This electronic device works similar to a metal detector but it does something special: it detects live electrical wires. Such a gadget is highly useful for electricians doing repair or renovation jobs. Being able to detect hidden wires will highly reduce.... -
This circuit sent out an alarm when its LDR sensor is exposed to light by sun or lamp. A 555 astable multivibrator was used here which sent signal a tone of about 1kHz upon detecting light. The sensor when exposed by light completes the circuit and makes the.... -

Hmmm, if it is resistive, AC is equivalent to pulsed DC and the sensor is degraded in any case with the RMS value of the AC signal. If you appy 1VAC RMS, you could as well apply 1V DC. If you use an ADC10 or ADC12, the samples are take one after another.... -
Dark Activated Switch or Porch Light Switch This circuit will activate a relay when light falls to a preset level. Light level can be adjusted with VR1 and the relay contacts may be used to operate an external light or buzzer Dark Activated Switch This.... -
The electronic device feel the proximity which measures the user fast. But the distance that most proximity sensors survey is relatively short on the market at present, 1~10cm generally, and infrared rays LED whether multipulse mode for a long time launch.... -
To know whether it is freezingyou only need tomeasure the temperature. This has to be done accurately, of course, and therefore we need to choose atemperature sensorthat we have some confidence in. The choice has again been made for a type that we have.... -
Figure 1 shows a circuit for sensing the water level in a tank and turning on or off a water pump accordingly. The main component of the circuit is the CD-4011 Quad NAND gate, three gates of which are used as shown in Figure 1 (gates G1, G2, and G3). G1 is.... -

Temperature-indicator and temperature-based products have generated wide interest. There are numerous applications for such devices with many possible solutions, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. This idea discusses a sensor interface that.... -
This design idea explains how to develop a water sensor circuit that can monitor upper and lower water levels.. -
Ambient light is increasingly being used as a source of energy. To help designers of such systems, this circuit accurately measures ambient light intensity over four decades of measurement. The design is highly cost effective and, with the sensor mounted in.... -
The piezo element is only connected to Channel 1 (Arduino A[0] port). The channels Ch 1 Ch 6 are connected to female mono jacks and the ground(GND) wiring is in series from jack 1, 2 and 3 so on. till the Ch 6 end to the Arduino GND port. Taped 3 times 787 0.... -
Achieve communication between MCU and accelerometer trough I2C nor SPI. I observed that shorting PLL filter input in device causes no effect on both gyro readings and operation. My assumption is that PLL is present only in accelerometer part of the device. I.... -
A circuit which utilizes a photo-transistor to make a light sensitive switch that is when there is no light in room, the led connected to the photo-transistor lights up and when there is light in room, the led connected to Phototransistor turns off Any.... -
Amplify a MG811 CO2 sensor to a range readable by an ATMEGA2560 (0-5v). I have other analog sensors, so do not want to change ref voltage on Atmega. I have found a module that scales the signal and want to replicate the circuit from the documentation, but.... -
A project with two distance sensors that signal an Arduino to operate a servo motor when an object comes into range. This currently works well, except that the sensors are outputting a relatively high voltage all the time, so I have to set a very high cutoff.... -
The reason being is that I would like to use the sensor as a force sensor. I noticed that the harder I press it, the higher a voltage it delivers (but for a very short time). This is expected behavior, of course. What I am wondering is how I would connect it.... -
An R/C electric motor that has a 10K thermistor sensor built into it, which is connected to a speed control that has basic thermal protection. I would like to build a secondary sensor board that displays the temperature on a segment display, but I still want.... -
A PIR sensor is triggered by itself when using a timer to wait 2 seconds after the sensor is triggered. Without using the timer to wait the sensor works as expected. I have a PIR sensor connected to an ATMega328p. The PIR sensor has three pins; VCC, GND and.... -
LM358 consist of two independent, high gain operational amplifier in one package. Important feature of this IC is we do not require independent power supply for working of each comparator for wide range of power supply. LM358 can be used as transducer....

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.... -
