Description: A multivibrator has identical components(capacitors, transistors and resistors) arranged on the left and right hand sides that can be used to implement a variety of simple two-state systems such as oscillators, timers and flip-flops. In a multivibrator circuit, increasing the value of the two electrolytic capacitors increases the time each LED remains on/off. 🛠️ Dive into our collection of…
Description: UM66 or BT66 is a musical IC. The following circuit generates a melody using UM66. This module can be used in a number of projects like, light operated musical bell, remote bell, infrared based music transmitter and receiver, etc. 🛠️ Dive into our collection of DIY Kits, 🔊 Audio Amplifiers, Digital Scoreboards, FM transmitters, and…
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/

Description: You can make an up counter using a counter module and a multivibrator module. First make a simple multivibrator, then make a counter and then combine them.
Description: Astable mode of 555 timer is used to generate pulses at regular interval. READ ABOUT ASTABLE MODE. The following schematic has been taken from buildcircuit.com. The following circuit can work as a music generator, Infrared transmitter and LED blinker depending upon the values of R1, R2 and C1.
Description: LM358 is also one of the types of operational amplifier. LM358 consists of two independent, high-gain, frequency-compensated operational amplifiers designed to operate from a single supply over a wide range of voltages. This module can also be used for testing an LDR, a phototransistor and a photodiode. You just need to replace an LDR with…
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.
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…
Check out similar robotics chassis at Buildcircuit store Sparkfun.com has recently released a simple, easy and useful robot platform for robotics amateurs. It is called “Magician Chassis”. You can use the chassis for different kinds of robots, for example, line sensing, obstacle detecting and smart phone controlled robots. I have recently published an easy project…
