In this post I have explained a very simple charging a cell phone from a 1.5v battery utilizing merely a 1.5V as the input source. The source can be any 1.5V cell rated at minimum 1000 mAH. Circuit Operation The circuit description is provided below, let’s try to understand the working principle of the proposed […]
How to Connect 5mm LEDs to a 3.7V Li-Ion Cell
In this article I have explained regarding how to connect and illuminate a few 5mm LEDs using a 3.7V Li-Ion cell, normally used in cell phones. I keep receiving requests from the readers who seem confused with the connection details of 5mm LEds with a 3.7V Li-ion cell. The requests inspired me to write this […]
How to Control Motor with a Cell Phone
In the following post I have explained a very simple circuit idea which can be used for controlling a motor’s rotational direction i.e. for moving it either clockwise or anticlockwise through alternate miss calls from your cell phone. The Circuit Concept I have already discussed a novel cell phone controlled remote switch circuit where the […]
