"Should I cut the blue wire... or the red...?" This is a very common phrase in many movies when the action hero has a bomb in front of him with little time left and he has to choose which wire to cut and stop the bomb from exploding saving millions of people. This game is just that... a count down timer and 4 wires of different colors. The... .This circuit sequence through a pattern of Christmas lights to turn on and off each string of lights, one at a time. After sequencing through all strings, the circuit turns the last string off, then turns all strings on, and then off, before repeating the pattern. Some simple wiring changes will let you set up other patterns. This circuit... .Halloween is coming up and it's time to do some pranks. Everyone likes Halloween and I'm no exception. Every year me and my wife decorate the house with lot's of bugs, spider webs, creepy posters and of course lot's of Halloween candy. While making the normal Halloween preparations I came up with the idea of making a circuit that would make some... .The Hand Steadiness Tester is a game which tests the steadiness of your hand. The player has to take the ring from one end to another end without touching it to the wire. In this the player gets 4 turns. If the player touches the wire 4 times he has to reset the game & start the whole game from the beginning. This project consists of IC 4017, a... .You can play this game alone or with your friends. The circuit comprises a timer IC, two decade counters and a display driver along with a 7-segment display. The game is simple. As stated above, it is a scoring game and the competitor who scores 100 points rapidly (in short steps) is the winner. For scoring, one has the option of pressing either... .Everybody likes re-discovering something they did years ago. Here`s a game we all played at school. Possibly under the name of HANG THE BUTCHER. The game is quite simple. One player thinks of a word and writes down the number of letters in that word in the form of boxes or dashes. The object of the game is for the opponent to suggest letters of... .This project has two advantages over previous dice circuits. It produces a realistic readout as well as a `slow-down` feature. These combine to make it one of our most popular games projects. As can been seen in the photo, the 7 LEDs are positioned on the board in the same positions as the spots on a dice (die). When these are activated, they... .The name of our game, LED Zeppelin, is a play on words. It comes not from the pop group of the same name but from Graf Von Zeppelin, a German who invented the first rigid air ship in 1900. The association fits perfectly. The game consists of six LEDs and an indicator LED that flashes at a rate of about 2 cycles per second. A push button is the... .This project is a real winner in more ways than one. When you understand how the circuit works, it is really 4 projects in one. And it has two modes of operation: MANUAL and AUTOMATIC. Everyone likes a little flutter. The introduction of so many outlets in competition for the gambling dollar is positive proof of this. Every week the total prize... .The most amazing thing about this project is the small number of parts. My boss joked that it involves 17 cents worth of parts and 1000 dollars worth of programming. But don`t worry -- the code is free to you! That means you can build this TV pong game in a very short time, or adapt the generic "video engine" portion of the program to make your... .This project is not to introduce Tic Tac Toe. Everyone knows this game. It`s to introduce two features. Bi-coloured LEDs, microcontrollers and the skill of writing an ALGORITHM. You can use the project to learn the skills of creating the Tic Tac Toe program or create animations on the 3x3 display. .If 12V relays are used, you can replace the 180R resistors R7,R9,R14,R16,R20,R22,R26 and R28 with a wire link (the resistors are only there to limit current if you use 5V relays, of which I had a load in my parts bin). If the system doesn't reset cleanly on power-up (several lights may come on or the relays may chatter), just solder a 100nF... .The PC board has been designed to accept either a PIC16F84A or PIC16F628. With the introduction of the`628 to the world market, it has taken over from the PIC16F84A and we will be ceasing to design projects for the `F84 and concentrating on the cheaper `F628. The two main improvements with this chip are the lower price and internal 4MHz... .The arc welder simulator is made up from several functional blocks: five oscillators, two gates and the output driver. IC1A, IC1B and IC1C are all wired as square wave oscillators, each operating at a different frequency under 100 Hz. This output is a pulse of semi-random duration and occurring at semi-random intervals. This is used to generate... .This circuit was designed to provide that continuous light lamps already wired into a circuit, become flashing. Simply insert the circuit between existing lamp and negative supply. Especially suited for car or panel pilot lights, this device can drive lamps up to 10W. Ideal to operate 3 to 24V DC existing on-circuit lamps. LED operation is... .Upon opening your fridge door the photocell is exposed to light and the piggy oinks. Reverse engineered circuit diagram is of an early commercial design which uses an OP-AMP to make simulated pig sounds. Modern Fridge Pigs sound much better because they store an analog recording of a real pig in a cmos chip. .This box is a set of nine relaxation oscillators. It blinks random patterns and looks cool. When the voltage on the capacitors charge to 65 volts, the neon gas ionizes and discharges the capacitors to 55 volts. The frequency can be simply calculated from the exponential RC function, assuming that the discharge time is neglible to the charging time. .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... .This is not a sophisticated automatic keyer but it is lot QRP to build and to have fun operating it. When the paddle is connected to the DOT terminal, C1 starts to charge. When C1's charge reaches sufficiently high value, it causes the transistor BC157B to conduct and pulls the relay and key the transmitter. Paddle connection is then... .
