In this post we study a simple water heater timer controller circuit which can be used in bathrooms for automatically switching OFF a geyser or a water heater unit after a predetermined time period as preferred by the user. The idea was requested by Mr. Andreas Technical Specifications Many of us when we need hot […]

Remote Controlled Trolley Circuit without Microcontroller
In this post I have explained how to make a cheap yet powerful remote controlled trolley which can be maneuvered left, right, forward and reverse as required, by the user using the given remote handset. The idea does not rely on an microcontroller circuit. In one of my previous posts I discussed about a simple […]
Make this DC CDI Circuit for Motorcycles
The circuit presented here is for a DC-CDI which are used in motorcycles. A DC-CDI is the one in which the high voltage (200-400VDC) is converted from 12V supply voltage. Researched and Submitted by: Abu-Hafss Studying the circuit, we see that it has two parts i.e. the CDI unit, enclosed in the pink box and […]
Microwave Sensor or a Doppler Sensor Circuit
In this article we study the microwave sensor IC KMY 24 and try to understand its main features and its pinout implementation details. How Doppler Sensor KMY24 Works The KMY24 microwave sensor module is designed and built on the concept of Doppler effect. When correctly configured it radiates a low power microwave signal of around […]
Blinking 3 LEDs (R,G,B) Sequentially Using Arduino Circuit
In this post I have explained how to run or blink three LEDs in sequence using Arduino. The post was written and submitted by: Jack Franko PROGRAM/* make RGB LEDs to blink in series one by one at intervalof 1000MS */ int R = 12;int G = 11;int B = 10;void setup(){ pinMode(R,OUTPUT); pinMode(G,OUTPUT); pinMode(B,OUTPUT);}void […]
Light Activated Water Level Controller Circuit
The light activated water level controller circuit explained here has the advantage of being corrosion free and much reliable than the traditional moisture sensor type of water sensors. Circuit Operation One slight downside of this LDR based sensor is that the tank interior always needs to be illuminated by some kind of light source such […]
