This project I will explain how we can control a relay remotely using a SIM card and a normal mobile phone, with help of Arduino and a GSM module. The relay can be turned ON or OFF by sending an SMS or by making a phone call to the SIM card placed inside the GSM […]

Simple Triac Phase Control Circuits Explored
In a triac phase control circuit, the triac is triggered ON only for specific portions of the AC half cycles, causing the load to operate only for that period of the AC waveform. This results in a controlled supply of power to the load. Triacs are popularly used as a solid-state replacement of relay for […]
How To Use Triac For AC Power Control
Here we are talking about controlling things like lamps, motors, heaters, and other similar electrical loads. The devices we use for this purpose are called thyristor and triac, OK? Both these devices, thyristor and triac, they can actually do this job like simple switch ON/OFF or they can also adjust the power given to these […]
Incubator Using Arduino with Automatic Temperature and Humidity control
In this post I will show how to construct an incubator using Arduino which can self-regulate its temperature and humidity. This project was suggested by Mr. Imran yousaf who is an avid reader of this website. Introduction This project was designed as per the suggestions from Mr. Imran, but some additional modification is done to […]
Touch Volume Control Circuit
This touch volume control circuit has two touch pads which enable the user to increase or decrease the volume of an audio amplifier simply by touching the relevant touch pads. The advantages of this solid-state volume control are: very long life due to the absence of any wear and tear, quick and easy finger touch […]
Simple Tone Control Circuits
Tone control circuits are basically filter circuits which are used to filter audio frequency signals so that only the desired range of frequencies are allowed to pass to the amplifier and the loudspeakers. This enables the listener to customize the music output with either a high level of low frequency content through bass boost, or […]
