In this post I have explained how to build a simple yet a realistic model train controller circuit, which can be integrated with the rail tracks of an existing motorized train system and used for controlling its speed, acceleration, deceleration with original effects. How the Circuit Works A schematic diagram for the Train Controller can […]

Wireless DC Motor Speed Control Circuit
In this post I will show how to construct a wireless DC motor speed control circuit which can be controlled using any IR based remote controller. The proposed project has two main objectives; the first one is 5 step sequential speed control of a 12V DC motor using IC 555 (PWM) and controlling the PWM […]
5 Simple DC Motor Speed Controller Circuits Explained
A circuit which enables a user to linearly control the speed of a connected motor by rotating an attached potentiometer is called a motor speed controller circuit. 5 easy to build speed controller circuits for DC motors are presented here, first one using MOSFET IRF540, second one using IC 555, the third concept with IC […]
Simple Ceiling Fan Regulator Circuit
A simple electronic ceiling fan regulator circuit using a triac and a diac is a common type of circuit which is used to control the speed of a ceiling fan. This circuit basically works using phase control principle, in which the voltage supplied to the fan motor is varied by controlling the firing angle of […]
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 […]
Operating a DC Motor Clockwise/Anticlockwise with a Single Switch
The following post discusses the wiring connections for driving a DC motor in clockwise and anticlockwise directions with the help of a single toggle switch and a relay circuit. The idea was requested by one the interested followers of this blog. I have explained more: Technical Specifications We have our project in school. Our professor […]
