In this post we will understand a current controller and current limiter circuit using the IC LM393 comparator. This circuit is using a low power voltage comparator integrated circuit LM393 and one power Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor, so the idea is simple but the working looks a little deep when we see it […]

How To Use And Program ATmega Microcontrollers From Scratch Without Arduino
ATmega microcontrollers, they are coming from the AVR family which Atmel developed long back, and later this Atmel company was taken by Microchip. So now officially Microchip owns it but still people say Atmel AVR only. These MCUs became very popular slowly because they are easy to understand, quite affordable, stable in long run and […]
EV Wireless Battery Charger Calculator Tool
This calculator helps estimate resonant frequency or compensation capacitor for a wireless EV charging primary coil. It is for first-step design and learning, not final tuning… Calculator by homemade-circuits.com EV Wireless LC Resonance Calculator EV Wireless LC Resonance Calculator Calculate: Resonant Frequency (Hz)Capacitance (µF)Inductance (µH) First Value: Primary Inductance µHCapacitance µFFrequency Hz Second Value: Primary […]
IC 555 Low Battery Indicator Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple low battery indicator circuit using the IC 555 and a few resistors only. Circuit Concept Many electronic circuits such as emergency lights, battery chargers, UPS systems, flashlights etc essentially require a low battery indication feature in order to avoid over discharge of the involved battery. An over discharge could mean a permanent damage […]
Automatic Street Light Dimmer Circuit
In this post I will show how to construct an Arduino automatic street light dimmer circuit, which can reduce its brightness when no vehicle is passing in the road to save power. Overview We will be exploring the methodology of sensing the vehicle or human being without false detection which may occur due to animals […]
