This is the circuit diagram of a simple electronic combination lock using IC LS 7220. This circuit can be used to activate a relay for controlling (on & off) any device when a preset combination of 4 digits are pressed. The circuit can be operated from 5V to 12V. To set the combination connect the appropriate switches to pin 3, 4, 5 and 6 of the IC th

rough the header. As an example if S1 is connected to pin 3, S2 to pin 4, S3 to pin 5, S4 to pin 6 of the IC, the combination will be 1234. This way we can create any 4 digit combinations. Then connect the rest of the switches to pin 2 of IC. This will cause the IC to reset if any invalid key is pressed, and entire key code has to be re entered. When the correct key combination is pressed the out put ( relay) will be activated for a preset time determined by the capacitor C1. Here it is set to be 6S. Increase C1 to increase on time. For the key pad, arrange switches in a 3X4 matrix on a PCB. Write the digits on the keys using a marker. Instead of using numbers I wrote some symbols!. The bad guys will be more confused by this.
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.....
