The rain alarm circuit is designed to alert individuals when it begins to rain. This circuit is based on a monostable multivibrator IC1. A sensor, connected to the trigger pin (pin 2) of IC1, can be made from resistor leads or small metal foil pieces. When the sensor detects rain, IC1 is triggered, activating the alarm. Additionally, when the rain ceases, the circuit automatically switches off. When rain falls on the sensor, the voltage at pin 2 drops below 1/3 of Vcc, prompting IC1 to generate a high output pulse at pin 3. Consequently, the transistor T1 connected to pin 3 conducts, causing the piezo buzzer attached to it to sound an alarm. An LED (D1) provides a visual indication of rainfall. The sensor can be customized according to individual preferences, and a model of the sensor is illustrated in the accompanying figure. The distance between the sensor's rails is minimized to enhance compactness and reliability.
The IC4822, or IC1, serves as the foundational element in the musical tone generation circuit. It operates by utilizing its internal components, including a tone generator and rhythm generator, to create a variety of musical outputs. The selection of tunes is facilitated through a simple interface, allowing users to choose from the pre-programmed melodies. The external components required for the circuit primarily include timing resistors and capacitors, which are essential for the proper functioning of the timing mechanism. Additionally, an audio frequency amplifier or driver circuit can be constructed using a few discrete components, such as transistors and passive elements, to enhance the output sound from the IC.
In the rain alarm circuit, the monostable multivibrator IC1 plays a crucial role in detecting changes in voltage caused by the rain sensor. The sensor's design is critical for its responsiveness; it should be sensitive enough to trigger the alarm with minimal rainfall. The configuration of the circuit allows for automatic reset once the rain stops, ensuring that the alarm system is efficient and user-friendly. The piezo buzzer serves as an effective output device, providing audible alerts, while the LED indicator enhances the circuit's functionality by offering a visual cue. The overall design emphasizes simplicity and reliability, making it suitable for various applications in rain detection.The heart of the circuit is an IC4822 named as IC1. IC4822 is a programmed ROM, which generates 16 musical tunes when it gets triggered. The main feature of this IC is that it has inbuilt tone generator, rhythm generator, modulator, oscillator, frequency divider and preamplifier. So a very few number of components have to be connected externally t o set up timing and to build an external AF amplifier/driver circuit. This musical bell provides a facility to select any of the 16 tones generated by IC 4822 (IC1). IC1 is a programmed ROM, popularly known as musical doorbell IC. This IC has an on-chip oscillator and preamplifier circuit. So a very few number of components have to be connected externally to set up the timing and to build up an external AF amplifier/driver circuit. We offer Raised And Furrow Seed Cum Fertilizer Drill & Planter. It is suitable for planting maize and garlic on ridges. The machine consists of 5 to 9 bottom ridger a hopper with 5 units of inclined plate metering mechanism, driving wheel and furrow openers.
The furrow openers with the help of lever are moved horizontally by a tractor operator at the end of each turn so as to place furrow openers on a southern side of east west ridge. Which is the requirement for planting of winter maize. Rain alarm circuit alerts the people when it begins to rain. The circuit is build around monostable multivibrator IC1. The sensor connected to trigger pin2 of IC1 is made from resistor leads or small metal foil pieces. When sensor detects rain, IC1 gets triggered and raises the alarm. Also when the rain stops, the circuit switches off autometically. When rain falls on the sensor, the voltage at pin2 goes below 1/3Vcc. Hence IC1 generates high output pulse at pin3. As a result transistor T1 connected to pin3 conducts and piezobuzzer connected to it sounds an alarm.
LED D1 gives the visual indication that the rain falls. One can make a suitable sensor according to one`s choice. A model of the sensor is shown in figure. The distance between the rails is made as small as possible so as to have a more compact and reliable sensor. 🔗 External reference
