In this post I have explained a basic Arduino function where I have explained the process of fading an LED ON/OFF through some basic code implementations. Creating a Fading Effect We see how to use an analogwrite() function in order to implement a fading ON/OFF of an LED. The function incorporates PWM pulses across a […]

LED Chaser using IC 74C164: 8 LEDs turn ON one by one, Shut off, then Repeat
Referring to the following chaser circuit diagram below, we can see a low-frequency, astable oscillator circuit, made up of two gates, IC1a and IC1b, from the IC 4011 quad two-input NAND gate. The operating frequency of this astable is determined by the values of C1 and R11. This circuit configuration works well as a clock-pulse […]
Single Transistor LED Flasher Circuit
It is possibly the smallest LED flasher to date, which is able to flash an LED ON/OFF infinitely using a single transistor, a resistor, and a capacitor. Can you imagine making a great looking LED flasher or blinker with just a single transistor and a couple of other passive parts? That’s exactly what I have […]
Simple LED Tubelight Circuit
An LED tube-light is lighting device built using high efficiency LEDs for illuminating a premise where it is installed, through the available AC mains supply. In this post I have explained the complete construction details of a simple LED light tube light circuit using 20 mA, 5 mm high bright white LEDs. The circuit can […]
How to Connect Car LED Downlight: Circuit Diagram
A car LED downlight available in the market can be easily integrated to an existing car battery if its rating is identical to the battery’s voltage rating. I have explained more regarding one such request sent by Mr. Allwyn Siqueira. How to Connect Downlight to 12V Car Battery Hi Swagatam, I’ve just spent the last […]
Controlling LED Strip Light ON/OFF and Brightness with any Remote Control
In this post I will show how to construct LED strip controller circuit using Arduino, which can turn ON/OFF and decrease/increase brightness of LEDs using ordinary IR (Infrared) remote. What is LED Strip Light? (For noobs) If you are not familiar with LED strip lights, let’s understand what it is. LED strips (sometimes called as […]
