The circuit presented here is a LED dimmer with a soft-start function. The board can drive a LED up to 12W and the circuit can manage a load up to 1A continuous with 12Vsupply. The circuit is built using SG3525 PWM IC and the IRFR120 MOSFET, SG3525 generates the PWM, and IRFR120 MOSFET drives the 12W max load. BC847…
I was testing a couple of low-cost laser diodes that come from china and I was wondering why those diodes don’t have any protection/driver circuitry. Those diodes come with a simple series resistor for current control which is not a good idea nor stable.
Optically isolator Arduino Shield has been designed to provide optically isolated I2C communication between Arduino and any other device or sensors that works with I2C protocols. I have used the ISO1540 Low-Power Bidirectional I2C Isolator IC from Texas Instruments to build this project, and the device is compatible with I2C interfaces.
Dark Sensitive Lamp controller project switches a load connected to it when light falling on LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) goes bellow set point. It could be used as an automatic street light application. The project is based on Triac and doesn’t requires additional DC supply, it works directly on 230VAC. FEATURES Mains supply input 230…
This is a different type of digital dice. We have previously seen electronic dice with 7 LEDs. In this project, we have a seven-segment display, not LEDs. When you press the tactile switch the numbers increase from 0 to 9, and when the switch is released it stops at a random number. Using the 2…
This is yet another electronic dice project from Jaycar. When you press the RED button on the PCB, all 7 LEDs flash for a while and the LEDs that stay on will represent numbers between 1 and 6. This is a basic learning kit for electronic beginners. Basic soldering skill is enough to build the…
This is yet another NE555 based DIY kit for electronics beginners. A long time ago, I had published this project on this page: https://www.buildcircuit.com/sound-generator/ The electronic kit presented in this article is exactly the same circuit that I had published previously. The circuit is an astable mode timer. The output frequency of the NE555 varies…
This is a great kit to learn the basics of soldering. The Sparkfun ClockIt is a basic alarm clock with buzzer based on the ever-popular ATMega328. If you’re just learning how to solder, this kit should take you 15-20 minutes. If you’re a weathered pro at soldering, this is a great relaxing build that should…
SEE ALL THE PHOTOS ON FLICKR This post shows you how to build the Amarino evaluation shield. When you buy the shield package, you will get the following components. Fully assembled kit is now available on buildcircuit.net. The PCB: PCB clearly shows the pin and component names, so, it should help you to get idea of…
This is a basic up and down counter module for Arduino enthusiasts CD4029 is a presettable binary/decade up and down counter chip. Scoreduino app has a feature to control the CD4029 based up and down counter module. You can connect the CD4029 counter module to Arduino and send up and down signals via Bluetooth. It…

One can find an extensive variety of electronic component products here. Among various high-quality products, Utsource is best known for its electronic components and devices.
I found this small kit on Ebay. The kit is pretty easy to assemble. The following video shows the assembly steps. The kit actually turns on the LED when you press switches, 1, 4, 7, and 9. That’s it.
This is yet another TDA2030A based audio amplifier DIY kit. The kit is retired and not so popular these days. An excellent tutorial on this kit is published on this website.
This is yet another digital clock DIY kit for electronics beginners. I have previously published several posts related to the digital clock. This kit is no different from those kits, it also displays time and the additional functions and temperature display and alarm. It also has a photoresistor which makes it sensitive to ambient light,…
This digital clock kit looks very much similar to this kit, the kit is actually slightly advanced than the previous kit. It has enough functionalities like any other regular clock. It is very accurate. It is an easy to build kit and perfect to start to develop your soldering skills. It uses the chip AT89C2051.
If you have come to this page directly from a search engine, visit this page first to know about this DIY digital clock kit. This assembly tutorial explains how to assemble the DIY digital clock kit. You will get the following components in the kit package: You will need basic soldering skills to assemble the…
This is a simple wrist watch DIY kit for electronics hobbyists. Anyone with basic soldering experience can build the kit. This is a copy of Solder:Time watch kit from https://www.spikenzielabs.co. It uses DS1302 clock chip.
This is yet another post related to LM317. The LM317 device is an adjustable three-terminal positive-voltage regulator capable of supplying more than 1.5 A over an output-voltage range of 1.25 V to 37 V. It requires only two external resistors to set the output voltage. The device features a typical line regulation of 0.01% and…
The KA2284 is a monolithic integrated circuit designed for 5-dot LED level meter drivers with a built-in rectifying amplifier. It is suitable for AC/DC level meters such as VU meters or signal meters.
