PIR Burglar Alarm Circuit
The PIR burglar alarm explained here will detect a human intruder within the stipulated range and sound an alarm. Thus, the system could be effectively use for detecting trespassing, theft, intrusion, burglars, or any form of unlawful entry inside a restricted area or zone. Basic Principle The operating principle of the proposed burglar alarm circuit […]
Simple Ni-Cd Battery Charger Circuits Explored
In this post I have explained many simple NiCd charger circuits with an automatic overcharge protection and a constant current charging. When it comes to correctly charging a Nickel-Cadmium cell, it is strictly recommended that the charging process is halted or cut off as soon as it reaches the full charge level. Not following this […]
Remote Control using Mains Power Line Communication
The proposed circuit will allow you to remotely control a mains AC operated appliance across rooms of your home through mains power line communication or PLC concept. In PLC technology, an electronic circuit which works as a transmitter is plugged-in to the mains wiring (220 V or 120 V) injects a modulating high frequency data […]
Cup Full Indicator Circuit for the Visually Challenged
This circuit basically is a fluid level alarm indicator intended for alerting visually impaired individuals regarding the liquid level in a container such as cup, glass or bowl. The unit can be simply hooked up across the rim of any container with the probes such that it detects the full level liquid in it while […]
