Car Door Close Optimizer Circuit
In this post I have explained and tries to solve a common car door opening issue which may be seen in quite a few old model cars. The proposed circuit of a car door close optimizer was requested by Mr. Mark Rothwell. Technical Specifications Just stumbled across your site, hope you can help/advise me?I have […]
Lamp Outage Detector Circuit for Car Turn Signal
The O.E.M. turn signal flashing units installed in automobiles have two basic functions i.e. Flasher and Lamp outage detection. These flashers are usually built with an 8-pin IC like U2044B, U6432B etc. which are specifically made for automotive flashers. Designed and Written By Abu-Hafss Circuit Operation These flashers normally oscillate at about 1.4Hz. When a […]
Vehicle Speed Limit Alarm Circuit
In our previous articles we have learned comprehensively regarding the ICs LM2907/LM2917 which are fundamentally frequency to voltage converter ICs, and are ideally applicable in all such relevant fields. Here we see how the same chip can be applied for making a vehicle speed limit alarm circuit. Using a Single IC for Speed Detection As […]
Accurate Speedometer Circuit
Here we’ll see how a simple yet accurate analogue speedometer circuit can be constructed at home using just a single IC and a few external passive components. The speedometer can be universally used with all 2-wheeler, 3-wheeler, even in bicycles for indicating their speeds. Using Frequency to Voltage Converter In my previous article I have […]
Multi-spark CDI Circuit
In this post I have explained an enhanced multi-spark CDI circuit which is universally suited for all types of automobiles. The unit can be built at home and installed in a particular vehicle for achieving greater speed to fuel efficiency. The Circuit Concept The following diagram illustrates an enhanced version of a multi-spark CDI circuit. […]
