Here’s a simple triac timer circuit which can be used for switching ON a particular device after a predetermined time, set through the given pot or the variable resistor. The shown circuit diagram of a simple triac timer can be understood by referring to the following explanation: How it Works The left hand side section […]

Simple Adjustable Industrial Timer Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple and effective industrial timer circuit which can be universally used for most industrial and home timer based applications. The idea was requested by Mr. Vasilis K. Technical Specifications I have a question regarding the 4060 ic wired as “one shot timer.” If it can power on the […]
Simple Automatic Plant Watering Circuit for Monitoring Soil Moisture
This automatic plant watering circuit can be used for automatically sensing soil humidity and triggering a water pump when the ground gets parched below a predetermined level (adjustable). Circuit Operation The circuit is rather straightforward and uses a single IC 555 as the main active component.Referring to the automatic plant irrigation circuit shown below we […]
Simple Shop Shutter Guard Circuit to Safeguard your Shop from Theft
The shop shutter guard circuit discussed here guards your shop when its shutter is closed i.e., at night if an intruder tries to break the shutter, the piezo senses the vibration and the relay is fired to which a 230 volt bulb can be connected which makes the intruder think that someone’s inside…..but he doesn’t […]
Simple Greenhouse Temperature Regulator Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple electronic temperature regulator circuit which could be specifically used for regulating greenhouse temperatures. The idea was requested by Mr. Leo. Technical Specifications I am looking for a guide to build a basic temp regulator circuit. I have a solar charger bought from lidl,(SLS 2200 A1) which has […]
4 Simple Proximity Sensor Circuits – Using IC LM358, IC LM567, IC 555
Video Demonstration An IR proximity sensor is a device which detects the presence of an object or a human when it is within a predetermined range from the sensor, through reflected infrared beams. Three useful proximity sensor concepts are explained here, the first concept is based on an ordinary opamp LM358, the second one using […]
