Infrared sensor with PWM

Description: In this project, Arduino first encodes the remote signals and decodes them to control LED brightness. First of all, connect the Infrared sensor as shown in the picture below. Then, press keys 0 through 4; Arduino stores the values for keys 0 through 4 and when the sketch runs, key 0 turns off the…

RC module

Description: An RC circuit is used to introduce time delay in circuits. A combination of resistor and capacitor gives a time constant. The following circuit shows a basic RC circuit. In the figure C1(100uF) works as a storage capacitor. When you press the switch, the capacitor charges quickly and provides base current to the transistor…

Multivibrator module

Description: A multivibrator has identical components(capacitors, transistors and resistors) arranged on the left and right hand sides that can be used to implement a variety of simple two-state systems such as oscillators, timers and flip-flops. In a multivibrator circuit, increasing the value of the two electrolytic capacitors increases the time each LED remains on/off.
