The CD4541B is a CMOS programmable timer IC, and we use it where long delay interval is needed for a load, and also for jobs like frequency division, or timing pulse work. And all this happens with only just a few outside parts, not much around it. With ordinary IC 555, when delay becomes too […]

Arduino 2-Step Programmable Timer Circuit
In this article I have explained how to make a simple 2-step Arduino programmable timer circuit, which can be used to switch an electrical load ON/OFF with independently adjustable ON and OFF timings. For example if you want a light to remain ON for 24 hours and OFF for 2 hours, you can simply do […]
LCD 220V Mains Timer Circuit – Plug and Play Timer
In this post we are going to make an LCD 220 V mains operated timer using Arduino whose countdown time can be witnessed via 16 x 2 LCD display. Introduction The proposed LCD timer circuit is general purpose timer with display and few buttons for setting the time. Once the time is set output goes […]
Programmable 35238-MP Timer Module? How to Use it
So this 35238-MP Multi-Function Timer module is an digital adjustable programmable timer which we can use it for doing time-based automation things. Inside it, there is a microprocessor that watches time very closely and makes the relay turn ON or OFF after a set time. So this thing is good when we want to turn […]
How to Connect 5V Single Channel Relay Module
In this post we are talking about this handy little gadget called a 5V single-channel relay module. It is super useful for our microcontroller projects whether we are using Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or even the ESP8266/ESP32. Let us break it down together, what it is, how it works, and how we can connect it. Understanding […]
2 Simple School Bell Timer Circuits Explained
In this article I have explained two very useful school bell timer circuits which can be used for ringing school bell automatically for each period as per the set time duration. The first circuit is designed using a handful of IC 4060, and the second circuit concept is configured around the IC 4017. I have […]
