This simple yet highly sophisticated, smart LED street light circuit automatically switches ON a street lamp from low brightness to high brightness whenever it detects a moving object underneath it. This action is initiated only during nighttime, while during daytime the street lamp remains completely shut off. What this Circuit will do This advanced automatic […]

GSR Sensor Circuit for Biofeedback Measurements
In this post I have explained how to build a very simple GSR sensor circuit using just a couple of transistors and a few other passive components. A GSR (Galvanic Skin Resistance) sensor, also known as a skin conductance or electrodermal activity sensor, measures the electrical conductance of the skin, which changes in response to […]
Car Tank Water Sensor Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple car tank water sensor alarm circuit using IC 555 and a pulsating signal on the sensing probes to pevent corrosion on the probes. The idea was requested by Mr. Peter. Circuit Objectives and Requirements The Design Referring to the figure below, the proposed car tank water sensor […]
