Sensors and Detectors

In this post I have explained a simple deep under soil metal detector circuit for evaluating hidden metals such as gold, iron, tin, brass etc by detecting change in the resistance of the relevant soil layers. Bigger physical objects which might be buried within the topsoil could be unveiled through a modification in the electrical […]

In this article, I will show how to construct a couple of easy Arduino temperature meter circuits which can be also used as a LED room thermometer circuit. The circuit is designed to display the readings in doted/bar LEDs. This project can be implemented for applications where ambient temperature plays a crucial role or it […]

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, […]

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 […]

A very simple touch free faucet circuit or touch free automatic tap circuit can be built using as little as an IC 555 and a few passive components, in order to implement a contact less water supply operation from the attached facet or the tap. Drinking Water is Precious Pure drinking water which we normally […]

In this article we are going to see, what force sensing resistor is, their construction, specification and finally how to interface it with Arduino microcontroller. We will also study a couple of comparator circuits based on 741 and LM311 ICs, for operating a relay using force sensitive resistor. What is Force Sensing Resistor A force […]
