In this post I have explained how to make a simple yet efficient transistor/diode tester circuit, that will not only test the quality of a BJT, but will also help to identify whether it is is an NPN or a PNP. The circuit was designed and contributed by Mr. Henry Bowman. Circuit Operation Referring to […]

Simple Arduino Digital Ohmmeter Circuit
In this post I will show how to construct a simple digital ohmmeter circuit using Arduino and 16×2 LCD display. We will also be exploring the other possible circuit ideas using the same concept. Circuit Objective The motto of this article is not just making an ohm meter to measure the resistance; your multimeter can […]
Simple Scrolling RGB LED Circuit
A simple RGB (Red, Green, Blue) moving or scrolling LED display can be made using a few 4017 ICs. I have explained the procedure in detail. Understanding RGB LED RGB LEDs have become quite popular these days due to its three-in-one color feature, and because these can be driven independently using three distinct supply sources. […]
Simple RGB LED Color Mixer Circuit using LM317 IC
In this post I have explained a simple LM317 IC based RGB 3 watt LED color mixer circuit, which can be used for demonstrating the color mixing effects of red, blue, green colors as specified in the standard color charts. The idea was requested by Mr.Praveen. Technical Specifications My name is Pravin, I work in […]
Simple Faraday Flashlight – Circuit Diagram and Working
In this article I will show how to construct a Faraday flashlight circuit using only a coil/magnet assembly which requires no battery. It’s not free energy, but it converts oscillatory motion to electricity, which can power the flashlight for a couple of minutes. This flashlight will be useful in emergency situations where no access to […]
How to Design Simple LED Driver Circuits
In this article I have explained how to design your own customized, simple LED driver circuits at home. We will learn how to calculate specific LED configurations for applying the LEDs with appropriate LED driver power supplies. In these driver power supplies I have explained two concepts one by using SMPS boards and the other […]
