This simple CPO is for those who want to practice Morse Code in a different way, ie with out the morse key. It can be also used as a touch operated door bell. The popular timer IC555 is wired as astable multivibrator. The frequency (tone) can be changed by varying the 100 K variable resistor between pin 7 and 6 of timer IC555. The volume can be... .IR appliances use pulses (control signals) sent over a modulated IR carrier wave. The carrier wave may be modulated at various frequencies, 36-38KHz being the most popular.Some Satellite receivers use even higher frequencies than this. The IR1 remote module receives an infra red signal and separates control pulses from the modulation. To... .A simple two tone water alarm that is light enough to be worn on the upper arm of a sleeper is described. It uses two LMC555 CMOS timer chips followed by a complimentary pair of emitter followers to drive an 8 ohm speaker. Power is supplied by a 9 volt transistor radio battery. An modification to produce a siren rather than two tone operation is... .The 555 timer IC is connected for Astable Operation, the clock pulses are fed to the 4017 IC via the 10K resistor. The 4017 is a 10 stage counter, each of the outputs is connected to the appropriate LED, as some LEDs need to be on for more than one count, we use diodes to avoid a short circuit situation between outputs. The capacitor and... .This circuit is built around one of the most popular timer integrated circuits, the 555 timer. It will flash the led on and of at regular intervals. From left to right, the two resistors and the capacitor set the time it takes to turn the led on or off, by changing the time it takes to charge the capacitor to trigger the timer. Next is the 555... .The 555 is configured in the standard astable oscillator circuit designed to give a square wave cycle at a period of around 1 cycle/sec. A potentiometer is included in the design so the period can be set to exactly 1 second by timing the LED flashesc. A jumper connection is provided so the LED can be turned off. As soon as power is applied to... .The tool is based on a NE555 (or LM555) timer i.c., wired as an astable multivibrator. The frequency of the multivibrator is determined by the value of the unknown capacitor Cx. The circuit can be fed by a small battery. I use myself a 9 V block battery which is connected to pins 4 and 8 of the i.c. via an on/off switch. The output of the... .Here is the circuit diagram of simple but highly effective TV remote jammer circuit. Most of the TV remotes have 38KHz operating frequency. A flood of IR beams in the same frequency can easily confuse the TV receiver and this is the operating principle of our jammer. The circuit is nothing but an astable multivibrator based on NE555 IC. The... .Pulse width modulation (PWM) is a technique to control analog circuits with a digital output. PWM is used in many applications, Specially to control light intensity and speed on motors. A PWM circuit makes a square wave with a variable width. The pulse width in this circuit can be varied from 5% to 95%. Used in a dimmer, this circuit controls... .This is a simple oscillator with multiple resistors in serie. When you press any switch, the circuit starts oscillating. You can user variable resistors instead the 1k resistors. Using variable resistors you will be able to tune the frecuency for each note. You cannot be able to press two keys at the same time because the frecuency will change.... .With this circuit we can create a altered sound of siren. The oscillator IC1a-b is constituted by two gates NAND, oscillating in very low frequency. This oscillation drive the IC2, that is a electronic switch, which opens and closes in the rythm of oscillation. When closes the switch then the voltage of supply charge the capacitor C3 through the... .The circuit is based on the IC1 that is 555, for the creation of alternate flashes from the two led D1-2, that can be also different colour. The frequency of alternation can be regulated from the trimmer R3 and from the C1, if changes his capacity. The supply can become from a battery or from one separate power supply. A use of circuit is... .The modern mechanic switches are improved concerning of old technology. We need however many times to replacement some old switch or to check currents bigger than the durability of certain switches or simple we need something with modern appearance. For he and different reasons is essential the up circuit. He is simple in the manufacture and... .A wide rage auto turn OFF timer covering 1 minute to 20 hours in three ranges with S1. As soon as power is applied to the circuit the IC1 [555] starts to oscillate happily and feeds clock pulses to the IC2 [4017]. The IC2 [4017] and IC3 [4020] give a combined count rate of 81920 before the output of the IC3 [4020] goes high and turns Q1 on. With... .The video switcher described here can display the output of two, three, or four cameras on a single monitor. The number of cameras is set by a DIP switch on the circuit board. That feature avoids blank displays if less than four cameras are used by sequencing through only the inputs that are connected to a camera. In the automatic mode, the... .The UNIVERSAL HOLD circuit detects the dual tone, multi frequency (DTMF) tone that is generated when the # key is pressed and then activates a circuit that partially loads the telephone line so that the central office thinks a phone is still off hook even after it is hung up. When any phone is again picked up, the hold function is canceled. .A simple SWR meter first needs a calibration to Uv = 100 % (forward power). When switching over to Ur (reflected power) the SWR is indicated. This procedure has to be repeated every time a change is made to the transmit power, antenna tuner or frequency etc. With the help of the following circuit one can read the SWR directly without repeating... .This project uses a four-point resistance measurement process also known as the Kelvin method. This procedure uses a current source to determine the value of an unidentified resistance. A constant current flows through the unknown resistance and the voltage drop across it is measured.
