The following triac/diac based mains operated LED flasher circuit which is actually an astable multivibrator circuit utilizes only a diac and resistor arrangement for implementing interesting wig wag flashing of two LEDs. The simple 220V flasher circuit was shared with me by Mr.Vineesh, who is one of the keen followers of this blog. I would […]

Learn how easy it is to build a LED wig wag string light flasher using just a couple of transistors and few other passive components. LED Flashing String Lights for Decorating Homes A LED flasher schematic has also […]
Introduction to I2C LCD Adapter Module
In this post we are going take a look at “I2C” or “IIC” or “I square C” based LCD adapter module, which will reduce wire connections between Arduino and LCD display to just 2 wires, also saving tons of GPIO pins for other sensors / drives etc. Before I have explained about I2C LCD adapter […]
SCR/Thyristor Circuit Configurations
Now in this article we will try to understand step by step how we can use this thyristor in practical work. That can be for controlling heavy loads like electric lamps, heaters, or motors and so on. So this part is more about real application and not only about theory. How We Trigger The Thyristor […]
Understanding Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs)
If we look at the diodes, their internal construction look very simple. They are made by joining two pieces of semiconductor material, and this is called a pn-junction. But when we talk about bipolar junction transistor or bjt, then things get little more complicated. It needs adding one more layer of semiconductor material, and that […]
