                  Our universities are like our mothers. They take our grooming factor to heights. They build up our communication skills. They tell us how to present things in front of others. They make up our body languages and most of all they take our confidence to infinity by removing all hesitations. Our universities especially public sectors provide us international level degree at very low and affordable cost which help us avail great opportunities. They polish our skills and make us able to do something creative and extraordinary. Universities nourish and groom us for years and surely, they have right over any one year of our life as well. We get services and nourishment from our universities and government.                We are quite lucky we because we got such things in our lives but there are millions of children on roads in Pakistan. Those students aren't lucky enough to get care from our society or government. They don't get proper nourishment. They don'

How to use Dot Matrix without Arduino ?

Yes, It's true. You can make circuit using Dot Matrix Single color without Arduino. Excited ? Look here it is.  Let's make this. Components: Dot Matrix 8*8 (Single Color. I'm using Yellow)  - 1 Piece  8 bit DIP switches - 2 Pieces 5 Volt Battery. IC's ULN2003A  - 2 Pieces Transistors 2N3904 Transistor - 8 Pieces  2SA684 Transistor - 8 Pieces  Resistors 1K Ohm - 10 Pieces 10 Ohm - 10 Pieces 33 Ohm - 10 Pieces 470 Ohm - 10 Pieces 4.7K Ohm 10 Pieces TIPS BEFORE GETTING START. Many people have queries related to Dot Matrix and other things let me clear that. Single Color Dot Matrix do not have any common anode or cathode. There is just rows and columns, as we are using 8*8 matrix we'll have 8 pins for Columns and 8 pins for Rows and you can connect them in any order. Beside this we are using 2 Type of Transistors. 2N3904  This is NPN Transisitor and here is it's Pin Configuration. 2SA684 This is PNP Transis
