Heatsinking is critical for power devices in circuits that are intended to maximize their performance. When heat from the power devices cannot be moved away very quickly, the power devices and its operating elements could be damaged. You may calculate how hot your semiconductors could become while operating, using a couple of easy formulas. Using formulas gets rid of guesswork and […]

How to Modify a Transformer
Commonly, the perfect transformer might not be readily accessible for purchase, or if it is available, it can be costly. Nonetheless, there is a possibility of modifying the transformer’s secondary winding, especially when producing small voltage and current outputs. This approach can provide a highly cost-effective solution for creating a customized power supply. Transformer Power […]
Insect Light Trap Circuit for Protecting Crops
This solar LED light trap circuit for insects can be used to attract insects at night and keep them engaged with the light source. This distraction created by the LED light will keep the insects from flying towards the crops and save the crops from these harmful pests. The circuit design was requested by Mr. […]
How to Connect and Use RCWL-0516 Microwave Motion Sensor
In this article I will comprehensively explain about the RCWL-0516 a microwave proximity motion sensor which uses Doppler radar. Here, I will elucidate the following points: What is RCWL-0516 It is yet another type of proximity motion sensor which can detect if someone has entered into an area, and raise an alarm or take an […]
3 Tested 220V High and Low Voltage Cut OFF Circuits Using IC LM324 and Transistors
An AC mains high/low cut-off device will cut off or disconnect the mains supply from home electrical whenever a high voltage or low voltage situation is detected. In this way it ensures total safety to the home wiring and appliances from fire hazards, due to abnormal over voltages, brown outs or low voltages. In this […]
Aquarium Fish Feeder Timer Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained an aquarium feeder timer circuit which sustains a set of continuous operations as per a predetermined timing sequence through the respective pot controls. The idea was requested by Mr. Mike. Technical Specifications I am trying to build a timer circuit to control an automatic fish feeder. It needs to […]
