How to create a Battery pack for your Apple device that is powered by normal Alkaline batteries. This will be a general overview of building the circuit for the battery pack and the detailed instructions for the case will be given in part 2 of this post. NOTE: When soldering the USB socket, face the open part to the right with the connector pins facing left, as in the schematic. Inside the

socket, you will see that there are "2 halves", a hollow half and a half with pins. Make sure that the hollow half is on the bottom and the pins are on the top. This circuit is necessary for the charger to be accepted by the Apple device. Basically, the USB socket must have exactly 5V on the first pin, 2V on the second and third pins, and ground on the fourth pin. I cannot give step-by-step instructions for soldering in each and every resistor, wire, capacitor, regulator, ect. because depending on the type of PCB board you buy, the pre-made copper insertions on the back of the board are different. Any type of battery above 6 volts will work for this circuit. To use this circuit, just plug in your USB charger cord and plug it into your Apple device.
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.....
