two or more inputs and one output that performs logical dis-junction. The output of an OR gate is true when one or more of its inputs are true. If all of an OR gate's input are false,then the output of the OR gate is false.

OR GATE SYMBOL

A truth table shows how a logic circuit's output responds to various combinations of the inputs using logic 1 for true and logic 0 for false.

 
      
    In TTL logic the internal arrangement differs from that incase of CMOS logics. In TTL logic 2- input OR gate IC number is 74LS32. popularly known as 7432. LS stands for low power schottky version.

IC 7432

In this IC pin 1 and 2 are the inputs of first gate where the output is from pin number 3. Again pin number 4 and 5 are the inputs of second gate whose output is in pin 6. Pin 10 and 9 are the inputs of fourth gate whose output is at pn 8. The input of the last gate or fourth gate is pin 13 and 12 and pin 11 is its output. Pin 7 is ground and pin 14 is +vcc supply where again +Vcc supply where again +SVdC is the normal and maximum supply. One thing must be maintain at +SVDC. If the i/p voltage would be more than this it may cause damage to the IC.
