Over Voltage Protection for Automotive Load Dump
In this post I have explained an over voltage cut-off protection circuit in the form of automotive dump load for protecting sensitive and sophisticated modern automotive electronics from transient DC electrical spikes emanating in vehicle electrical. Transient bus voltages are a significant risk factor to integrated circuits. The maximum breakdown voltage that an integrated circuit […]
Using Single Switch for Fog lamp and DRL Lamp
In this post I have explained an easy method of upgrading your existing car fog lamp switch such that it allows toggling both the fog lamp as well as the DRL lamps alternately, as per the owner’s requirement. The idea was requested by mk karthick. Circuit Objectives Am looking for a circuit which is directly connected […]
Motorcycle Button Start Locking Circuit
In this post I have explained how to modify an existing button start system in motorcycles so that it’s disabled as soon as the engine has started and gained the required minimum amount of RPM. The idea was requested by Mr. Jordan Circuit Requirements I just discovered your splendid site/blog with focus on education about […]
Ultrasonic Fuel Level Indicator Circuit
An electronic device or circuit which detects and indicates the various fuel levels in a fuel tank without a physical contact, through ultrasonic waves, is called an ultrasonic fuel level sensor In this post I have explained how to build a simple fuel tank level indicator circuit using Arduino and ultrasonic sensors. In every vehicle […]
Ice Warning Circuit for Automobiles
Devices that react to variations in atmosphere or fluid heat are simple to construct due to the easy availability of thermistors. This car ice warning circuit explains how to implement a thermistor like a transducer in a circuit that continuously blinks a warning lamp as soon as the atmospheric temperature drops to around 0 °C.
