In this post I have explained how to make a 0.6V to 6V or 12V boost converter circuit using a single chip MC74VHC1G14, which uses under 1V to operate. About the IC MC74VHC1G14 Normally, we all know that a silicon transistor would find it difficult functioning below 0.7V, unlike germanium counterparts which are capable of doing it […]

Simplest 100 Watt LED Bulb Circuit
In this article I have explained a very simple 100 watt LED bulb circuit using a few high voltage capacitors. The entire circuit could be built at a cost less than $25. I have already discussed many capacitive type of transformerless power supply circuits in this blog, however all these suffers from a couple of […]
Fading an LED ON/OFF – Arduino Basics
In this post I have explained a basic Arduino function where I have explained the process of fading an LED ON/OFF through some basic code implementations. Creating a Fading Effect We see how to use an analogwrite() function in order to implement a fading ON/OFF of an LED. The function incorporates PWM pulses across a […]
How to Drive High Watt LEDs with Arduino
In this post I have explained the method of incorporating high watt LEDs with Arduino through external high voltage supplies. The question was put forth by Mr. Cole. The Circuit Question I stumbled upon your blog and I love it! So much great information and great ideas Right now I am trying to figure out […]
Arduino Random RGB Light Generator Circuit
The article discusses a simple,Arduino red, green, blue LED light effect generator circuit in a random pattern. In one of the earlier posts we came across a similar RGB LED effect generator circuit using Arduino which was programmed to produce the effect in a flowing sequential manner, whereas here the set up can be expected […]
Simple LED Tubelight Circuit
An LED tube-light is lighting device built using high efficiency LEDs for illuminating a premise where it is installed, through the available AC mains supply. In this post I have explained the complete construction details of a simple LED light tube light circuit using 20 mA, 5 mm high bright white LEDs. The circuit can […]
