Inground Uplighter (AC230V LED Flasher)
Why use an inground uplighter (buried uplight)? The answer is simple – when lighting a static object with a buried uplight its visual impact can be stunning, whilst no one pays attention to that minuscule […]
Automatic Thermo Fan Switch
Thermo fans are an important part of thermal management for high-power electronics because when the temperature increases, performance can suffer, and beyond the point where performance degradation begins, excessive temperature causes catastrophic damage to delicate […]
Dancing Slime – DIY Kid’s Electronics
What is sound energy and how does it interact with a non-Newtonian fluid (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid)? This is just an attempt to get a variety of non-Newtonian materials “dancing” on a subwoofer using sound waves. Inspiration – […]
Arduino Automatic Wake & Halt Switch
Nowadays you can see many dc power supply modules equipped with an additional remote-controlled shutdown (or on/off) feature. It allows you to control the power supply output with a signal switch or transistor. Some time […]
Start & Restart Timer Switch (Quick & Easy Spike/Surge Guard)
You cannot prevent the power grid from going down and up, but you can take steps to ensure that an electrical disturbance does not take your sensitive electronics devices down with it. When power is […]
Self-Dimming LED Lamp
Described here is the do-it-yourself project of a simple self-dimming lamp. The self-dimming lamp is powered by a rechargeable 9V battery and features a push-button switch that triggers one bright LED as the emitter and […]
Power Sequencer – Little Design Ideas
The power sequence is the sequence in which the power is applied and shut down between steps in a sequence. A power sequence is used when there are devices with different power supply voltages mixed […]
Power MOSFET Module for Microcontroller
In many posts, we saw how to use a common transistor as an electronic switch to drive power loads of voltage and current mightier than those we could deliver with the I/Os of a standard […]
Model Rocket Launch Controller
Most commercial model rocket launch controllers available to buy are either expensive or do not have desired features. After a lot of Googling, I found nothing that fits my little budget. Actually, I wanted a […]
Electronic Signal Selector Switch Module
If you’re an audiophile, often you have to purchase rotary audio input selector switches for your home audio projects. You can of course buy such selector switches and selector switch modules via usual online channels […]
