Voice/Audio Recorder Playback Circuits
In this article I have explained a single chip circuit which can be used for recording and playing back short voice clips or any audio clip ranging from 20 to 60 seconds. About the IC APR9600 The incorporated IC APR9600 is a programmable voice recorder chip which facilitates infinite number of recording/erase of audio files […]
Using a Fan Dimmer for Controlling LED Intensity
The circuit idea I have I have explained in this article can be used for controlling the intensity of many LEDs through a ceiling fan dimmer switch unit. This circuit was requested by Mr. Joseph who wanted a simple method through which an ordinary home dimmer switch could be integrated with a chain of LEDs for controlling its brightness from […]
How to Switch Two Batteries Manually using Opto Coupler
The following article explaining a dual battery changeover relay circuit was requested by Mr.Raja so that it could become possible to switch between his old and new inverter batteries automatically, eliminating manual interventions. Let’s read it in details. Technical Specifications “I bought a new 12v 110 Ah lead acid battery for the dc home lighting system. I had another 12v […]
Making a Multi-function Water Level Controller Circuit
The following multi-function water level controller circuit post is based on the suggestions expressed by Mr. Usman. I have explained more about the requested modifications and the circuit details. The Circuit Suggestion: The concept of this circuit looks good. May I suggest a couple of other desirable features? 1) To protect the motor from potential overheating (or […]
Simplest AM Radio Circuit
The following circuit was taken from an old electronic book, it is indeed a very nice little two transistor radio receiver circuit which utilizes very few components yet is able to produce output over a loudspeaker and not just over headphones. Circuit Operation As can be seen in the given circuit diagram, the design is […]
