Hi Friends, I am Swagatam. Most readers know me through homemade-circuits.com, a website I started in 2011 to share practical electronics knowledge with hobbyists, students, and working engineers.
Some people also know me by the name Swag, Swagat, Sagar…

I completed my electronics studies at DIPIETE in 1994 and since then I have spent decades working hands-on with electronic circuits, learning how they actually behave beyond textbooks, you only learn that by doing.
About homemade-circuits.com
I started homemade-circuits.com with a simple goal, to make electronics concepts easy to understand and genuinely useful for people who want to learn and build circuits themselves.
Before this site, I worked as an electronic circuit content writer at Brighthub. Then in the year 2013, I started the site homemade-circuits.com.
How This Site Is Different
On homemade-circuits, I personally read and reply to comments. Over the years, I have answered more than 50,000 circuit-related questions, helping readers troubleshoot problems and improve circuit designs, step by step.
Many circuits published here get refined through these discussions, becoming more reliable and practical over time.
A Bit More About Me
Outside electronics, I am an animal lover. I have rescued dogs, cats, and birds, and one long-term goal is to build a shelter for injured and abandoned animals, still working towards that.

I have a heating element out of an old dishwasher that I would like to heat rainwater with and to keep it at a constant 40 to 45 degree to prevent freezing. Is this possible and do you have a circuit I could build on hand. Thank you from a retired newbi.
Can you please post this question under a relevant “temperature controller” article, i will try to solve it for you…
Ok I will try that one for you.
