In this article I have explained how to connect and use the TTP223 capacitive touch switch module. These modules work using 2.5V to 5V. They are all pre-debounced, all you need is to provide the DC supply across the VC and GND terminals, and you get an output in the middle. So it is really […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Day/Night Triggered Automatic Door Lock Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple day, night triggered automatic door lock circuit, which can be used for autonomously unlocking a kennel door during day break, and locking it when night sets in. The idea was requested by an avid reader of this blog, Mr. Norman, as given below. Design Request and Specifications […]
Flashlight Activated Burglar Alarm Circuit
This flashlight triggered burglar alarm circuit will instantly switch ON an alarm as soon as it detects light from the burglar’s torch or flashlight. Burglars and thieves normally set out to steal or rob during nights, when it is completely dark, and depend on a flashlight to investigate the area. Our circuit is setup and […]
Mains High Low Voltage Protection Circuit with Delay Monitor
In this post I have explained an upgraded version of my previous mains 220V/120V high-low voltage cut off protection circuit which now includes a delayed restoration of power for the load with 3 LED power status indicators. The idea was requested by one of the dedicated members of this website. Circuit Objectives and Requirements Main […]
Simple LDR Motion Detector Alarm Circuit
Here I have explained how to build a simple LDR based motion detector sensor circuit using ordinary parts such as LDRs and opamps, reasonably accurately. What are Motion Detectors Motion detector or sensor alarm is a device which detects the presence of a motion or movement within a certain fixed range and raises an alarm […]
Induction Heater Circuit Using IGBT (Tested)
In this post I will comprehensively discuss how to build a high power 1000 watt induction heater circuit using IGBTs which are considered to be the most versatile and powerful switching devices, even superior to mosfets. Induction Heater Working Principle The principle on which induction heating works is very simple to understand. A magnetic field […]
