This circuit will allow the user to lock his car ignition using his phone Bluetooth, meaning the ignition can be locked/unlocked only through a specific code from the user’s cellphone Bluetooth. Overview In one of my earlier posts I have already explained how to hack a Bluetooth headset and use it for any desired switching […]

Over Voltage Protection for Automotive Load Dump
In this post I have explained an over voltage cut-off protection circuit in the form of automotive dump load for protecting sensitive and sophisticated modern automotive electronics from transient DC electrical spikes emanating in vehicle electrical. Transient bus voltages are a significant risk factor to integrated circuits. The maximum breakdown voltage that an integrated circuit […]
Amplifier Short/Overload Protection Circuit – 2 Ideas Discussed
Due to some reason if the loudspeaker of a power amplifier gets shorted, that may lead to a fatal damage to the amplifier component. To prevent this an amplifier short circuit protector circuit can be very useful. In the following post I have explained 2 simple amplifier short circuit or overload protection circuits for safeguarding […]
Pump Motor Timer Circuit Diagram with Dry Run Protection
In this post I have explained about a circuit which can be used to monitor and detect the presence of municipal water supply by operating a pump motor through an intermittent ON/OFF timer. The timer keeps the pump motor ON for 15 seconds, if water is not detected, the pump is switched OFF for the […]
Low Battery and Overload Protection Circuit for Inverters
A very simple low battery cut-off and overload protection circuit has been explained here. The figure shows a very simple circuit set up which performs the function of an overload sensor and also as an under voltage detector. In both the cases the circuit trips the relay for protecting the output under the above conditions. […]
