3 Simple Frequency Counter Circuits Discussed
In this post we are going learn how to construct 3 different frequency counter circuits using ordinary components and ICs which will showcase the measured frequency on 7 segment displays. The first circuit which uses 4026 ICs can measure frequencies up to 1 MHz and the circuit is user calibrated. We will Learn About: Block […]
4 Automatic Day Night Switch Circuits Explained
The 4 simple light activated day night switch circuits explained here can all be used for controlling a load, normally a 220V lamp, in response to the varying levels of the surrounding ambient light. The circuit can be used as a commercial automatic street light control system, as a domestic porch light or corridor light […]
3 Glittering LED Christmas Tree Light Circuits Explored
In this post we present 3 circuit ideas for creating beautiful Christmas tree light decorations. The first idea explains a transistorized flashing blinking LED string light which can be mounted on a Christmas tree. The second circuit diagram describes an LED light effect generator which can be also installed over a real Christmas tree for […]
Simple Timer Circuit Using IC 4060
In this post I have explained how to build a simple yet accurate timer circuit using the IC 4060 and some ordinary passive components. Main Advantage of using IC 4060 as the Timer IC I have already discussed this IC comprehensively in one of my previous articles, everything regarding its pin outs have been discussed […]
