This is a simple touch switch circuit, the 555 timer is configured as a one shot multivibrator that is triggered by touching the touch terminal. In this monostable mode, the timer generates a fixed pulse of about 4 seconds whenever the trigger voltage falls below Vcc/3. When the trigger pulse voltage applied to the #2 pin falls below Vcc/3 while th

e timer output is low, the timer`s internal flip-flop turns the discharging Tr. off and causes the timer output to become high by charging the external capacitor C2 and setting the flip-flop output at the same time. The voltage across the external capacitor C2, VC2 increases exponentially with the time constant t=R3*C2 and reaches 2Vcc/3 at td=1. 1R3*C2. Hence, capacitor C2 is charged through resistor R3. The greater the time constant, the longer it takes for the VC2 to reach 2Vcc/3. In other words, the time constant R3*C2 controls the output pulse width. When the applied voltage to the capacitor C2 reaches 2Vcc/3, the comparator on the trigger terminal resets the flip-flop, turning the discharging Tr. on. At this time, C2 begins to discharge and the timer output converts to low. In this way, the timer operating in the monostable repeats the above process. To increase the time of the delay from 4 seconds, the value of R3 and C2 need to be increased. Similarly, to decrease the output time delay, the value of R3 and C2 need to be reduced.
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.....
