Strain-gauge sensors transduce (convert) strain into an electrical signal for use in pressure sensors, weight measurements, force and torque measurements, and materials analysis. A strain gauge is simply a resistor, whose value varies with strain in....

The circuit features automatic Exit and Entry delays, timed Bell Cut-off and System Reset. It has provision for normally-open and normally-closed switches and will suit the usual input devices (Pressure Mats, Magnetic Reed contacts, Foil Tape, PIRs and....

This sensor switch circuit has nine channels and consist of only three integrated circuits and some resistors. Due to high input impedance, 74HC147 allows to use of 4. 7 M resistors to create a logic level "high" to sensor inputs. When one sensor is touched,....

There are 2 kinds of solar automatic tracking controllers. One is Schmitt trigger light control composed of a light sensor and a Schmitt trigger or monostable trigger. The second one is usingtwo light sensors and two comparators to form two light-control....

Some ultrasonic range finders for my project. But most of the commercial sensors like Parallax`s PING sensor and other similar products are quite expensive, especially if multiple units are needed. So I thought why not building it myself The theory behind....

One reason why commercial soldering stations are expensive is that, in general, they require the use of soldering irons with inbuilt temperature sensors,....

Here is one of the interesting 555 timer circuits to trick your friends while studying electronics in schools. Clap switch circuit is the local name of sound controlled flip flops. This sound controlled light can also be used as sound detection sensors. Flip....

Basically, the circuit consist of two balanced. Simple BFO metal detector. BFO ( beat frequency Ready assembled and tested circuit board Chip in the center is Pic 12F675 Passive detector uses the detector coil in a frequency depended part of a circuit, This....

Normally, home appliances are controlled by means of switches, sensors, etc. However, physical contact with switches may be dangerous if there is any shorting. The circuit described here requires no physical contact for operating the appliance. You just need....

The QT113 is a capacitance touch sensor. Unlike many touch sensors, it does not rely on AC line voltage to be present in the room. Instead, it detects the change in capacitance the closeness of your body produces. A 2" square sensor plate can detect the....

This rain detector electronic circuit project is an very simple alarm circuit, that will start an audio warning, if the liquid is present on the sense pad. This rain detector electronic circuit diagram is based on two transistors. When the sense pads....

This is one of the common circuit blocks being used both in digital and analog electronics. Its output is dependent on the relationship of its two input pins. One of the inputs is set to give the reference voltage while the other one is commonly connected to....

The remote control robot circuit is as shown in the figure. The figure 2-36(a) is the circuit diagram, the figure 2-36(b) is the operating timing diagram. The rotation process of the rebot is: in the circuit, the ultrasonic launching circuit is composed of....

There are situations in home automation applications where you would like to measure the level of some body of water (e. g. pool, pond). The 1-Wire network makes it easy to interface sensors to a PC or simple controller. Some experimenters use a string of....

This ion detector circuit detects static charges and free ions in the air. This ion detector circuit can be used for detecting presence of free ions, static electricity or high voltage leakage. Antenna used in this project is a short whip antenna and the R3....

When the resistance value of a temperature, light, pressure,? or any other resistive sensors? Rs drops below a certain point? (adjusted by a preset...

My final project, cycling rollers, requires a method of sensing the rotational speed of one of the rollers. Typically speed sensors on cycles work by detecting the passing of a magnet attached to a spoke on one of the wheels using a Hall Effect sensor or a....

Most of my circuits still use 5 V regulated power for the chips, because 8-bit microcontrollers run faster and some sensors require 5 V. Since 5 V is more than enough for even a white LED, I`m not concerned with the voltage needed by a particular LED in use.....

The liquid detector is a detector with liquid alternating voltage and can be built using some common electronic components. Voltage alternative for this circuit is made using a gate with Schmit trigger function, which works as an alternative power....

The eyes of the switch control system allow the microcontroller`s "brain" to know where the trains are located on the layout. This insures that only one train is on the main line at a time and that the switches are set so that the train returns to the proper....

Circuit diagram is a simple parking sensors, sensing the distance between where the rear bumper of the car and obstacles behind the car. In the circuit diagram there are two parts to the scheme and the scheme for the transmitter receiver. Distance can be....
