Meter Ml, a +/-50-uA zero-center D`Arsonval meter movement is driven by Ul, a TL081 FET op amp, through R3. The gain of Ul is set at 11 by Rl and R2, while capacitor 01 is used to restrict the bandwidth of Ul to 1.6 Hz. Power for the circuit is derived from.... -
Sound or light sensors corniected to J2 produce a voltage that is amplified by ICl-a and ICl-b. A positive trigger voltage that is developed by D1 and 1)3 and amplified by ICl-d, drives 1C2 and 1C1 to trigger SCR1. SCR1 is connected to a strobe. .. -
The electronic darkroom timer is built around a 555 oscillator/timer, a pair of general-purpose transistors, a buzzer, and an LED. The 555 (Ul) is configured as an astable multivibrator (free-running oscillator). The frequency of the oscillator is.... -
Two gates of a 4011 arc used as a comparator. When the resistance of R4 decreases the voltage at pin 1 and 2 increases, producing a logic zero at pin 3, causing pin 4 to go high and activating the LED. R3 is calibrated in light units, or seconds exposure.... -
