Sound Activated LED Lamp Circuit
A highly sensitive sound activated LED lamp circuit can be built using just a few transistors and resistors. The circuit is actually a high gain MIC amplifier circuit which amplifies the external sound hitting the MIC. The amplified signal is then used to momentarily illuminate a bunch of LEDs. What does the Circuit do? Basically, […]
Interface Accelerometer ADXL335 with LED and Arduino (Circuit Diagram)
In this post, we are going to see how to use an accelerometer with arduino and extract useful readings, which will be printed on serial monitor of IDE. We will also be exploring how accelerometer works in a nutshell and its applications. How the Accelerometers Works Accelerometer is an electromechanical device, which is used to […]
Simple 220V RGB LED Bulb Circuit for Christmas, Diwali Decoration
In this post I will explain this 220V RGB slow fading LED bulb circuit step by step and we can start from the left side and slowly move toward the right side so that you can understand what each block is doing. We use many parts like 555, 4017, 33uF, D1 to D4, and others […]
10 Simple LED Chaser Circuit Diagrams Explained [Knight Rider, Scanner, Reverse-Forward, Cascaded]
In this article I have explained the construction of 10 interesting yet simple LED chaser circuits, which not only create beautiful running light effect but are also easy to build. We also discuss how to modify these into a design popularly known as “knight rider” chaser circuit. These primarily incorporate LEDs as well as mains […]
10 LED Simple Roulette Wheel Circuit Diagram
A very simple 10 LED roulette wheel circuit is shown here. pressing the button starts the LEDs in a rotational motion (sequencing) at full swing initially, and gradually slows down, until it stops to a particular, randomly selected LED. The randomness of the selection depends upon the time for which the push remains switched ON […]
