The circuit explained here employs a rather different approach for implementing a touch operated switch action. Here instead of the resistance, the warmth of the finger is used for sensing and operating the circuit’s output. Irrespective of the ambient conditions, our hands and fingers mostly exhibits some extra warmth or increase in the level of […]

Make this Temperature Indicator Circuit with Sequential LED Display
In some of my earlier articles we have seen a few simple and interesting temperature indicator circuits, in this article we will try to upgrade one of them into a sequential form. All these circuits are useful in some or the other ways, however these are not equipped with step wise temperature level indicator arrangement […]
Single IC Piezo Driver Circuit – LED Warning Indicator
The single IC piezo driver with LED explained here can be used as a warning indicator device in conjunction with some sensor for generating an audible as well as a visual indication. How the Circuit Functions The circuit of this piezo cum LED driver, warning indicator circuit utilizes just a single chip RE46C101 from microchip, […]
Simple LDR Motion Detector Alarm Circuit
Here I have explained how to build a simple LDR based motion detector sensor circuit using ordinary parts such as LDRs and opamps, reasonably accurately. What are Motion Detectors Motion detector or sensor alarm is a device which detects the presence of a motion or movement within a certain fixed range and raises an alarm […]
Vibration Meter Circuit for Detecting Vibration Strength
In this article I have explained a couple of simple vibration meter circuits which can detect and measure the strength of mechanical vibrations. Video Clip demonstrating the Vibration meter working The proposed circuits are built using transistors and also with an IC for getting a bar graph LED sequence for the level indications. The bar […]
9 Simple Metal Detector Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained 9 simple metal detector circuits using LC tuned concept, magnetic absorption concept, and the beat frequency oscillator (BFO) concept. The BFO technique is considered to be the most accurate and reliable methods of detecting metals. 1) Metal Detector Circuit Using a Single UJT The first metal detector circuit shown […]
