We all use remote control handsets for controlling various household devices such as TV, AC, Music systems, curtains etc, and sometimes we seem to have problems with these devices, or even a newly purchased remote controller unit occasionally seem to malfunction, and identifying the issue becomes quite difficult for us. This simple 2 transistor infrared […]
Meters and Testers
Circuit Tester Probe – PCB Fault-Finder
This simple circuit tester probe can be used for detecting short circuits, abnormal resistance conditions, continuity breaks etc inside an assembled circuit board or a PCB. The indication will be through an audible buzzer sound or an LED illumination. The described designs are all extremely safe to use even with PCBs that may have highly […]
Grid Dip Meter Circuit
A dip meter or a grid dip meter can be considered as a kind of frequency meter whose function is to determine the resonant frequency of an LC circuit. For this, the circuits don’t have to ‘radiate’ any waves or frequency across each other. Instead, the procedure is implemented simply by placing the coil of […]

This simple signal injector circuits I have explained below can be accurately used for troubleshooting and alignment applications of all kinds of audio and high frequency equipment. 1) Using a Single IC 7400 One of the extremely handy devices for repairing audio and high frequency instruments is without question a equipment that will give you […]
Digital Thermometer Circuit – Uses a Solar Cell for Power
The articles explains a digital thermometer circuit project that works without a battery. Instead of a battery the circuit utilizes a small solar cell and operates by deriving power from the ambient light available from the surrounding light sources. This allows the circuit to be extremely compact, light weight, versatile and hassle free while measuring […]
