An interesting electronic parasite zapper circuit shown below was successfully built and tested by my friend Mr. Steven. I have explained more about the proposed circuit. What is a Parasite Zapper The purpose of this device is simple, it is meant to act like a parasite zapper, a DIY electronic device that people say can […]

Replicating an EGS002 Equivalent Board using Arduino
The EGS002 board is nothing but a combination of a microcontroller with a H-bridge driver like the IR2110. So if you are interested to build your own EGS002 equivalent board with exactly identical features, then you can do it using the instructions given in the following article. So, here we are trying to build our […]
Making a Thermoelectric Generator (TEG) Circuit
A thermoelectric generator (TEG) is a kind of “radiant energy device” which has the property of converting temperature into electricity. In this post I have explained a little about this concept and find out how we can use it to generate electricity from heat and cold. What’s TEG In one of my earlier articles I […]
Making a Single Channel Oscilloscope using Arduino
In this interesting post, we are going to make a simple single channel oscilloscope using Arduino and a personal computer, where the waveforms will be showcased on the PC’s display and frequency and time period of the input waves will be displayed on the 16 x 2 display. Introduction Every electronics enthusiast once said “I […]
How to Use LM317 for Making a Variable Power Supply Circuit
In this post I will elaborately explain how to build a simple LM317 based adjustable power supply circuit using minimum number of external components. As the name suggests a variable power supply circuit provides the user with a range of linearly varying output voltages through a manually controlled potentiometer rotation. A LM317 is a versatile […]
Making LED Lamp using Cellphone Charger
A plug-in type powerful wall LED lamp can be built at home by using a few white LEDs and by powering it through a cell phone charger. The power from cell phone charger is around 6 volts at 500 mA approximately. Why use a Cell Phone Charger The supply from a cell phone charger may […]
