Thunder Lightning Detector Circuit – LED Blinking in Response to Thunder
This simple circuit will enable you to visualize distant thunder lightning through a correspondingly choreographed LED flashes, exactly in accordance with the lightning that may be taking place somewhere in the distant sky, the response will be simultaneous and thus much prior to the sound that may reach your ears after a few seconds. RF […]
AC Phase, Neutral, Earth Fault Indicator Circuit
The circuit explained here will provide LED indications and show if there’s a possible fault in the wiring of your home AC Phase, Neutral, and Earth connections. The idea was requested by Mr. SS kopparthy. Technical Specifications sir, very good morning. I thank you for your help. I further wanted you to consider a circuit […]
Non-Contact Current Sensor Circuit Using Hall-Effect IC
In this article I have explained about a simple non-contact current sensor circuit using a hall effect sensor IC. Why Hall Effect Sensor When it comes to sensing current (Amps) linear Hall-effect devices are the best and the most accurate. These devices can sense and measure current right from a few amps to many thousands. […]
Linear Hall-Effect Sensor – Working and Application Circuit
Linear Hall-effect ICs are magnetic sensor devices designed to respond to magnetic fields to produce a proportionate amount of electrical output. It thus becomes useful for measuring the strength of magnetic fields, and in applications that require an output switched through magnetic triggers. The modern hall effect ICs are designed with immunity to most mechanical […]
Wheel Rotation Detector Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple wheel rotation identifier or detector circuit which can be used for ensuring a continuous rotating movement of a concerned wheel through an LED, photodiode arrangement. The circuit was requested by nzb109. Technical Specifications I want to generate a trigger circuit to detect that a WHEEL is stationary. […]
