A pressure switch is a device which can be used for detecting water pressure in a tank and operate a water pump motor when the pressure gets too low, or the water in the tank goes lower than a desired minimum level. In this post I have explained a water pressure controller circuit for maintaining […]

Touch Operated Code Lock Switch Circuit
This touch operated electronic door lock can be used for locking any entrance through a touch keypad. The lock’s touch feature is foolproof and impossible to crack since the touch function is required to be on 3 programmed pads together or simultaneously, otherwise the lock doesn’t respond. It is a lot convenient to open a […]
Making a Float Switch Circuit for a Corrosion-free Water Level Control
A float switch is a device which detects a fluid level (such as water) and activates a set of contacts which may be further integrated to a control circuit for restricting the fluid flow behavior. Why a Float Switch The advantage of a float switch is that it works without a direct contact with the […]
SPDT Relay Switch Circuit using Triac
An efficient solid state single pole double throw or SPDT switch can be built using triacs for replacing a mechanical SPDT. In this post I have explained a simple solid state triac SPDT relay circuit, using an optocoupler and a couple of triacs, which can be used as an effective replacement for mechanical relays. The […]
Fishing YoYo Stop-Motion Switch Circuit with Indicator
In this post I have explained a stop-motion switch circuit or a strike indicator for aiding fishing yo yo applications. The idea was requested by Mr. Mike. Technical Specifications (kindly bear the long discussion) Hello Sir, My name is Mike. I am the one requesting help with this stop-motion switch from the “Homemade Circuits” Blog […]
Safety Buoy Switch Circuit for Human Powered Submarine
In this post I have explained a safety mechanism circuit which can be used in human powered submarines for safeguarding the diver during emergency situations. The idea was requested by Mr. Marielle. Technical Specifications For a (voluntary) project of the TU Delft in the Netherlands, we are building a human powered submarine. In this submarine we need a […]
