An Easy 555 EC Sensor!

Aware that a particular circuit is needed to measure electrical conductivity (EC) of  a liquid. Since the conduction of current through a water solution is mainly dependent on the concentration of dissolved ionic substances such […]

Avalanche Pulse Generator – An Introduction

This prefatory article focuses on Avalanche pulse generators commonly used to generate fast rise time pulses. Often fast pulses are required when measuring slew rate or propagation delay, and for sampling. Fortunately, avalanche breakdown of […]

Micro Cooling Fan Governor

The Digispark Attiny85 development board is not only for novices – it’s also a tiny but great microcontroller development board for matured electronicists. Sure, the Digispark board offers almost everything you need i.e. digital I/Os […]

Poor man’s Bluetooth Microphone

A family party or a small get together, we all need some stunning music there to lighten up the festive mood. Well, today I’m going to talk about a simple do-it-yourself project that will give […]

An Isolated Power MOSFET Switch

I volunteered to design a simple and inexpensive isolated power mosfet switch to control some electric loads by a ‘pulsed’ low-voltage input signal. There are of course superb solid state relays (SSRs) that we could […]

The Mysterious Laser Receiver Sensor Module!

This article introduces a laser receiver sensor module available on the web. The module, named “Laser Receiver Module Non-modulator Tube Laser Sensor Module”, comes as a cheap module usually without a user guide. So it […]

Rotary Encoder Primer

There seems to be a lot of confusion among electronics hobbyists about how a rotary encoder (knob) works and how to use it with electronics projects. Today, we’ll be examining a very cheap and easily […]

Compact Anti-Snatch Alarm

In this article you can see an ultra simple circuit of a lightweight, truly portable, and compact anti-snatch alarm. This trembler alarm is battery operated and features a tone generator capable of drawing quick attention […]
