There are two main advantages of this highly efficient flashlight circuit with long backup. Firstly, it uses only a single 1.5V AAA cell and illuminates a 3.3V LED. Secondly, the 1.5V cell is consumed by the LED until there’s virtually no charge left in it. Due to these features, this flashlight is able to last […]

Day/Night Triggered Automatic Door Lock Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple day, night triggered automatic door lock circuit, which can be used for autonomously unlocking a kennel door during day break, and locking it when night sets in. The idea was requested by an avid reader of this blog, Mr. Norman, as given below. Design Request and Specifications […]
Automatic Night Activated Wireless Light Circuit for Paintings
In this article I have explained a basic wireless LED light circuit that may be used to autonomously turn on LED lights to illuminate artworks at nighttime.
How to Connect and Use RCWL-0516 Microwave Motion Sensor
In this article I will comprehensively explain about the RCWL-0516 a microwave proximity motion sensor which uses Doppler radar. Here, I will elucidate the following points: What is RCWL-0516 It is yet another type of proximity motion sensor which can detect if someone has entered into an area, and raise an alarm or take an […]
About Me
Calling all engineers! Welcome to my website. I am Swagatam, but you can call me Swag. I am an electronic engineer by trade, but my passion lies in tinkering and inventing electronic circuits. I am also pretty handy with designing schematics and PCBs. If you are in Mumbai, you might know my small electronics firm, […]
GSR Sensor Circuit for Biofeedback Measurements
In this post I have explained how to build a very simple GSR sensor circuit using just a couple of transistors and a few other passive components. A GSR (Galvanic Skin Resistance) sensor, also known as a skin conductance or electrodermal activity sensor, measures the electrical conductance of the skin, which changes in response to […]
