In this article I have explained a VLF receiver circuit used for detecting insect wing beat signals, the idea was investigated and built by Mr. Steven Chiverton. Insect Wing Triggered ELF An incredibly fascinating electrical outcome successfully identified with the VLF are wing sounds triggered when bugs like bees, flies, and mosquitoes fly within a […]

LPG Leakage SMS Alert using MQ-135 – Get Warning Message in your Cellphone
In this article I will show how to construct an GSM based LPG leakage SMS alert circuit using Arduino, which alerts the recipient via SMS and surrounding people via beep, when LPG gas leaks out from the LPG cylinder or if there’s leakage due to improperly closed valve. Using MQ-135 as the Sensor We are […]
MQ-135 Air Quality Sensor Circuit – Working and Interfacing with Program Code
In this article I have explained how to interface air quality sensor MQ-135 with Arduino. We will see overview of the sensor and construct a project which detects LPG gas leakage and see some relevant readings in serial monitor. What is MQ-135 sensor? MQ-135 is an air quality or air pollution measuring sensor device. It […]
Using TSOP17XX Sensors with Customized Frequencies
The TSOP17XX series ICs are special infrared sensor devices built for responding to specific range of infrared frequencies and convert it into an electrical pulsed output. It thus features a foolproof immunity to other forms of IR signals. Due to this specific center or band-pass operating frequency of a TSOP17XX, it becomes difficult to use […]
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 […]
Clap Operated Toy Car Circuit
In this post we study how to make a simple clap operated toy car circuit using a clap switch circuit and a MIC amplifier, to control its forward and reverse movements, in response to the claps of the user. The idea was requested by Mr, Zeeshan. This clap operated toy car is will move in […]
