The flash that is built into digital cameras is designed for indoor photography. At subject distances of greater than five meters or so, the light is usually not powerful enough to take a satisfactory picture. Unfortunately most such cameras do not include a shoe for an external flashgun, and so a light-triggered slave flash is called for. The fla

sh built into the camera produces a very rapid change in light intensity which is picked up by a photo-transistor in the slave. The pulse is transmitted via C1 to the transistor, which then briefly shorts the contacts on the slave gun together. The sensitivity of the device can be adjusted using P1. The circuit can be connected to the shoe contacts of the slave flashgun using a coaxial cable, or, with space permitting and a nimble bit of DIY, can be built inside it. The circuit is not suitable for use with flashguns which have a voltage of more than 20 V across the trigger contacts, or with cameras that emit a number of preflashes` before taking the picture proper.
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.....
