This 220 V ON/OFF electronic relay switch can be toggled ON/OFF simply by alternately bringing your finger close to the reflection sensor CNY70. About CNY70 CNY70 is an infrared reflecting sensor comprised of an infrared emitting diode and a phototransistor housed in a tiny plastic container. The sensor operates by generating infrared light and sensing […]
Sensors and Detectors
Ultrasonic Motion Detector Circuit
This ultrasonic motion detector circuit project picks up movement of any object including human beings from a distance of 4 to 7 meters away. As soon as the motion is detected, the output of the circuit illuminates a red LED indicating the presence of an obstacle or an intruder. However, using supplemental circuit stages connected […]
Mains AC Current Detector Switch Circuit
The circuit I have I have explained in this article allows one to detect the current consumed by a device and to power one or more other devices accordingly. Indeed, the solution of a switchboard is not always applicable because it is often not very practical. Furthermore, some devices such as computers only start when […]
Proximity Detector using Hall Effect Sensor Circuit
This proximity detector circuit uses a Hall effect sensor to detect the approach of a magnetic object, such as a magnet fixed to the frame of a door. The application is simple, but widely used. The use of a Hall effect sensor solves many problems that arise when one wants to detect the opening of […]
Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) Radiation Monitor Circuit
ELF stands for Extremely Low Frequency, which is an electromagnetic radiation generated by most of out household electrical equipment. Regarding the effect and severity of ELF fields on human health, debate remains heated. However, I believe there is enough data for us enthusiasts to adopt a conservative stance on the level of exposure we must […]
How to Make a Ghost Detector Circuit
In this article I have explained to make a simple ghost detector circuit or a paranormal being detector circuit for quickly investigating a possibly infested area. Introduction Do you believe in the existence of ghosts? Well some of you may answer positively while some may just nod their heads showing sheer skepticism regarding the issue. […]
