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 […]

Proximity Detector using Hall Effect Sensor Circuit
This proximity detector circuit uses a Hall effect sensor to detect the approach of a magnetic object, such as a magnet fixed to the frame of a door. The application is simple, but widely used. The use of a Hall effect sensor solves many problems that arise when one wants to detect the opening of […]
How to Build a Rain Sensor Circuit
This is a simple rain sensor circuit which can be built by a school grade student very easily and can be used for displaying its relatively useful feature, probably among his friends or in a science fair exhibition. Using IC 555 as the Comparator The circuit is basically rigged using IC 555 as a comparator […]
Interfacing DHTxx Temperature Humidity Sensor with Arduino
In this article we are going to take a look at DHTxx series sensors, which is used for measuring temperature and humidity, both the functionality is integrated into one module. We are going to see their specification, so that you can choose best sensor for your project and finally we are going to interface it […]
Earthquake Sensor Circuit [Seismic Sensor]
The article shows an earthquake sensor circuit idea which incorporates an innovative way of detecting the minutest of shocks caused by a possible earthquake tremor. The circuit is so sensitive that it is able to detect tremor of 4 on the Richter scale, yet remains unaffected to loud sounds or irrelevant bangs or noises. Introduction […]
Municipal Water Supply Sensor Controller Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple water sensor with pump starter circuit for switching a pump motor during municipal water supply periods. The idea was requested by Mr. Hitesh Thapa. Technical Specifications Is it possible to make a automatic water pump starter which turns On only when the city supply line has water […]
