The number system that we are mostly familiar with is a decimal number system. The decimal number system has a base of ten which implies that there are ten numbers by the help of which we can represent any number of the decimal family. The numbers are from 0 to 9. Representation is such as… Continue reading Binary to Decimal and Decimal to Binary Conversion

What is the Binary Number System? In digital electronics Binary numbers are the most important tool for giving digital inputs. Now before understanding binary number system, we have to understand decimal number system, which we use in our daily life. The number system first introduced in human history for counting purpose. Different numbers for counting… Continue reading Binary Number System

We know that binary and octal are two different kinds of number systems whose bases are 2 and 8 respectively, i.e. they use 2 and 8 digits respectively to represent their numbers and these numbers are 0, 1 (for binary) and 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (for octal). Now we can transform… Continue reading Binary to Octal and Octal Binary Conversion

In early days octal number system was mostly used in minicomputers. The word “OCT” means eight. The octal number system says that it is a number system of base 8 which means that we require 8 different symbols in order to represent any number in octal system. The symbols are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4,… Continue reading Octal Number System

What is Digital Electronics? We know there are two types of signals, one is analog or continuous signal and the second one is Digital or discrete signal. So the science or field of research in the area of engineering is termed as Analog and Digital Electronics respectively. Now coming to the area of Digital Electronics,… Continue reading Digital Electronics: Basics and Definition

What is an Arduino? Arduino is an open-source hardware development board. It has a programmable circuit board and a software (IDE- Integrated Development Environment) that runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. Arduino was developed at the Ivrea Interaction Design Institute by Massimo Benzi in Italy. It was developed for fast prototyping, and aimed at people… Continue reading Arduino vs Raspberry Pi
