Open source hardware association

Open source hardware association

I recently found a video explaining the open source hardware.

It’s good to see an association for the open source hardware community. You can be a member, support the association and keep yourself updated with  the technologies coming up in the open source world.

How to use an electret microphone

An electret is a permanently charged dielectric. It is made by heating a ceramic material, placing it in a magnetic field then allowing it to cool while still in the magnetic field. It is the electrostatic equivalent of a permanent magnet. In the electret microphone a slice of this material is used as a part of the dielectric of a capacitor in which the diaphram of a microphone forms one plate. Sound pressure moves one of its plates. The movement of the plate changes the capacitance. The electret capacitor is connected to an FET amplifier. These microphones are small, have excellent sensitivity, a wide frequency response and a very low cost.

Light dependent blinker using LDR and CD4093

Here’s a simple experiment with LDR and CD4093. This is just a modification of a previous project “dark sensor using 2 transistors”. In this project, the CD4093 is configured in such a way that whenever you block  light falling on LDR, the circuit starts blinking the LED D1.

The flasher circuit does not get power till there is enough light on LDR. The CD4093 circuit gets power via emitter of Q2- BC547 when you block light falling on LDR. (more…)
