The proposed push button timer circuit module can be directly integrated with any existing switch contacts of a lamp and enable the lamp to be converted into a timer controlled lamp. A common problem arises whenever one wants to replace a mains AC lamp controlled by a switch with a timer or a time switch. […]
Timer and Delay Relay
Delay OFF Lamp Timer Circuit
This delay off lamp timer circuit will automatically switch OFF a connected lamp after a predetermined time has elapsed. This time delay can be adjusted with a variable resistor or a potentiometer. The circuit is initiated by pressing a push button, which causes the connected lamp to switch ON. The lamp will continue to remain […]
Make this Drag Race Timer Circuit
In this post we are going to build a drag race timer circuit using a 7 segment display and commonly available discrete components which can measure the time taken for a car or any other vehicle from start line to finish line. The proposed circuit is fully automatic, meaning it can start and stop the […]
Cellphone Controlled Plant Watering Circuit
In this article I have explained a couple of circuits that will allow automatic watering of plants and flower pots, even while the owner of the house is away from home, and the house is locked for many days. The first method is through a sound activated system which detects the sound from a cellphone […]
Arduino 2-Step Programmable Timer Circuit
In this article I have explained how to make a simple 2-step Arduino programmable timer circuit, which can be used to switch an electrical load ON/OFF with independently adjustable ON and OFF timings. For example if you want a light to remain ON for 24 hours and OFF for 2 hours, you can simply do […]
Simple Digital Timer Circuit with 2 Digit Display
This simple digital timer circuit can be used to obtain timing output through selectable ranges, which can be set from 0 to 99 second, with 1 second interval, 0 to 990 seconds with 10 second interval, and 0 to 99 minutes with 1 minute interval. All these timing outputs can be visualized and tracked through […]
