Simple LED Chaser Circuit using IC 555 and IC 4017
Though the more complex lighting might need the incorporation of microcontroller ICs, simpler yet very interesting light effects can be generated through ordinary ICs like IC 4017 and IC 555 as shown below. This is our first LED chaser design which requires very few components for the configuration. (The 100K pot can be adjusted to […]
Make this DIY Spot Welding Machine using MOT and IC 555
Building a spot welding machine at home, it does not really need those complex SMPS circuits or costly stuff, nope. Instead a much simpler way is there, which people use, and it works quite well. We can use a microwave oven transformer, that MOT, and then add a small timing circuit with it, so now […]
A4988 Motor Driver Circuit Diagram with IC 555
In this article we now talk about a very simple but very useful stepper motor controller that uses one A4988 driver module and one 555 astable pulse generator. Overview Of The Circuit So we first see the main building blocks. We have one A4988 module that drives any small 2 phase stepper motor. We also […]
True MPPT Solar Controller Circuit using IC 555
Are you wondering if it was possible to build a very simple MPPT circuit using ordinary parts like IC 555 and IC 741, which would work most efficiently imitating a true MPPT? The answer is yes, it is possible, and we will learn about it details, in the following article. In this design I used […]
