In this post I will show how to construct a stopwatch which automatically starts timer when the runner begins to run and the timer stops when the runner reaches the end. The elapsed time between starting and ending point is displayed on a 16 x 2 LCD. First let’s begin by learning how to configure […]

How to Use Resistors with LED, Zener and Transistor
In this post I have explained how to use resistors while designing an electronic circuits using LEDs, zener diodes, or transistors. This article can be very useful for the new hobbyists who normally get confused with the resistor values to be used for a specific component and for the desired application. What is a Resistor […]
How to Make a Barcode Security Lock Circuit
A simple barcode security lock circuit or barcode scanner circuit is explained in the following article using just a handful of ordinary components such as an op amp, an LDR and an laser light. We all have seen and are familiar with these arrays of thick and thin lines which can be seen printed on […]
Super Capacitor Charger Theory and Working
In this post I have explained a super capacitor charger circuit for charging super capacitors which converts a 12V car battery voltage to an elevated 16V for charging a bank of super capacitors. The idea was requested by Miariver. Super Capacitor for Peak Power Compensation First thanks for keep publishing this blog is very helpful, […]
10 Simple LED Chaser Circuit Diagrams Explained [Knight Rider, Scanner, Reverse-Forward, Cascaded]
In this article I have explained the construction of 10 interesting yet simple LED chaser circuits, which not only create beautiful running light effect but are also easy to build. We also discuss how to modify these into a design popularly known as “knight rider” chaser circuit. These primarily incorporate LEDs as well as mains […]
5 Simple Alarm Circuits for Protecting your Home/Office from Theft
The following article discusses a few very simple intrusion detector circuits, or ant-theft alarms. The presented designs are easy to build yet extremely effective with the functions. How the Circuits Works An intruder alarm basically consists of a sensor and a trigger stages, which work together to produce the required detection. The sensor detects the presence […]
