DIY KIT 65- NE555 based sound generator DIY kit with a photoresistor

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…

OR-gate realization

To make an object counter we can use a simple dark detector circuit and a normal calculator. Pole and NO (Normally Open) terminals of a relay have to be connected to the two pins which are used to activate ‘=’ key of calculator.
As we block the light falling on LDR, the calculator starts counting.
For the calculator to work as a counter, we first need to press ‘1’ and ‘+’ keys.

USBASP FIRMWARE UPDATE GUIDE

The USBASP programmer is an important tool/accessory for embedded systems engineers/ firmware developers. It is a USB ICSP (In-Circuit Serial Programmer) that allows developers to easily upload firmware/bootloaders on AVR microcontrollers. Unlike what you find to serial programmers like the USB-TTL converters, it does not use a dedicated chip as it runs on an atmega88 (or atmega8), and uses…
