Five simple yet effective electronic toggle flip flop switch circuits can be built around the IC 4017, IC 4093, and IC 4013. We will see how these can be implemented for switching a relay alternately ON OFF by alternately pressing a single push-button or through touch pads, which in turn will switch an electronic load […]

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 […]
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 […]
ON/OFF Relay Switch Circuit using Reflection Sensor
This 220 V ON/OFF electronic relay switch can be toggled ON/OFF simply by alternately bringing your finger close to the reflection sensor CNY70. About CNY70 CNY70 is an infrared reflecting sensor comprised of an infrared emitting diode and a phototransistor housed in a tiny plastic container. The sensor operates by generating infrared light and sensing […]
Automatic Inverter Fan Switch ON while Charging and Inverting Modes
In this post I have explained a simple method of automatically switching ON an inverter fan whenever the unit is operating in the charging mode or inverter mode, in order to ensure optimum cooling of the internal power devices. The idea was requested by Mr. Sudip Bepary. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I have just bought […]
