In this article I have explained a few simple infrared TV remote controlled fan regulator or dimmer circuits using ordinary parts such as a 4017 IC and a 555 IC. The first concept uses a standard MOSFET based SSR for controlling the fan load and for easy and clean PWM signal operation from the IC […]

Transformerless Current-Controlled LED Bulb Circuits you can Build at Home
In this post I have elaborately explained how to build simple transformerless LED bulb circuits using many LEDs in series and powering them through current controlled capacitive power supply circuit. Warning: Circuits I have explained below are not isolated from mains AC, and therefore are extremely dangerous to touch in the powered and open condition. […]
Mobile Phone Controlled Robot Car Using DTMF Module
In this project we are going to control a manual robot through our cellphone using DTMF module and Arduino. By: Ankit Negi, Kanishk Godiyal and Navneet Singh sajwan INTRODUCTION In this project two cell phones, one for calling and one for receiving the call are used. The phone receiving the call is connected to the robot […]
Password Controlled AC Mains ON/OFF Switch
In this post I will show how to construct a password based mains ON/OFF switch circuit, which can turn ON and OFF the AC mains supply, only when correct password is entered. This prevents the danger of electrocution of the technician who might be currently working with the high voltage lines and equipment. Password Protection […]
Joystick Controlled 2.4 GHz RC Car Using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct a car robot which can be controlled using a joystick on 2.4 GHz wireless communication link. The proposed project is not only made as a RC car, but you can add your projects such as surveillance camera etc. on the car. Overview The project is divided […]
7 Watt LED Driver SMPS Circuit – Current Controlled
The presented 7 watt LED driver circuit is an SMPS based non-isolated, transformerless circuit which ensures a safe current controlled output for the attached LED, it is very affordable to build without involving complex transformer winding. Constant Current and Load Regulation Objective The aim behind the design of the IC TPS92310 (from TEXAS INSTRUMENTS) is […]
