Blinking an LED with Delay – Arduino Basics
Here I have explained the bare minimum code for compiling an Arduino and also the method of blinking an LED using an Arduino board. Learning the Bare Basics Here we discus and try to understand the fundamental minimum code that one would need to compile an “Arduino Sketch” which consists the setup()method and the loop()method. […]
How to Make LED Air Pollution Meter Circuit with Arduino
In this project I will show how to construct an air pollution meter using MQ-135 sensor and arduino. The pollution level in the air is indicated by series of 12 LED. If higher the number of LEDs glows, the higher the pollution content in the air and vice versa. Overview This project can prove […]
SMPS 50 watt LED Street Light Driver Circuit
The post presents an SMPS based LED street lamp driver circuit which can be used for driving any LED lamp design right from 10 watts to 50 watts plus. Using the IC L6565 The proposed 50 watt (and higher) LED street light driver circuit uses the IC L6565 as the main control device, which is […]
2 Compact 12V 2 Amp SMPS Circuit for LED Driver
In this post I will comprehensively discuss a 2 simple 12V 2 amp SMPS circuit using the IC UC2842. We study a 2 amp flyback design by evaluating various formulas, which provides the exact selection details for the transformer winding and the parts specifications. Design#1: Introduction The first design is based on the versatile IC VIPer53-E. […]
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 […]
