7 Simple Continuity Tester Circuits Explained
If you are looking for a simple circuit to test continuity of wires and long conductors, the explained 7 easy to build continuity circuits are the ones which you can try and might fulfill your requirement. What is a Continuity Tester A continuity tester is a device which is used for identifying the correct continuity […]
Simple Delay Timer Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained the making of simple delay timers using very ordinary components like transistors, capacitors and diodes. All these circuits will produce delay ON or delay OFF time intervals at the output for a predetermined period, from a few seconds to many minutes. All the designs are fully adjustable. Importance of […]
Simplest Piezo Driver Circuit Explained
In the previous post I explained a piezo transducer element and learned how to use it with electronic circuits. In this article we will see how a piezo tranducer can be driven or operated using a simple circuit. As discussed earlier a piezo transducer basically requires a frequency to vibrate and reproduce the required sound. […]
2 Best Long Duration Timer Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained how to make 2 accurate long duration timer circuits ranging from 4 hours to 40 hours, which can be upgraded further for getting even longer delays. The concepts are fully adjustable. A timer in electronics is essentially a device which is used for producing time delay intervals for switching […]
Transformerless Current-Controlled LED Bulb Circuits you can Build at Home
In this post I have elaborately explained how to build simple transformerless LED bulb circuits using many LEDs in series and powering them through current controlled capacitive power supply circuit. Warning: Circuits I have explained below are not isolated from mains AC, and therefore are extremely dangerous to touch in the powered and open condition. […]
