A relay is an electrically operated switch. Current flowing through the coil of the relay creates a magnetic field which attracts a lever and changes the switch contacts. The coil current can be on or off so relays have two switch positions and they are double throw (changeover) switches. The relay’s switch connections are usually labeled COM(POLE), NC…
This is the most basic project for Arduino beginners. Almost everyone starts Arduino with this project. The output of this project is a blinking/flashing LED. Insert an LED on your breadboard and connect it to your Arduino using wires as shown on the image. We can also use the inbuilt LED present on the Arduino…
BuildCircuit has previously published a project on HCSR04 ultrasonic range finder module. You can checkout the article from this link. Now, we have another article on HCSR04. It is as simple as the previous project. HCSR04 ultrasonic range finder module: The HC-SRO4 is an ultrasonic sensor which uses sonar to detect objects at a distance…
Step 1: Download USBtinyISP driver software from Adafruit.com. Install the driver for the USBtiny device. Then, insert the new Atmega328P-PU chip on the DIL socket of Arduino board. Connect the USBtiny device to Arduino.

This is a 2 x 50W audio amplifier board with AudioB plus Bluetooth module. It has a perfect class-D architecture (based on TPA3116D2) and every channel has 50W power output. Both channels are capable of outputting nominal power simultaneously and continuously. This board can be powered by any DC 10V-24V power supply, it can be used to drive…
This is yet another project based on LM358. The LM158 series consists of two independent, high gain, internally frequency compensated operational amplifiers which were designed specifically to operate from a single power supply over a wide range of voltages. Operation from split power supplies is also possible and the low power supply current drain is independent…
In this tutorial we will learn how to change the color of an RGB LED connected to Arduino, alternating for two seconds the following colors: red, green, blue, and then orange, yellow, indigo and purple. It is similar to the previous  fade led effect experiment but it is not limited to only one LED but there…
Enable/Change The BT Pair number All of our Bluetooth audio amplifier boards and Bluetooth audio receiver boards use AudioB plus module as the core bluetooth receiver module. The default bluetooth name is “BT SPEAKER”. Maybe you want change it to a special name or add a password to this module. We just updated the AudioB plus design…
A breadboard is a device for testing temporary electronics projects. Components used to test a circuit can be reused for other projects. None of the components are damaged.
Almost all people start to learn electronics using breadboard because it is the simplest way of making circuit. The photograph shows a typical small breadboard which is suitable for beginners building simple circuits with one or two ICs (chips).
Light operated switch works with NE555 timer and light dependent resistor. It uses relay and toggle switch idea for operation.
