One of the first lessons that an electronics student learns is that an LED provides light from current flow. But, did you know that an LED put in backwards provides current flow from light Yes! It`s true. Hook up a high-quality ultra-bright red LED by itself.... -
Figure shows a simplified representation of the Earth`s dipole field, it resembles the field due to a bar magnet. The field lines originate at the south magnetic pole and terminate at the north magnetic pole. The angle that this field makes when it.... -
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.... -
This small water sensor alarm circuit makes a loud warning sound when a humidity sensor detects a quantity of water. This circuit assembly is an application of low power comparator LM1801 made by National Semiconductor. The reference voltage for the.... -
The Motion Sensor Switch circuit is a motion sensor controlled automatic water sprinkler but you can easily add an alarm/light function too. Before beginning the construction contact your nearest electronics component vendor and procure a readymade box-type.... -
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.... -
SB0061 is a pyroelectric sensor module,developed for human body detection. A PIR detector combined with a fresnel lens are mounted on a compact size PCB together with an analog IC (SB0061) and limited components to form the module. High level output (3.3V).... -
See as the circuit, it consists of the infrared sensor control circuit, relay control circuit, music generating circuit and so on, which can be used in infrared alarm, timing control and other spots.... -
No matter what kind it is, passive human body infrared sensor circuits are almost the same with the above, maybe some has less stages. This circuit in the figure is got from the NICERA producer, which is classical. The stage of front-end is the low frequency.... -
The circuit uses a Hall-effect sensor, which consists of an IC that resides in a small gap in a flux-collector toroid, to measure dc current from 1 to 40 A. Wrap the current-carrying wire through the toroid; the Hall voltage VH is then linearly proportional.... -
741 opamp is connected as audio oscillator with Radio Shack 276-677 photocells in feedback circuits. When light strikes PC1, its resistance decreases and frequency of audio tone in headphone decreases correspondingly. When light strikes PC2, which is.... -
Pyroelectric infrared sensor head is same with the figure. When it detects the human body infrared signal in guarding zone, the sensor head will output a positive jump pulse signal, this signal is added to input terminal P point. IC1 adopts 555 time base.... -
This DIY magnetic field sensor circuit is very simple and can detect fixed magnetic fields or fields that are varying at an audio frequency. The unit is not intended to provide accurate measurement of magnetic field strength. A small and not very powerfull.... -
This circuit includes micro vibration sensor, trigger delay circuit and control circuit, the figure is as shown. The micro vibration sensor contains vibration sensor device and high power amplifier circuit, it can induce very weak external vibration signal,.... -
The figure is a schematic circuit of UV sensor. When UV sensor is coupled by voltage between the cathode and anode, and the UV radiation gets through the quartz glass tube on the cathode of the optical surface, because of the cathode material coated with.... -
To use the circuit you will need a wind vane like the one shown. It should have a weighted front end and an air paddle in the rear. Attach a small, strong magnet to the front part of the wind-vane arm. Then, position eight reed magnetic switches in a circle....

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.....
