In this article I have explained a couple of circuits that will allow automatic watering of plants and flower pots, even while the owner of the house is away from home, and the house is locked for many days. The first method is through a sound activated system which detects the sound from a cellphone […]
Timer and Delay Relay
Adjustable Timer Circuit Using IC 555
IC 555 adjustable timer explained here can be adjusted from any time delay 1 second to 3 hours for operating any load through a relay control The produced time delay is fully adjustable and the user has the freedom to set the time period as desired. There are many ways of making simple timer circuits […]
Simple Digital Timer Circuit with 2 Digit Display
This simple digital timer circuit can be used to obtain timing output through selectable ranges, which can be set from 0 to 99 second, with 1 second interval, 0 to 990 seconds with 10 second interval, and 0 to 99 minutes with 1 minute interval. All these timing outputs can be visualized and tracked through […]
Make this Drag Race Timer Circuit
In this post we are going to build a drag race timer circuit using a 7 segment display and commonly available discrete components which can measure the time taken for a car or any other vehicle from start line to finish line. The proposed circuit is fully automatic, meaning it can start and stop the […]
Single Mosfet Timer Circuit
The following article discusses the use of a mosfet as a switch for toggling high current loads efficiently. The circuit can be also transformed into a delay OFF circuit with simple modifications. The design was requested by Mr.Roderel Masibay. Comparing Mosfet with BJT A field effect transistor or mosfet can be compared with a bjt […]
Input Trigger Synchronized Monostable Timer Using IC 555
Here we study a simple IC 555 based monostable circuit whose output monostable time duration starts only after the input trigger is released thus making sure that the trigger ON time duration is added with the monostable’s pre-programmed ON time duration. The idea was requested by Mr. John Brogan Technical Specifications I would like to […]
