A continuously working wiper in a car may prove to be a nuisance, especially when it is not raining heavily. By using the circuit described here one can vary sweeping rate of the wiper from once a second to once in ten seconds The circuit comprises two timer....

This time delay relay circuit is built with IC NE/SE555, produced by Intersil which contains a precision timer. Stability to temperature variations is 0.00....

Terminology TS555 a single CMOS timer which offers very low power consumption and high frequency where the timing remains very accurate in monostable or astable mode while providing reduced supply current spikes during output transitions, which enables the....

Repeater or other unattended equipment can be turned on or off with ordinary telephone Phone at remote station is called and allowed to ring three times Caller then hangs up, waits 20 s, redials number and lets it ring three times again, then hangs up.....

I use a 12V 20W halogen lamp (MR16) and a 4. 2Ah SLA battery for my bike light system. The battery has only limited life at this power rating, so I designed this cheap light dimmer to reduce the battery drain and allow for longer rides at night. Based on a....

A Simple Transistorized one Minute Delay Timer Circuit. It doesn`t include any complex or critical parts. You can use this circuit to generate a time delay of about one minute. That is, When you press the switch (Push button type is preferred) the LED turns....

The 7555 timer IC used is a low power version of the standard 555 timer. A ‘superbright red LED is used because this provides a bright flash with a low current. Th....

This particular timing circuit can be used to time one-shot events from a few seconds to a few hours. And in standby mode (ie, with RLY1 and LED1 off), its power consumption is very low. The heart of this circuit is a low-cost CMOS 4011 quad NAND gate, with....

So this is a bit of a continuation on my 555 timer based PWM controllers, but now using microcontrollers and MOSFETs instead of 555 ICs and transistors. I made 2 versions, one with switches for speeding up and down and the other with a potentiometer like the....

edit - There are information not included in this main post. Read through the thread for more information on timer calibration and other useful information by cpfers. - PEU pointed out the TX to be connected to serial port pin 2 instead of 3. This now....

The circuit generates this type of Geo-magnetic-fields and lets us perceive them: in this manner our brain is surrounded by an ideal environment for a sound sleep. With SW2 opened (Alternate mode operation) the device operates for the pre-set time, then....

and C code for a PIC frequency counter operating up to about 50MHz. The project uses an HD47880 LCD for the display and uses timer 1 to count edges of the input signal....

The purpose of this circuit is that of power a lamp or other apparatus for a given time (30 minutes in this case), and then to turn it off. It`s useful when reading at bed by night, turning off the bedside lamp automatically in case the reader falls asleep.....

If you have a servo and you wan`t to test it and you do not have a remote control to do that, or want a tester to test it you can try making the following schematic of servo tester. You can se is based on a 555 timer. The circuit is very simple and cheap to....

This is a simple single-zone burglar alarm. The basic design includes automatic Exit and Entry delays. It doesn`t include a siren cut-off timer. But with A Small Modification - you can add one to the circuit. The alarm will accept the usual types of....

Assortment of Siren Circuits. This month I am making 3 different types of siren circuits based on the 555 timer.  The first circuit simulates the siren of a British police car. It uses two...

This circuit uses just two CMOS IC`s, a 4011 quad 2 input NAND gate, and a 4020 14-stage ripple binary counter. At switch on R2 and C2 provide a brief reset pulse, which will ensure the output pin Q1 of the 4020 is high. Gates U1 and U2 form a simple astable....

This simple 12VDC to 220VAC inverter circuit produces an AC output at line frequency and voltage. The 555 is configured as a low-frequency oscillator, tunable over the frequency range of 50 to 60 Hz by Frequency potentiometer R4. The 555 feeds its output....

The adjustment control for the contrast of an LC-Display is typically a 10-k potentiometer. This works fine, provided that the power supply voltage is constant. If this is not the case (for example, with a battery power supply) then the potentiometer has to....

To do this, I want to push a button to initiate the timer, which will then light 3 x leds. After each 5 minute segment is up, one of the LEDs should go out. Finally, when 15 mins is up, I want to ring a bell (just once) using a solenoid. Trouble is - I don`t....

This is a basic single-zone burglar alarm circuit. Its features include automatic Exit and Entry delays - and an optional Siren Cut-Off timer. It has an extremely small standby current. This makes it ideal for battery-powered operation. Use it in your....

In order to start the timining you have 2 possibilities: you either connect the START point to ground GND and in this case the timer starts when you connect it to the voltage supply or you can place a switch to start it...

This 555 timer circuit temperature monitoring system electronic project can be monitor temperature in up to four points. Using this 555 timer circuit temperature monitoring system electronic project can be choose if the alarm should be triggered when....

The schematic for this project isn`t too, too bad to look at even though it`s not the best drawing/layout for a schematic that I`ve ever done. The basic flow is from left to right. Left side is the state machine, then the 555 timers, then counter circuitry....

This electronic circuit uses a 555 timer as the bases of the touch switch. You can learn more about 555 timers in the Learning section on my site. When the plate is touched the 555 timer is triggered and the output on pin 3 goes high turning on the LED and....

This is a single zone alarm - with independently adjustable Exit, Entry and Siren Cut-Off timers. It will accommodate the usual types of normally-closed input devices - such as magnetic-reed contacts, foil tape and PIRs. If you wish - you can use a mains....

Using a 555 with perhaps a 4029, and I would add a 4511, then connect the pins (using resistors of course), of the bargraph leds, to "a-g" pins of the 4511. To top it all off the graphs I received are all common anode, which is a pain because I`m not too....

The circuit was designed to produce a circuit that will alarm a sleeping person to prevent snoring by using a vibrator instead of an audio alert so as not....
