A blocking oscillator is one of the simplest form of oscillators which is able to produce self sustaining oscillations through the use of just a few passive and a single active component. The name “blocking” is applied due to fact that the switching of the main device in the form of a BJT is blocked […]

Make a Walkie Talkie Circuit using FM Radio
In this post I have explained how to make a simple homemade walkie talkie circuit using ordinary FM transmitters and FM radios. It’s a perfectly tested design by me. I could talk with my nephew who stays on first floor through a pair of these transmitters with crystal clear transmission. Overview In one of my […]
27 MHz Transmitter Circuit – 10 Km Range
The 10 km range, 27 MHz transmitter circuit explained here uses citizen’s band which consists of 2 main types of users: radio control (R/C) modellists and users of low-power FM transceivers for local communication. However, here it is designed and intended for testing antennas and aligning receivers. It is actually an AM/FM quartz controlled for […]
Surge Arrestor Circuit with Measuring Facility
In this post I have explained about a simple surge voltage protector circuit using a fuse and a triac crowbar circuit and also learn the method to record and measure the last maximum surge that could have destroyed the specified load in case the protection was not introduced. The idea was requested by Mr. Akram. […]
How to Interface Cellphone Display with Arduino
In this post we will be learning how to interface Nokia 5110 display with arduino microcontroller and how to display some text, we will also be constructing a simple digital clock and finally we will be exploring graphical capabilities of the Nokia 5110 display. By Nokia was the most popular mobile phone brand across […]
BJT Emitter-Follower – Working, Application Circuits
In this post I have explained how to use a transistor emitter follower configuration in practical electronic circuits, we study this through a few different example application circuits. An emitter follower is one of the standard transistor configurations which is also referred to as common collector transistor configuration. Let’s try to first understand what’s an […]
