In this post I have explained a simple fused or blown car brake light indicator circuit using a single IC 555 and a few other passive components. The idea was requested by Mr. Joel Bayongasan Technical Specifications You innovations are great! Thanks for this blog. May I request something please? I was searching for a […]

Adjustable CDI Spark Advance/Retard Circuit
In this post we’ll learn about a simple circuit which allows a manual adjust feature for the spark timing of a motorcycle’s CDI either to achieve an advance ignition, retarded ignition or simply a normal timed ignitions. After a comprehensive study regarding the subject I was apparently successful in designing this circuit which can be […]
Automobile Engine RPM Servicing Meter Circuit (Analogue Tachometer Circuits)
These useful lightweight, cheap, analogue tachometer circuits are developed for facilitating car or auto servicing mechanics for precisely adjusting a car ignition system RPM to get maximum efficiency from it. The proposed circuits are actually combined results of a tachometer and a dwell meter. Application The car RPM servicing meter circuit can be applied for […]
Electronic 12V DC Capacitive Discharge Ignition (CDI) Circuits
In the following post I have explained a simple yet enhanced 12V capacitive discharge ignition system which derives its operating voltage from the battery instead of the alternator for generating the igniting sparks. Since it works independently from the alternator voltage, without depending on a pickup coil signal, it is able to function more efficiently […]
Simple Electronic Fuse Circuit
In this article we investigate a electronic circuit design which works like a conventional fuse for safeguarding any electrical system from overloads, over-current, short circuit and related fire hazards. However, the main advantage of this electronic fuse is that it does not require frequent replacements like mechanical fuses, instead it can be reset with a […]
Bluetooth Car Ignition Lock Circuit – Keyless Car Protection
This circuit will allow the user to lock his car ignition using his phone Bluetooth, meaning the ignition can be locked/unlocked only through a specific code from the user’s cellphone Bluetooth. Overview In one of my earlier posts I have already explained how to hack a Bluetooth headset and use it for any desired switching […]
