Clap switch using 3 different modules
Description: In this clap switch we use three different modules given below. It is necessary to make these three modules in order to make a clap switch. a. Dark sensor using 2 transistors. b. Monostable mode of 555 timer. c. Toggle switch using 555 timer. 🛠️ Dive into our collection of DIY Kits, 🔊 Audio…
Toggle switch using 555
Description: The following circuit works as a toggle switch. The circuit has two stable states, ON and OFF. Once it is ON, it remains ON till you press the switch again. The project has been derived from buildcircuit.com. You can read the original post from this link: http://www.buildcircuit.com/toggle-switch/ 🛠️ Dive into our collection of DIY Kits, 🔊…
Monostable module
Description: In the monostable mode, the 555 works as a “one-shot” pulse generator. Other applications of monostable mode include timers, pulse-width modulation (PWM), missing pulse detection, touch switches, frequency divider, capacitance measurement, bouncefree switches and so on.
FREE 555 timer simulators for electronics beginners
All of us know that NE555(or other versions) is a versatile IC for building big and small projects. Recently, I found some free simulators that would be very useful for electronics beginners. Please go the links I have given on this page and download those applications for FREE. You may also find something more useful…
Light activated police siren using 555 timer and light dependent resistor(LDR)
Here’s a simple light activated police siren using light dependent resistor and NE555 timer. Before you make this project, I would recommend you to make the following projects. a. Light sensor and dark sensor I strongly recommend you to make a dark sensor and light sensor using LDR and understand clearly how it works. b….
Light operated switch
Light operated switch works with NE555 timer and light dependent resistor. It uses relay and toggle switch idea for operation.
Up Counter
An up counter simply counts from 0 to 9. We can use this circuit to make digital object counter. This circuit can also be used to make a digital clock.
Mode of NE555- Astable
This circuit has been configured in Astable mode. The output pulses are determined by the values of resistors R1, R2 and the timing capacitor C1. The formula for the frequency of pulses is: f= 1.44/[(R1+2R2)*C1].
Sound generator and Musical toy organ
One of the main objectives of LDR Engineering projects is to make students capable of developing their own logic for making devices. Here is an example that tells how LDR Engineering helps in developing ideas.
Mode of NE555- Astable
This circuit has been configured in Astable mode. The output pulses are determined by the values of resistors R1, R2 and the timing capacitor C1. The formula for the frequency of pulses is: f= 1.44/[(R1+2R2)*C1].
The high and low time of each pulse can also be calculated.
Mode of NE555- Monostable
Monostable mode of operation
Monostable mode of operation of 555 IC can be explained using a simple touch sensitive circuit. Here, timing constant (T) of monostable timer= 1.1*R1*C1. The following circuit has been configured in monostable mode. A monostable circuit produces a single pulse(for a certain duration determined by the Timing Constant(T)=1.1*R1*C1) when triggered at pin 2.
