This is a simple but efficient Electronic lock. This lock can be used to protect any electronic systems from unauthorized usage. To get access the uses needs to know 8 digit pass-code or password. When the user enters correct 8 digit password followed by `Enter` button, it activates the relay allowing access to the system controlled by relay. If t

he 8 digit pass-code is incorrect, after pressing "Enter" button, the circuits reset`s itself without turning the relay on. Heart of the circuit is IC1 (4017) decade counter. At power up, the counter will be at zero count and only pin-3 of IC1 will be high. If switch S1 is pressed momentarily it will provide a clock pulse for the counter which will increment the count and move high value from one pin to another (counting pulses) < /br> For example after power-on, only pressing S1 will switch high value from pin-3 to pin-2. After that only pressing S2 will move high value from pin-2 to pin4. Hence by pressing S1 to S8 sequentially, the high level on the pins shifts from pin-3 to 2 -> 4 -> 7 -> 10 -> 1 -> 5 -> 6-> and finally to pin-9. Only and only when ping 9 is high, pressing the "Enter" button will activate the relay and the clock will get opened. Any wrong-entry will reset the sequence. This circuit can be intentionally reseted by pressing the "Reset" button (S10). Switches S1 to S8 can be given random display numbers, and their random placement will make it difficult to guess the pass-code ( may be placing them as 3x3 switch matrix). One or more parallel connection switches of S10 can be placed in between S1 to S8 to increase the complexity of the code, so that any random pressing will repeatedly keep reseting the circuit and not allowing any access. IC2 (CD4071), IC3 (CD4081) and IC4 (CD4069) are used to provide logic...
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.....
