The post describes a simple 220V mains transformerless LED candle light circuit which switches ON automatically in the absence of ambient light in the room and vice versa. The idea was requested by Mr. Don Technical Specifications I only dabble with electronics here and there but in trying to move from incandescent and CFL’s to […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
LED Star Circuit
This circuit can be used like a tree ornament, however the LED star circuit explained here has a variation; it’s completely electronic and it provides the impression of an exploding and imploding 6 arm star. A block diagram of the circuit can be seen in the Fig. 1 below, configured using 3 components: oscillator, counter, […]
Zero Drop LDO Solar Charger Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple low dropout LDO, or zero drop solar charger circuit without microcontroller which can be modified in many different ways as per user preference. The circuit does not depend on microcontroller and can be built even by a layman. What is a Zero Drop Charger A zero drop […]
Clipper and Clamper Circuits Explained
In this post I am going to explain clipper and clamper circuits. The clipper and clamper are called wave shaping circuits because they convert the incoming signal wave to another kind of useful wave. They are used widely in power supplies, filter circuits, RF transmitters / receivers, voltage suppressors, audio amplifiers and the list goes […]
Stud Finder Circuit – Find Hidden Metals Inside Walls
A stud finder is an electronic device specially created for scanning concrete walls and locating metallic objects, such as nails, bolts, pipes, hidden beneath the wall. In the following post I have explained a very simple two-transistor metal detector that you can assemble in an afternoon or two and have fun with using for hours […]
Vehicle Body Metal Detector Circuit
The main objective we are trying to achieve with this vehicle body metal detector is that only an automobile can trigger the opening of the gate. The solution involving the interruption of a light beam is not suitable, so we turned to a metal detector, as metal is a primary material in any automobile. In […]
