Simple Colpitts Oscillator Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained how LC oscillator circuits functions and we will be constructing one of the popular LC based oscillator – Colpitts oscillator. What are Oscillators Electronic oscillators are used in most of our daily used electronic gadgets ranging from digital clock to high end core i7 processor. Oscillators are heart of […]
BJT Emitter-Follower – Working, Application Circuits
In this post I have explained how to use a transistor emitter follower configuration in practical electronic circuits, we study this through a few different example application circuits. An emitter follower is one of the standard transistor configurations which is also referred to as common collector transistor configuration. Let’s try to first understand what’s an […]
2 Simple Arduino Temperature Meter Circuits Explored
In this article, I will show how to construct a couple of easy Arduino temperature meter circuits which can be also used as a LED room thermometer circuit. The circuit is designed to display the readings in doted/bar LEDs. This project can be implemented for applications where ambient temperature plays a crucial role or it […]
Temperature Controlled DC Fan Circuits
Have you ever turned up your amplifier all the way, either at a party or just for fun? You may have noticed that “it gets hot” and thought that a fan would be useful. However, at low listening levels, you can hear the fan running. With this circuit, the fan will be automatically controlled by […]
