Best From Waste



“Use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without”

E-Waste

The term “electronic waste” or “E-waste” elucidates discarded electronic devices, which are destined for reuse, resale, salvage, recycling or disposal. A general insight into the electronic waste generation cycle will make us realize the fact that this is an alarming problem, which needs to be addressed as soon as possible, on a global scale.


This chart shows the exponential growth of electronic waste generation in an under-developed nation, which is expected to reach about 1.8 million tonnes by the year 2025. If this seems alarming to you, then the fact that India alone produced a whopping 1.7 million tonnes of e-waste in the year 2014 alone, may come as a shock to you. Ranking 5th on the list, made by UN, of highest e-waste generators, India’s maximum e-waste comprised of household equipment.


In terms of per capita waste generation, India’s reports are less alarming (not in top 10 ranks), but the high rate of the population becomes the actual threat. This problem needs to be tackled as soon as possible and in an effective manner, as it possesses a high level of threat to the health of the community and the environment.

How to tackle the E-waste problem…???


And this is what my project is actually about:

A digital LED display from disposed of decorative lightings.


I have used some damaged decorative lights and used its LED lights and its wire. I have also used a cardboard and an A4 size paper. These LEDs are arranged in a seven segment display, which is used to display any numeric value. This is done by creating a tube-like structure using rolled pieces of paper, which is placed systematically on the LEDs in a way that when a specific LED glows, it seems as if the entire segment is glowing. This display can be used to design a stop-watch, a digital clock in public areas or even a calculator’s display.


This project of mine is aimed at making everyone realize that even an unused/damaged decorative light can be used to make such a useful display that can be integrated into almost any latest electronics device/projects. Then consider the possibilities that can arise from all the e-waste that is generated all year round
I would like to conclude by just noting down that electronic waste that is considered as a global threat and generates pollution can be used in an effective manner to even generate revenue and even increase the scope of employment, thus giving a new edge to the e-waste industry.



The purpose - where I start - is the idea of use, It is not recycling, it's reuse,

Menu List on 20x4 LCD

MENU ON LCD(20x4) USING ARDUINO API In this project, I had made a menu on 20x4 lcd display using data structure in arduino. you will see how to perform many functions with 4 button(ENTER, NEXT, PREV, BACK) depending on the situation, such as going up the menu and brightening the LCD. Each menu has few submenus and also their sub-child which call various function to perform related task for clear understanding see below pictures. Followings are the software required to make this project. 1. Proteus for simulation of arduino hex file. Note:- how to simulate hex file in arduino please see  how-to-make-quick pressed led 2. Arduino for coding. Now Visit the given drive to get all the files. For any queries comment below. Thank You

Quick Pressed Led Animation Module

How to make a quick animated similar to touch led using Arduino ?. I think this is a very good project for the beginners to learn Arduino as well as to design PCB for this project and make it a fully customized Module. Let's get started... Before I proceed to explain these project you require the following thing. Arduino Uno RGB Led(common anode) Resistor 330ohm, 10k ohm Soldering iron Male strip -1 Push Button-1 Proteus and Arduino software 1. INSTALLATION OF SOFTWARE AND SIMULATION 1. Install the latest  proteus  in your PC 2. Add  Arduino library  in Proteus. 3.After installation creates a new  project  and makes the schematic as follows. 4. Install  Arduino  in your pc. 5. Add TimerOne library in Arduino.(Sketch ->Include Library -> Manage Libraries -> 6. Now write the  following code in Arduino  then Compile and generate  hex file . #include <TimerOne.h> const int button = 8; const int yellow = 9; const i

Best Ways to Download Udemy Courses on PC (Offline)

Udemy allows you to download videos on the android app for offline viewing, but in the case of PC, Downloading depends upon the instructor whether they allow it to download or not which is very rare. In the case of Mobile downloading you can only play the video in Udemy player or there are some cases in which when you update the app your offline encrypted downloaded video gets erased damn too frustrating. In this blog, I am going to tell you some of the best options to download Udemy courses on a computer. Either you can download one by one or by a single click you can download the whole video. Also, downloaded video is not encrypted and you can play it on any video player. Mine is VLC :P Method 1(Master Method): Udeler Udemy course downloader If you looking for some open-source software to download all or multiple videos in one Udemy course, there is open-source software Udeler to help you download all of your courses in one go. You can even specify the video quality and which v
