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 […]

Switching Two Alternate Loads ON/OFF with IC 555
In this post I have explained how to make a simple IC 555 based alternate relay timer circuit for toggling a couple of loads alternately with a specified length of delay, as determined by the calculated values of the relevant components. The idea was requested by Mr. Sanjoy. Circuit Objectives and Requirements The Design Referring […]
Ultrasonic Smart Automatic ON/OFF Switch Circuit
In this article we are going to build a smart automatic ON/OFF switch using Arduino, which can turn on or off gadgets automatically by sensing the presence of human nearby through the concept of ultrasonic. We are going to use ultrasonic module and Arduino to sense the presence of human which activates the gadgets such […]
Power Switch ON Alarm with Auto OFF Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple monostable based power switch ON alarm circuit which automatically switches OFF after an adjustable preset delay. The idea was requested by Mr. Will Boswell. Technical Specifications Hi there, my name is Will Boswell. I am currently working on a project that involves adding an alarm sounder to […]
Switching OFF Lights in a Periodic Sequence
In this post I have explained a circuit that will switch off a group of lamps in sequence with a predetermined delay rate, as set by the user through a built in pot. The ideas was requested by Mr. Azam Jamal Technical Specifications I want to make a circuit which works like: I have 9nos […]
Fading an LED ON/OFF – Arduino Basics
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 […]
