In this post I have explained how to correctly connect an IR photodiode in circuits such as a proximity sensor circuit. The explanation is presented in the form a discussion between one of the dedicated readers of this blog NVD, and me. Here’s the discussion which explains how to connect a photodiode in an electronic […]

MQ-135 Air Quality Sensor Circuit – Working and Interfacing with Program Code
In this article I have explained how to interface air quality sensor MQ-135 with Arduino. We will see overview of the sensor and construct a project which detects LPG gas leakage and see some relevant readings in serial monitor. What is MQ-135 sensor? MQ-135 is an air quality or air pollution measuring sensor device. It […]
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 […]
Tilt Sensor Switch Circuit
The articles presents a simple water triggered switch which is effectively implemented as a super simple tilt sensor circuit. Let’s know more. Easy to Build Circuit Ready availability of cost effective components can be deployed to fabricate tilt sensor alarm in ultra transistor based simple circuit. The domestic version of tilt sensor explained here is […]
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 […]
