This light dimmer control has active timing capacitor reset or AC line zero-crossing synchronization. The 13 additional components are garden variety and cost less than $2. Performance at the low end is exceptionally smooth and snap-free better even than the TRIAC Dimmer Avoids Snap-ON version that uses a passive reset. We are all familiar with

the snap-on phenomenon of inexpensive TRIAC dimmers that are often used to control incandescent lamps turn the pot until the light comes (snaps) on and then reduce the setting to make it dimmer but don`t turn it too low because the light extinguishes and then the process must be repeated. However, . Hi guys, just a short article about a light dimmer switch that I opened a few days ago. I wanted a way to adjust the speed of a 220V fan and a friend of mine told me that I can use a regular and cheap light bulb dimmer for this. I told him it might not work but he was so sure about it so I had to test it and of course it. This Arduino lights dimmer project is based on Doug Hitchcock`s comment: I need to have a lamp dimmer that can cascade from one lamp to the next (up to 4 lamps). Basically, when you close a switch, the first lamp begins to light from dim to 100%. Once lamp #1 reaches 100%, then that triggers dimmer circuit #2. This light dimmer is used to dim the intensity of 12V light bulbs using the well-known 555 timer that is configured as an astable multivibrator. The pulses from pin 3 are used to control the VMOS transistor BUZ20, BUZ72 or 10N10. The maximum dissipated power must not exceed 40 watts. You may use the transistor without a. This SCR phase control works much like the common TRIAC dimmer, but has numerous advantages including increased current capability, robustness and absence of minimum voltage snap-on. ...
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.....
