The following PIR LED lamp circuit was designed by me for one of the followers of this blog Mr.Deepak upon his request. The circuit is a LED driver which responds to ambient light as well as to the presence of a human, person or intruder, and varies its illumination accordingly, let’s know more. Technical Specifications “I was looking to […]

Rain Triggered Instant Start Windshield Wiper Timer Circuit
The following circuit was requested by one of the readers of this blog Mr. Keval. The actual request was for a rain triggered windshield wiper circuit, but the idea here has been further enhanced with a quick start feature for better efficiency. How Conventional Wiper Systems Work Normally, electronic wiper control circuit involve a bistable for switching the […]
Make a Football Electricity Generator Circuit
The explained football electricity generator circuit was developed by me in response to the request sent by one of the readers Mr.Bright. Though I am not sure if the explained concept would actually give the intended results, it’s worth trying as it’s quite easy to understand and build. Designing the Generator There were three things that I had to consider while designing the […]
Simple Programmable Timer Circuit
This programmable timer can be used for switching a load ON and OFF with two sets of time delays, which are programmable from 2 seconds to 24 hours independently. The delay timings are adjustable according to the users personal specs. The ON time delay and the OFF time delay are independently settable and this facility […]
Simple Delay Timer Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained the making of simple delay timers using very ordinary components like transistors, capacitors and diodes. All these circuits will produce delay ON or delay OFF time intervals at the output for a predetermined period, from a few seconds to many minutes. All the designs are fully adjustable. Importance of […]
Simple Voltage-to-Current and Current-to-Voltage Techniques – By James H. Reinholm
There are many types of voltage-to-current and current-to-voltage converter circuits, and most of them use a combination of opamps and transistors to achieve a high level of accuracy. But when high accuracy isn’t necessary, a simple converter of this type can be made using just one or two resistors. Resistor as Voltage to Current Converter […]
