This is a simple digital counter of pulses with 7-segment LED displays. There may be any number of digits. I have chosen decimal counters 4026 (MH4026, HCF4026, CD4026, etc. ). Their advantage is that you don`t need binary decoders from BCD to 7-segment signal. Displays are common cathode, such DC56-11GWA. Resistors are not needed because the outpu

t of IO gives only a small current. Number of digits is arbitrary. Output: "10" from a lower digit IC is always connected to the input (clk) of higher digit IC. Impulses are fed to the input clk of IC of lowest digit. All ICs are reset by pressing button, which brings a positive level on the RESET input. Circuit voltage supplied should be about 4 to 7V. It can be stabilizated using for example 7805. The design is very simple, and therefore it would not make problems to beginners. Counter has a broad application, such as counting turns on winder, counting products, failures, error conditions and so on. It can also be used as a basis of GM counters with Geiger-Muller tube.
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
