Modified Sine Wave Inverter Circuits using IC 555 and 4017
When an inverter with square wave AC output is modified to generate a crude sinewave AC output, it is called a modified sine wave inverter. The following article presents interesting modified sine wave inverter designs with exhaustive descriptions regarding its construction procedure, circuit diagram, waveform output and detailed parts lists. The designs are intended for […]
3 Laser Beam Controlled Circuits Explored
A compact, battery-powered transmitter emits a LASER beam when the control push button is activated. The beam is frequency-coded to provide a maximum level of reliability in transmission. The receiver can be located at a considerable distance from the transmitter (up to several tens of meters). The light beam, by definition, remains highly focused, and […]
3 Easy Capacitive Proximity Sensor Circuits Explored
In this post I will comprehensively discuss a 3 basic proximity sensor circuits with many application circuits and detailed features of the circuit. The first two capacitive proximity sensor circuits uses a simple IC 741 and IC 555 based concepts, while the last one is a bit more accurate and incorporates a precision IC PCF8883 […]
