In this article we study the microwave sensor IC KMY 24 and try to understand its main features and its pinout implementation details. How Doppler Sensor KMY24 Works The KMY24 microwave sensor module is designed and built on the concept of Doppler effect. When correctly configured it radiates a low power microwave signal of around […]
Sensors and Detectors
Simple Digital Clock using LM8650 IC Circuit
The digital time clock explained here is a circuit which most electronic amateurs would love to make. You might have heard about digital clocks made from clock ICs such as the popular LM8361, MM5387 etc but these ICs could be today quite obsolete and/or complex to build. Circuit Operation The present design is much easier […]
Differential Temperature Detector/Controller Circuit
The circuit identifies and detects the temperature difference between two sensors and activates a relay when the temperature is not identical on these differently positioned sensors. By: Manisha Patel It’ll also enable you to detect a difference in temperature, although the temperature sensing devices can be set are discretely, using a potentiometer. Operational Details To […]
Tuned Infrared (IR) Detector Circuit
The article is a continuation of the earlier post where we tried to find a solution for creating unique infrared IDs for trains in a model locomotive system. Here I have explained the application in detail and learn how it may be possible to successfully implement the idea using tuned IR detector circuits. The idea […]
Simple Shadow Sensor Alarm Circuit
This shadow detector circuit operates using two LDRs and effectively detects the difference between the light levels and triggers a loud audible warning siren. In circuits which uses a single LDR (photoresist), the detection may not be as sharp as with two LDRs discussed here.Operational details of the shadow detector circuit may be studied as […]
Morse Code Flasher Circuit for Lighthouse
In this post I have explained a simple morse code lamp flasher circuit which may be used for model lighthouse signalling applications. The idea was requested by Mr. Frank Gardner. Technical Specifications I am in need of a unique flashing circuit. I have built several exact scale models of the light house at Yerba Buena […]
