The circuit in Figure 1a and Figure 1b are the schematics of an ultrasonic proximity detector. It has a maximum detection range of approximately 6 ft. When someone passes in front of the ultrasonic transceiver board, the contacts of relay K1 will close. The.... -
In this project we`re going to use use two wires, in this project, we use one red and the other blue, which serve as the touch sensor wires. When a person touches both wires, the circuit is then closed and current runs through the circuit and lights the LED..... -
There are 2 ways to build a protximity detector. One is mount the IR LED and the phototransistor so that they face each other. Then the infrared light is detected by the phototransistor. If an object comes between the IR LED and the phototransistor, the.... -
Mechanical contacts have the disadvantage that they wear out. That is why it is practical to use an electronic touch switch` in some situations. With such a touch switch the resistance of the human skin is used for the switching action. The schematic shows.... -
Consumer appliances these days hardly ever have a proper mains switch. Instead, appliances are turned on and off at the touch of a button on the remote control, just like any other function. This circuit shows how a device (as long as it does not draw too.... -

The challenge of this project is to create a model of a capacitive touch screen, including physical modeling of a user`s finger, the touch screen materials, and the touch-detection circuitry. A capacitive touch screen works by measuring the change in.... -
For this special Halloween project we built a spooky candy bowl that lights up when an unsuspecting trick-or-treater reaches in. While devices like these do exist, many of them use complicated proximity sensors to spring their trap. Here at NerdKits we enjoy.... -
We always like to use Halloween as a chance to show off neat homemade electronics to the general public. In this special Halloween video tutorial, we have recreated the idea behind a musical instrument called the theremin, and built one into a Halloween.... -
.jpg "Inductive Proximity Sensors")
The inductive sensor is a simple enough device at the fundamental level. It is simply a coil of wire with a current passing through it. It completely ignores most objects which pass near this coil. However, when a metallic object passes near it, it acts as a.... -
The Proximity Sensor circuit can be seen below. Three red boxes show the additions to the circuit that we already built in Part 2: Motor Control. The new parts used and seen in the schematic below are the GP2Y0A21YK IR Sensor, Headphone Speaker and some.... -

As shown in figure, the proximity switch circuit is composed of HMC1001, operational amplifier (AMP04) and light emitting diode (LED). The operational amplifier is used as a comparator. When you move magnet with length being 6mm~12mm to HMC1001 in a.... -
Human infrared thermal release alarm can receive the heat releasing infrared ray issued by the body during the day or night, then it willgive the sound and light alarm. It is ideal for electronic guard. Working principle: The circuit uses imported IC,.... -
The picture shows the proximity switch circuit composed of the HMC1001 and operational amplifier (AMP04) and light emitting diode (LED). The operational amplifier is used as a comparator here. If taking a magnet with length about 6mm~12mm to close to the....

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.... -
