This simple refrigerator protector circuit is actually a delay ON timer circuit which makes sure that whenever a power failure occurs or in case abrupt power fluctuations take place, the refrigerator is never allowed to switch ON instantly, rather after a delay of a few moments. Conventional Protection Features Today most modern refrigerators are equipped […]

How Electret Microphones Work – Full Tutorial and Diagram
In this post I have explained how electret microphone devices work, through appropriate diagrams and formulas. What’s a Microphone A microphone is a device designed for transforming weak sound vibrations into tiny electrical pulses, which can be then amplified through a power amplifier over a loudspeaker for achieving a louder reproduction of the sound. The […]
Laser Activated GSM Call Alert Security Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple laser GSM call alert security circuit which immediately calls the master as soon as an intruder is detected through a laser beam interruption. The idea was requested by Mr. Roldan. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I am not an electronic engineer, but I can manage to troubleshoot minor […]
7 Best Touch Sensor Switch Circuits Explored
In this post I have explained 8 easy methods of building touch sensor switch circuits at home, which can be used for switching 220 V appliances ON/OFF with mere finger touch operat ions. The first one is a simple touch sensor switch using a single IC 4017, the second one employs a Schmidt trigger IC, […]
Make this Digital Temperature, Humidity Meter Circuit using Arduino
In our previous article, I have explained how to interface temperature humidity sensor with arduino and read out displayed on serial monitor of arduino IDE. In this post I have explained how to display the reading on a 16×2 LCD display for the proposed digital temperature/humidity meter using Arduino. Introduction This project may be used […]
Interfacing DHTxx Temperature Humidity Sensor with Arduino
In this article we are going to take a look at DHTxx series sensors, which is used for measuring temperature and humidity, both the functionality is integrated into one module. We are going to see their specification, so that you can choose best sensor for your project and finally we are going to interface it […]
