This network wiring tester comprises two elements, a transmitter unit, powered and fitted at the network start point, and a receiver unit, passive, which can be moved around from socket to socket. Each of these units carries eight LEDS, identically labelled 1 to 8. By operating a push-button in manual mode, or using a clock in automatic, the eight LEDs light up in sequence

on the transmitter unit and obviously they should do the same on the receiver unit. In this way, just by watching the LED lighting cycle on the receiver unit, you can immediately spot any crossed wires, as well as any open circuits (the relevant LED never lights up) or shorts (two or more LEDs light at the same time). The transmitter unit circuit is simple` The Schmitt-input NAND gate lCl. A is wired as a multi-vibrator, whose speed can be adjusted using Pl, while lCl. B is wired as a simple debounce circuit for button 52, used in manual mode. Switch 51 lets you apply the output of one or the other of these to the input of lC3 ² a decade counter lC, which here we force to count up to eight by connecting its Q8 output back to its reset input. Its out Puts are not capable of driving LEDs, especially over wiring that be dangerous` for them (a short, for example), so a ULN2803 is used to drive the outputs. This integrated network of eight Darlington transistors, each capable of switching up to 500 mA, drives the eight LED5 fitted to the transmitter unit (D12-D19) and feeds its signals to the socket comprising contacts 01-08, to which the wiring to be tested must be connected. At the other end of the cable` via the socket comprising contacts l1-18, is the receiver unit which contains just eight LEDs (D20-D27) and their current limiting resistors. For the latter to work, there obviously needs to be a common connection between...
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.....
