A traffic light controller circuit can be used for controlling the sequential illumination of the RED, ORANGE and GREEN traffic signal lamps, by maintaining appropriate delays between the illumination sequence. In real traffic signal light system we all have seen how the red, orange and green lamps switch ON/OFF in sequence with specific amount of […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Infrared Car Door Lock Security Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a simple yet foolproof infrared based remote control, which can be used for locking and unlocking any vehicle door through a personal remote handset. The remote controlled vehicle door lock is foolproof since it works only with a specific IR frequency range, and will not respond […]
Car Reverse Horn Circuit
A crucial safety element in cars is the reverse horn, sometimes referred to as the reverse warning device or backup alarm, which emits an auditory signal while the automobile is in reverse. The reverse horn, which is intended to improve pedestrian and occupant safety, generates a unique sound to alert others around that the vehicle […]
Vehicle Immobilizer Circuit Explained
If you own a car and still haven’t incorporated any security system in it or perhaps your old security system is out of order, you can quickly opt for a cheap yet effective security option for your car or any vehicle by installing the proposed circuit. It will cost you not more than a dollar. […]
Electronic 12V DC Capacitive Discharge Ignition (CDI) Circuits
In the following post I have explained a simple yet enhanced 12V capacitive discharge ignition system which derives its operating voltage from the battery instead of the alternator for generating the igniting sparks. Since it works independently from the alternator voltage, without depending on a pickup coil signal, it is able to function more efficiently […]
High Voltage, High Current DC Regulator Circuit
We all are pretty familiar with the 78XX voltage regulator ICs or the adjustable types such as LM317, LM338 etc. Though these regulators are outstanding with their specified functioning and reliability, these regulators have one big disadvantage…. they won’t control anything above 35V. Circuit Operation The circuit presented in the following article introduces a DC […]
