EncoderBit1(LOW) is negated with the hex inverter U5A and sent to the 4-input AND gate U3A along with EncoderBit0(HIGH), the above J-K output (HIGH), and a HIGH value from Vcc. -During these 5 seconds, the encoder knob is rotated so both bits are set LOW. Those 2 outputs are inverted with hex inverters U2A and U8A, making the signals HIGH, and one

is sent to the Down input pin of the 74193 synchronous 4-bit counter IC while the other is ANDed (U10A) with the output of a second one-shot (U4A). -The falling edge of the 5 second one-shot triggers the second one-shot U4A for 2 seconds. While the first one-shot acted as a delay, this acts as a timer. During those 2 seconds while the output 1Q of U4A is high, the AND gate U10A outputs a HIGH, which sets the ~LOAD pin on the 74193 counter HIGH and effectively activates the counter and prepares it for the next inputs. -While the one-shot is still outputting HIGH and the counter is active, Button3 is pressed 3 times, sending 3 singlas to the Up pin and setting outputs QA and QB of the counter HIGH (b`0011` = 3). The two HIGH outputs are ANDed by U17A and that output is further ANDed by U6A with the Enter button. -As seen above, the correct output is actually the one coming from the U17A AND gate. This signal does not change unless the Reset button is pressed and is then ANDed with the changing Enter button signal. This allows the output to be controlled by pressing the Enter button once the lock is `open`, which is necessary for the second part of the lock. -The output and inverted output of the U6A AND gate, along with a ground singal, is sent over an RJ-11 cable to the Temple of Wisdom Box (wooden Winchester ammo box) which controls a DC motor latch to lock and unlock the lid. -The latch is operated using an H-bridge of 4...
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.....
