In this electronic roulette wheel (see Fig. 1. ) the timer 555 works as a generator of pulses with fading frequency. The counter 4017 switches LED`s one by one in the selected string, and the divider by two based on D-type flip flop (4013 IC) selects the LED`s strings. Actually the base of this circuit diagram is the counter DD2 and the string of L

EDs D1. D10 (if we connect the resistor R6 to the ground and remove the D-trigger and LEDS DD11. DD20 from the circuit then we get simple electronic roulette wheel with 10 light-emitting diodes), so by adding a D-trigger to the circuit we can add more LED`s. When the button SB1 ("Spin") is first pressed and then released, the generator produces pulses with frequency that getting lower, and at the end the generator stops. The decade counter DD2 counts this pulses, and the state of its outputs changes with every pulse. The light emitting diodes is connected in tho strings D1. D10 or D11. D20 lights up one by one (it looks like it "spins"). At the end an only one LED will illuminate. It is imitate a roulette spin. The DD3 divider by two changes its state every 10 pulses, and this divider selects the first or the second string of LEDs. Resistors R6, R7 prevents overload of outputs of DD3 flip flop trigger. All inputs of the second flip flop of IC DD3 should be grounded. The 555 integrated circuit produces pulses. When the power switch SA1 is on and the button SB1 is pressed then the frequency of the timer is constant. When the button SB1 is released then the frequency of the timer will slowly fading down. The capacitor C2 was charged while the button SB1 was pressed, so now C2 discharges through resistors R2, R3, capacitor C3 and the output "DIS" ("discharge") of the 555 IC. Because the current that charges the capacitor C3...
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.....
