In cars or automobiles, LEDs have grown to be the preferred choice of lighting. Whether it’s the rear tail-lights or the tell-tale indicators in the cluster as indicated in Figure 1 below, all incorporate LEDs nowadays. Their compact dimensions helps versatility in design and offers the prospective to be as durable as the vehicle’s life […]

3D Moon-Sphere LED Driver with Charger and Dimmer Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a homemade LED driver with dimmer and charger circuit for illuminating a 3D moon from a 5V USB source. The idea was requested by Mr. John Sweden. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I’ve been a visitor to your website for many years and wonder if I may […]
L298N DC Motor Driver Module Explained
In this post I have explained about L298N dual H-bridge DC motor driver module which can be used to drive brushed DC motors and stepper motors with microcontrollers and ICs. Overview Modular circuit boards are best time savior for electronics designers which also reduce the prototyping errors. This is mostly preferred by programmers who write […]
Stepper Motor Driver Circuit using IC 555
In this project we are going learn how to make a simple unipolar stepper motor driver circuit using 555 timer IC. Apart from 555 timer we also need IC CD 4017 which is a decade counter IC. By Ankit Negi Any unipolar motor can be connected to this circuit for performing specific task, though you […]
