Car Turn Signal Flasher Circuit with Lamp Malfunction Indicator
In this post I have explained an automotive/car turn signal indicator circuit idea with a built-in load malfunction indicator, meaning an additional LED lamp fitted on the dashboard which would warn if any of the side indicators went bad or fused. The idea was researched and requested by Mr. Abu-Hafss. The Circuit Concept I have found a transistor-based flasher including a […]
2-Pin Motorcycle Turn Signal Flasher Indicator Circuit with Buzzer
A simple construction procedure of a motorcycle electronic 2 pin turn signal indicator with beeper circuit has been thoroughly I have explained in this article. Normally, the electro-mechanical types of turn signal indicators are not reliable due to low consistency and vulnerability to changing weather conditions. The present design easily withstands the above parameters and […]
