2 Simple Light to Frequency Converter Circuits for Transforming Light into Pulses
In this article we are going to see what is a light to frequency converter circuit, how it works, how to use it in a project, and its specifications. No matter which category you belong to, professional, hobbyist, engineer or student, modular components always reduce half of our headache while designing circuits. They eliminate the […]
2 Simple Arduino Temperature Meter Circuits Explored
In this article, I will show how to construct a couple of easy Arduino temperature meter circuits which can be also used as a LED room thermometer circuit. The circuit is designed to display the readings in doted/bar LEDs. This project can be implemented for applications where ambient temperature plays a crucial role or it […]
5 Simple Motion Detector Circuits using PIR
A PIR motion sensor alarm is a device which detects the infrared radiation from a moving human body and triggers an an audible alarm. In this post I have explained 5 simple motion detector circuits using op amp and transistor. We also discuss the pinout details of the standard passive infrared (PIR) sensor RE200B. We […]
Simple Mobile Phone Detector Circuit [Tested]
A cellphone or mobile phone detector is actually a high gain op amp amplifier which detects slightest of RF disturbance from a mobile phone, and illuminates an LED. Mobile phones today being the major generator of RF interference is easily picked up by this circuit and can be seen through an LED illumination at the […]
Non Contact AC Phase Detector Circuit [Tested]
The circuit discussed in this article is of a non-contact mains AC field detector which displays the presence of a mains AC field from a distance of more an 6 inches. Locating Fault in AC Lines without Physical Contact The circuit can be used for locating faults in house wiring without the need of making […]
