We are happy to share an automatic curtain control circuit kindly provided by Mr. August Peterson. This design helps to open and close curtains by sensing light from the surroundings. It uses an LM393 comparator, a solar panel as a light sensor and a 24V motor. The circuit makes the curtain open in the morning […]

Single Phase Variable Frequency Drive VFD Circuit
In this post I have explained a single phase variable frequency drive circuit or a VFD circuit for controlling AC motor sped without affecting their operational specifications. What is a VFD Motors and other similar inductive loads specifically do not “like” operating with frequencies that might be not within their manufacturing specs, and tend to […]
3 Phase Induction Motor Speed Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained the making of a simple 3 phase induction motor speed controller circuit, which can be also applied for a single phase induction motor or literally for any type of AC motor. When it comes to controlling the speed of induction motors, normally matrix converters are employed, involving many complex […]
3 Phase Brushless (BLDC) Motor Driver Circuit
In this post I have explained how to make a simple 3 phase brushless DC motor driver circuit. The circuit employs the popular IRS2330 3-phase driver IC The presented idea looks simple since most of the technicalities is taken care of efficiently by the IC itself, it’s all about connecting the relevant pinouts with the […]
2 Simple Bidirectional Motor Controller Circuits Explored
A circuit which allows a connected motor to operate in clockwise and anticlockwise directions through alternate input triggers is called a bidirectional controller circuit. The first design below discusses a Full bridge or H bridge based Bidirectional motor controller circuit using the 4 opamps from the IC LM324. In the second article I have explained […]
Automatic Door Controller Circuit Diagram using a Single Push-Button
This door controller circuit works in this way: Initially the door is in the closed state. When a push button is pressed, the door begins opening until it reaches the end of the course. When it reaches the end, it automatically reverses its direction and now the door begins closing. It keeps moving until it […]
