Dancing Lights

Posted by ganesh at 4:58 AM

Sunday, December 21, 2008


Here is a simple circuit which can be used for decoration purposes or as an indicator. Flashing or dancing speed of LEDs can be adjusted and various dancing patterns of lights can be formed.The circuit consists of two astable multivibrators. One multivibrator is formed by transistors T1 and T2 while the other astable multivibrator is formed by T3 and T4. Duty cycle of each multivibrator can be varied by changing RC time constant. This can be done through potentiometers VR1 and VR2 to produce different dancing pattern of LEDs. Total cost of this circuit is of the order of Rs 30 only. Potentiometers can be replaced by light dependent resistors so that dancing of LEDs will depend upon the surrounding light intensity. The colour LEDs may be arranged as shown in the Figure

Audio Video Transmitter Kit

Posted by ganesh at 4:21 AM


If it is desired to connect a video signal originating from a camera or other video source to a normal TV set, you will need this modulator. The audio and video signal is converted into a UHF TV signal so that the signal can be received through the TV antenna input. In certain countries (find out from your national telecommunications authority) it is permitted to use this modulator as a mini-transmitter by connecting a small antenna to it. With this facility it is possible to receive the signal from the video recorder or camera elsewhere within your home (range ~100'). The kit comes complete with housing and antenna connector.

The logger records the start and stop time of ALL outgoing calls along with the number dialed (plus any other digits pressed during the call). There is no limit to the number of key presses it will log. It operates “stand alone” – no need for any connection to a PC. Telephone call data is output in a format that can be easily imported into Microsoft Excel. Various Excel functions can then be used to analyze and sort the data and produce formatted printouts. Data is stored in non-volatile EEPROM memory, so there is no loss of data in the event of a power failure - DIY KIT 164.

Bi-directional DC Motor Speed Controller (Kit or Assembled)

Posted by ganesh at 3:48 AM


This DC motor controller kit allows controlling the speed of a DC motor in both the forward and reverse direction using pulse-width modulation (PWM). The range of DC motor control is from fully OFF to fully ON in both directions. Turning the pot in the other direction causes the DC motor to spin in the opposite direction. The center position on the pot is OFF, forcing the motor to slow and stop before changing direction. See our one direction DC Motor Controller.
Specifications:
L: 3-3/4" W: 1-5/8" H: 1".
Motor Speed Controlled via a potentiometer.
For DC motors 12 to 32 Volts DC @ 5 Amps as constructed. The IRFZ44 Mosfets can handle up to a maximum 49Amps, but PCB trace capacity would have to be beefed up with some hookup wire (underneath the PCB) soldered between the MOFSET pins and the screw terminal blocks. If you are running beyond 5 Amps and the MOFSETS are getting hot, bigger heatsinks should be used. You can also dissipate heat with a cooling fan directed over the heat sinks.
Requires operating voltage of 6 - 32 VDC.(Need a Power Supply?)
This PWM DC motor controller circuit can be used for generating hydrogen, build your own fuel cell station. More common uses include controlling DC motors in golf carts, buggies, RC cars, robotics, DC hobby motors, toy DC motors, etc.

Sound Activated Relay Switch

Posted by ganesh at 3:21 AM



This mini-VOX - voice operated relay - is based on a circuit published in Silicon Chip, 9/1994, p31. We have improved it by putting an on-board Koa potentiometer in order to adjust the sensitivity. The idea behind a VOX is that instead of the user pressing a switch to activate a relay, the sound of the users voice itself activates the relay. This gives hands-free control over devices like lights and tape recorders. Relay stays on for 1 or 5 seconds (depending on components used) then shuts off. Different time values can be realized by using different value components (read k126.pdf for more information).
Specifications:
L: 2-1/4" W: 1-1/4" H: 5/8"
Requires 12 VDC Power Supply(Need a Power Supply?)
Current drain when off is 5-7mA and 35mA when activated
Relay output rated at 12/24VDC/1A (more info on how relays work)
Microphone can be connected on leads up to 2 feet away from the PCB.
Off time delay adjustable by changing component values.
