A "power button" that is actually two buttons; one on, one off. This needs to switch on the order of 15 V and up to 10 A, for a LiFePO4 battery powered device. I don`t want to use a hardwired switch where this is mechanical, because I later also want soft.... -
Designing and building a breadboard power supply for myself, which draws power from an ATX-like SMPS (Mains in, single Molex plug out) via a 4-pin Molex connector. The design includes a switch to select either 12V or 5V output, but the only appropriate.... -
Using a flywheel-driven permanent magnet DC generator to charge up a bank of supercapacitors, 35 farad rated to 25V. For safety I limit the max charge to 22V via a comparator and a zener reference. Because I have no stable reference voltage at all in in this.... -
The leads from the transformer to the circuit are quite long (>5m). Apparently the 110V side of the transformer was switched off somewhat frequently lately which likely caused a spike on the secondary (24V) side. The input pin of the LTC3631 has a visible.... -
Soft power switch for a microcontroller where a momentary switch can turn the circuit on (including microcontroller), and then when the switch is pushed a second time, the microcontroller can shut itself off after performing some clean up. I have the above.... -
A 12v battery is being charged from a solar panel. When battery is 12v solar panel is disconnected from battery and connect the load with battery. And again solar panel is connected with battery when battery voltage is say 10v. How to switch simply Which one.... -
The transistor shown is a P-channel MOSFET acting as a "high-side switch". More commonly, an N-channel MOSFET low-side switch is used, but what you have will work as long once you add something to the drain such as in this image of P-Channel MOSFET switch.... -
It should default on when first connected, but if a particular signal goes high for a small amount of time (say, 10 microseconds, ) then it should turn off, and stay off. It`s the "default on" that gives me trouble. The closest I can get is something like.... -
I have a 4 position slide switch according to the position of the slide switch, I should turn on different colored LEDs and also vary the output frequency of 555 timer in astable mode and drive a piezo buzzer. Problem : I cant use the same switch to control.... -
Charge a simple servo that only has + and - pins. Usually I would connect it`s - pin to the ground and + pin to the digital output from Arduino. This works, but the servo turns weakly and can be stopped by hand. If i connect the servo directly to the battery.... -
Designing a circuit that will use a combination of switches and resistors to allow a microcontroller to identify which switch was pressed based on the voltage read and perform a switch-specific action. The design that I`ve come up with involves using a.... -
As I am using a Common Cathode led-strip instead of a Common Anode one as used in the above link thus I came up with this `modified circuit`. Because my experience with FETs was nihil this didn`t actually work as I would need at least a voltage => Vcc to.... -
I opened remote of a RC car and extended wires out of backward, forward, left and right switches. So when I ground anyone of then the circuit completes andit sends signal to the car. I wanted to close the circuit using one of the I/O pins of BeagleBone.... -
A circuit such that the microcontroller can toggle a GPIO pin and shut the whole system (including microcontroller itself) down. And when the user presses a momentary button, the power is brought back up again. The circuit is normally powered down. When the.... -
The circuit described here requires no physical contact for operating the appliance. You just need to move your hand between the infrared LED (IR LED1) and the photo transistor (T1). The infrared rays transmitted by IR LED1 is detected by the photo.... -
This circuit is built around a 555 timer using very few components. Since the circuit is very simple, even a novice can easily build it and use it as a controlling device. A laser pointer, now easily available in the market, can be used to operate this.... -
A new type of remote control based on ultra sonic sound. The transmitter part of the circuit is build around IC1(NE 555). The IC1 is wired as an astable multi vibrator operating at 40KHz. The output of IC1 is amplifier the complementary pair of transistors (.... -
At times it`s really very annoying to see the street lights kept switched ON even during broad day light. The present circuit of an automatic night light can very effectively put an end to this problem. Read here how to build it. We all know how important it.... -

I am interested in creating an interactive LED gameboard of some kind (or even a sort of "Stargate" DHD-type sci-fi prop!), where each square or tile is lit up from below by either a single white LED or an RGB combo. It always occurred to me that I`d love it.... -
This 9-minute timer switch can be used to control the light in a toilet or bathroom. The timer is started by pushing S1 and stopped by pushing S1 again. If you forget to turn it off, the controlled light will go off after nine minutes. If you need the light.... -
An additional push-button switch is normally required for the ATX Power Switch/Soft Power Switch signal, but you can do without it if you use this simple circuit. It is an artful design, but it has been repeatedly tested. The zener diode is intended to.... -
Here`s a clap switch free from false triggering. To turn on/off any appliance, you just have to clap twice. The circuit changes its output state only when you clap twice within the set time period. Here, you`ve to clap within 3 seconds. The clap sound sensed....

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.....
