2 Day Intense Fat Loss & Muscle Tone Workout

2 Day Intense Fat Loss & Muscle Tone Workout

Workout Description


This intense 2 day full body workout is designed for decreasing fat and increasing muscle tone. This
workout was put to the test, and after 4 weeks subjects lost body fat and gained muscle mass!
This is a 2 day full body workout aimed at those individuals wanting fat loss and muscle tone. This routine was put to the test and after 4 weeks the clients actually loss fat (some 8 to 9 pounds) while gaining lean muscle mass (some 8 to 12 pounds).
The routine is designed for NO rest time in between exercises with 5 minute cardio sessions. Toughness of the routine will depend on the intensity of reps and cardio performed.
For optimal results, one should add cardio in an additional 2 days a week and be on a calorie deficient diet.

Notes For This Workout:

Typical heart-rate should be 75-85% of max heart-rate. This is a tough routine, so start yourself off easy and increase the intensity as capable.
Jumping Lunges are done without weight.
Butt Kicks are done with 10lb ankle weight on each leg.
Muffin Tops should be completed with 25lb weight min.
IF you have a friend, during static crunch (torso should be 45 degrees to floor) have him play “catch” with a 5 to 8 pound medicine ball. Tossing over head (where client has top reach above his head to catch it) adds a little extra “kick” to this exercise.

Electronics Concepts

Electronics Concepts

Basic idea :-
For every thing you are going to start something new you must know the basic concept behind it .
Now in case of electronics there are few basic which are must to be known by every one before getting started .
Hear is the list of important concepts of electronics ;-
1. series and parallel circuits .
2. curent and voltage relationship .
3. resistance .
4. power rating of components .
5. kvl and kcl law.
6. diodes biasing .
7. microcontrolers and their programing.
8. active and passive devices.
9. digital logic concepts (AND OR NOT etc).
10. active low or active high .

Resistive Touch Screen Arduino project

Resistive Touch Screen Arduino project 

ON 

Interfacing Resistive Touch Screen to Arduino :





first we must  know about the basic arduino programming 


Arduino Software


Software programs, called sketches, are created on a computer using the Arduino integrated
development environment (IDE). The IDE enables you to write and edit code
and convert this code into instructions that Arduino hardware understands. The IDE
also transfers those instructions to the Arduino board (a process called uploading).

Arduino Hardware


The Arduino board is where the code you write is executed. The board can only control
and respond to electricity, so specific components are attached to it to enable it to
interact with the real world. These components can be sensors, which convert some
aspect of the physical world to electricity so that the board can sense it, or actuators,
which get electricity from the board and convert it into something that changes the
world. Examples of sensors include switches, accelerometers, and ultrasound distance
sensors. Actuators are things like lights and LEDs, speakers, motors, and displays.
There are a variety of official boards that you can use with Arduino software and a wide
range of Arduino-compatible boards produced by members of the community.
The most popular boards contain a USB connector that is used to provide power and
connectivity for uploading your software onto the board. 



You need to install the Arduino development environment on your computer.
and can be found on arduino website or use this link 



Lets get started


           Resistive touch screens all work in the same way, so this interface would probably work decently across many different touch screens. Just make sure you have the datasheet for your screen incase there is any doubt about how it works.

Y-Axis



1 Principles of Operation


1.1 Resistive Touch-Screen Concept

A resistive touch screen is constructed with two transparent layers coated with a conductive material
stacked on top of each other. When pressure is applied by a finger or a stylus on the screen, the top layer
makes contact with the lower layer. When a voltage is applied across one of the layers, a voltage divider
is created. The coordinates of a touch can be found by applying a voltage across one layer in the Y
direction and reading the voltage created by the voltage divider to find the Y coordinate, and then applying
a voltage across the other layer in the X direction and reading the voltage created by the voltage divider to
find the X coordinate.

1.2 Detecting a Touch

To know if the coordinate readings are valid, there must be a way to detect whether the screen is being
touched or not. This can be done by applying a positive voltage (VCC) to Y+ through a pullup resistor and
applying ground to X–. The pullup resistor must be significantly larger than the total resistance of the touch
screen, which is usually a few hundred ohms. When there is no touch, Y+ is pulled up to the positive
voltage. When there is a touch, Y+ is pulled down to ground as shown in Figure 1. This voltage-level
change can be used to generate a pin-change interrupt.


Resistive Touch Screen Arduino project



1.3 Reading a 4-Wire Screen


The x and y coordinates of a touch on a 4-wire touch screen can be read in two steps. First, Y+ is driven
high, Y– is driven to ground, and the voltage at X+ is measured. The ratio of this measured voltage to the
drive voltage applied is equal to the ratio of the y coordinate to the height of the touch screen. The
y coordinate can be calculated . The x coordinate can be similarly obtained by driving
X+ high, driving X– to ground, and measuring the voltage at Y+. The ratio of this measured voltage to the
drive voltage applied is equal to the ratio of the x coordinate to the width of the touch screen.

This one is very interesting project for beginners 

All the very best with it.
