You can use a Cmos 4001 or a Cmos 4011 in this circuit. They have four - two-input - gates. In each case - the two inputs are joined together. So the gates are being used as simple inverters. = This means that when the two inputs are high - the output will be low. And when the two inputs are low - the output will be high. = The output from the cir

cuit is at pin 10. When pin 10 goes low - it`s connected internally to the negative line. So it connects the base of Q1 to ground - through R3. This allows base current to flow through the transistor`s emitter-base junction. And R3 limits the size of that current - to about 5mA. = When current flows through the emitter-base junction of Q1 - it switches the transistor on. The transistor connects the negative side of the relay coil to ground - and the relay energizes. = When pin 10 goes high again - it`s connected internally to the positive line. So it connects the base of Q1 to the positive line - through R3. This cuts off the base current`s path to ground. = Without its base current - the transistor switches off. This disconnects the negative side of the relay coil from ground - and the relay de-energizes. = In other words - every time pin 10 goes low - the relay will energize. And every time pin 10 goes high - the relay will de- energize. Thus - the state of the relay is controlled by the state of pin 10. = The state of pin 10 is controlled by the voltage on pins 5 & 6. = The gates are being used as simple inverters. So - if pins 5 & 6 are high - pin 4 will be low. Pin 4 takes pins 1 & 2 low - so pin 3 will be high. Pin 3 takes pins 12 & 13 high - so pin 11 is low. Pin 11 takes pins 8 & 9 low - so pin 10 is high. = In other words - while pins 5 & 6 remain high - the relay will remain de-energized. The opposite is also...
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.....
