This Arduino basics discusses the method of implementing a code through which the ON or OFF state of an external push-button could be read or monitored within the Arduino. Digital Read Serial Here I have explained through an example how to monitor the state of a switch by performing serial communication across your Arduino and your PC via USB. In excess to your […]

3 Phase Solid State Contactor Circuit: Electronic ON/OFF for Motor Pumps
In this article I have explained how to design and build a solid state contactor circuit using triacs, with ON OFF push electronic switches, for operating heavy duty loads like submersible borewell pump motors with high reliability, and without any concerns about wear and tear issue or long term degradation issues of the contactor unit. […]
Make this Single MOSFET Solid-State Relay SSR circuit
This single MOSFET solid-state relay SSR circuit is a very simple where you can drive an AC load like a lamp, motor, or any oter AC load, through a small DC control voltage. We use only one IRF840 MOSFET to switch the 220V AC load, and we do this with some clever diode bridge arrangement, […]
3 Solid-State Single IC 220V Adjustable Power Supply Circuits
These AC to DC power supplies use a single chip to convert mains 220 V or 120 V input AC into 12 V or 5 V DC without depending on a transformer. Three simple yet efficient 220V single chip based solid state transformerless adjustable solid-state power supply circuits are discussed here. The first one works […]
SPDT Solid State DC Relay Circuit using MOSFET
In this post we’ll study a simple high current mosfet based SPDT DC relay, which can be used in place conventional bulky SPDT mechanical relays. The idea was requested by Mr. Abu-Hafss. Working Concept A simple high current SPDT solid state DC relay or a DC SSR can be constructed using a couple of mosfets […]
