2 Simple Infrared (IR) Remote Control Circuits
The proposed infrared or IR remote control circuit can be used to operate an appliance ON/OFF through any standard TV remote control handset. In this write up I have explained a couple of these simple infrared remote control circuits designed for controlling any given electrical appliance through an ordinary or TV remote control unit. Introduction […]
12V Battery Charger Circuits [using LM317, LM338, L200, Transistors]
In this article I will be discussing a list of simple 12V battery charger circuits which are very easy and cheap by its design yet extremely accurate with its output voltage and current specs. All the designs presented here are current controlled meaning their outputs will never go beyond a predetermined fixed current level. UPDATE: […]
How to Configure Resistors, Capacitors and Transistors in Electronic Circuits
In this post we try to evaluate how to configure or connect electronic components such as resistors, capacitors withing electronic circuits through correct calculation Kindly read my previous post regarding what is voltage and current, in order to grasp the below explained basic electronic facts more effectively. What is a Resistor – It is an […]
9 Simple Metal Detector Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained 9 simple metal detector circuits using LC tuned concept, magnetic absorption concept, and the beat frequency oscillator (BFO) concept. The BFO technique is considered to be the most accurate and reliable methods of detecting metals. 1) Metal Detector Circuit Using a Single UJT The first metal detector circuit shown […]
3 Simple Frequency Counter Circuits Discussed
In this post we are going learn how to construct 3 different frequency counter circuits using ordinary components and ICs which will showcase the measured frequency on 7 segment displays. The first circuit which uses 4026 ICs can measure frequencies up to 1 MHz and the circuit is user calibrated. We will Learn About: Block […]
