IC 555 LED Circuits (Blinking, Flashing, Fading Effect)
In this post I have explained how to assemble IC 555 for generating interesting LED circuits with blinking, flashing and fading light effects with some minor modification and enhancements. Why use an IC 555 Astable The astable multivibrator mode is the most fundamental mode of operation of the IC 555. In this mode it basically […]
3 Glittering LED Christmas Tree Light Circuits Explored
In this post we present 3 circuit ideas for creating beautiful Christmas tree light decorations. The first idea explains a transistorized flashing blinking LED string light which can be mounted on a Christmas tree. The second circuit diagram describes an LED light effect generator which can be also installed over a real Christmas tree for […]
How to Make IC LM339 Circuits
The IC LM 339 is primarily created to compare two input voltages and generate a corresponding output. Having said that, before we try to learn regarding the various LM339 based circuits, it would be important to go through the standard features of the LM339. It is basically a quad comparator IC, meaning we can find […]
2 Simple RF Detector Circuits Explored
In this article I have explained a couple of very easy to build RF detector circuits, which can be used to sense or detect or sorts of Rf electrical noise that may be floating in the surrounding atmosphere. What is RF RF stands for radio frequency, which is a kind of electrical interference transmitted in […]
3 Best Joule Thief Circuits
A joule thief circuit is basically an efficient, self-oscillating voltage booster circuit, built using a single transistor, resistor and an inductor, which can boost voltages as low as 0.4 V from any dead AAA 1.5 cell, to much higher levels. Technically it may seem impossible to illuminate a 3.3 V LED with a 1.5V source, […]
