In one of my electric fence charger articles, one reader asked me something interesting. He wanted to know whether a buzzer could be made to sound whenever an animal touches the fence. At first I was thinking about a current sensing method because that looks like the obvious way. But after looking at how electric […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Controlling LED Strip Light ON/OFF and Brightness with any Remote Control
In this post I will show how to construct LED strip controller circuit using Arduino, which can turn ON/OFF and decrease/increase brightness of LEDs using ordinary IR (Infrared) remote. What is LED Strip Light? (For noobs) If you are not familiar with LED strip lights, let’s understand what it is. LED strips (sometimes called as […]
Simple AM Radio Receiver using IC TA7642
We see this radio circuit is very basic, not too many parts, but still it works. This circuit shows how a full MW radio can be made with very few parts. The main part is TA7642 which already has RF amplifier, detector, AGC inside, so we do not need to build all that outside. Main […]
How to Upgrade EGS002 Inverter to 5kVA Level
In this article I will explain how to upgrade an EGS002 inverter board to 5kVA power level using the HCPL-3120 or HCPL-J312 opto isolated drivers with isolated inputs and isolated power supply stages. However, the low side MOSFETs are driven through ordinary BJT totem pole configuration such as by using BD139 and BD140 transistor pairs. […]
How to Make Any Light a Strobe Light Using Just Two Transistors
If you feel strobe lights very interesting but are disappointed by the fact that these wonderful light effects can be produced only through complex xenon tube then probably you are quite mistaken. It is very much possible to make any light a strobe light if you are equipped with a proper driving circuit capable of […]
3 Glittering LED Christmas Tree Light Circuits Explored
In this post we present 3 circuit ideas for creating beautiful Christmas tree light decorations. The first idea explains a transistorized flashing blinking LED string light which can be mounted on a Christmas tree. The second circuit diagram describes an LED light effect generator which can be also installed over a real Christmas tree for […]
