Introduction To Microcontroller

What is a microcontroller ? Microcontroller in simple term refers to  a small computer on a single chip. Its like an artificial mind for any intelligent devices which is responsible for taking decisions. [eg your robot needs to take decisions, then a microcontroller would do that for us.] Microcontroller can be programmed , and has its own programming language and compilers. Hence in our robotic applications it is going to serve as a mind which will be responsible for taking all decisions.

Identify Anode Cathode of Led ( Light Emitting Diode )

How to Identify the polarity (cathode/anode) of a LED , How to identity the -ve and +ve (cathode anode)polarity of a LED without using multimeter.LED's or Light Emitting Diode's don’t come with any labeling on it to identify Cathode(-ve,GND) or Anode(+ve).So for identification , led’s comes with a unique way to identify its terminals as Anode or Cathode.
