This article discusses a simple ultrasonic sound sensor alarm circuit which may be appropriately set for detecting sound pressures well above the normal human listening capacity, that may range from 20 kHz and over. Ultrasonic Concept Ultrasound or ultrasonic sound waves was probably invented even before humans existed on this planet by a few of […]

Microwave Sensor or a Doppler Sensor Circuit
In this article we study the microwave sensor IC KMY 24 and try to understand its main features and its pinout implementation details. How Doppler Sensor KMY24 Works The KMY24 microwave sensor module is designed and built on the concept of Doppler effect. When correctly configured it radiates a low power microwave signal of around […]
Simple Shadow Sensor Alarm Circuit
This shadow detector circuit operates using two LDRs and effectively detects the difference between the light levels and triggers a loud audible warning siren. In circuits which uses a single LDR (photoresist), the detection may not be as sharp as with two LDRs discussed here.Operational details of the shadow detector circuit may be studied as […]
Analogue Water Flow Sensor/Meter Circuit – Check Water Flow Rate
In this post I have explained a simple water flow meter/sensor circuit using hall effect sensor and a pulse counter circuit. Referring to the diagram shown below, we can see an arrangement consisting of a circular enclosure having a couple of pipes drilled in and a circular turbine shaped wheel installed inside the enclosure. How […]
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 […]
Non-Contact Current Sensor Circuit Using Hall-Effect IC
In this article I have explained about a simple non-contact current sensor circuit using a hall effect sensor IC. Why Hall Effect Sensor When it comes to sensing current (Amps) linear Hall-effect devices are the best and the most accurate. These devices can sense and measure current right from a few amps to many thousands. […]
