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 Make Ultrasonic Remote Control Circuit
This ultrasonic remote control circuit can be used to switch and control any appliance ON/OFF through a relay in the receiver circuit. Written by: S.S. Kopparthy Using Ultrasonic Waves This circuit is a different one that uses ultrasonic sound waves whose frequency ranges from 40 KHz to 50 KHz. These waves can’t be heard by […]
Simple RF Remote Control Circuit without Microcontroller
In this article I have explained how to make a simple RF remote control circuit using ready-made RF 433MHz and 315MHZ RF modules, and without incorporating microcontroler ICs. With the easy availability of RF modules today making an RF remote control has become a childs play. It’s all about procuring the RF modules ready made […]
Cellphone Display Light Triggered Remote Control Circuit
In this post I have explained a cell phone remote control circuit using the light from its display. The idea was requested by Dondon. Technical Specifications I need a circuit similar to the circuit above but I will use the LED of mobile phone as light source so I can turn ON and OFF the […]
RC Helicopter Remote Control Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple RC helicopter remote control circuit using 433kHz RF modules, without any microcontroller or complex joystick implementations. The idea was requested by Mr. Jitendra. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I am making a large scale RC helicopter. In which I am using 4 motors. For 1st main 12v motor: […]
Infrared (IR) Motor Remote Control Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple infrared (IR) remote control circuit which is configured for operating a DC motor in response to the switching made from a standard IR remote handset such as a TV remote or a DVD remote. The connected motor can be moved either ways and also can be made to halt. […]
