In this post I have explained an LED controller circuit having a boost and dimming facility specifically designed for underwater shooting application. The idea was requested by Mr. Svein. The Circuit Request I came across your blog at https://www.homemade-circuits.com and thought I’d ask you a question regarding building or modifying a LED driver. I planning […]
Newly Updated Circuit Projects:
Power Switch ON Alarm with Auto OFF Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple monostable based power switch ON alarm circuit which automatically switches OFF after an adjustable preset delay. The idea was requested by Mr. Will Boswell. Technical Specifications Hi there, my name is Will Boswell. I am currently working on a project that involves adding an alarm sounder to […]
Model Locomotive Infrared Controller Circuit
In this article I have explained a model locomotive controller circuit using uniquely set IR beams for different locomotives allowing unique identification signals and controls for the engines. The idea was requested by Mr. Henrik. Technical Specifications Thank you very much for all your circuits / schematics. I will for sure build many of them. […]
Self Optimizing Solar Battery Charger Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple IC 555 based self optimizing solar battery charger circuit with buck converter circuit that automatically sets and adjusts the charging voltage in response to the fading sunlight conditions, and tries to maintain an optimal charging power for the battery, regardless of the sun ray intensities. Using a […]
Tuned Infrared (IR) Detector Circuit
The article is a continuation of the earlier post where we tried to find a solution for creating unique infrared IDs for trains in a model locomotive system. Here I have explained the application in detail and learn how it may be possible to successfully implement the idea using tuned IR detector circuits. The idea […]
Cyclist’s Safety Light Circuit – Nighttime Visibility for Cyclists, Walkers, Joggers
A simple flashing bicycle safety light circuit has been discussed in the following article In many occasions when we happen to go down the road at night, it is normal to meet cyclists that are visible only when they might be within walking distance. In case you’re a bike aficionado and prefer to stroll in […]
