Simple Peak Detector Circuit to Detect and Hold Peak Voltage Levels
In this article I have explained about a peak detector circuit, its working principle and how to implement it in clap operated circuits for illuminating an LED in response to clap sounds. What is Peak Detector A peak detector is a circuit which holds maximum amplitude value of a signal. If a signal varies rapidly […]
Simple LDR Motion Detector Alarm Circuit
Here I have explained how to build a simple LDR based motion detector sensor circuit using ordinary parts such as LDRs and opamps, reasonably accurately. What are Motion Detectors Motion detector or sensor alarm is a device which detects the presence of a motion or movement within a certain fixed range and raises an alarm […]
Simple Electronic Dog Whistle Circuit Explained
An electronic dog whistle is a device that generates ultrasonic sound waves and is used for training dogs and for controlling excessive barking habit. Because dogs and domestic cats can hear ultrasonic frequencies, humans cannot, this dog whistle device is employed to train these animals. It is also sometimes known as a silent whistle or […]
Simple Touch Operated Potentiometer Circuit
In this touch operated potentiometer circuit we have two touch pads, which produce a slowly increasing voltage at the output when one touch pad is touched, and a decreasing voltage when the other touch pad is touched. When the touch contact is removed the voltage holds at that particular increased or decreased level “permanently”. Touch […]
Simple Soil Moisture Tester Circuit with a Single IC 741
A very simple mud or soil moisture tester circuit can be built by using a single opamp and a few passive components, I have explained the details through the following article. Circuit Objective After water and sunlight the earth or the soil is the next most important natural gift that this planet has provided us […]
