Here’s a simple latch-up circuit using 555 timer and opto-coupler MCT2E. You can also use PC817 in place of MCT2E. The NE555 timer is configured in astable mode.The components are selected in such a way that the frequency output of the astable circuit lies within the audio range. Opto-coupler, MCT2E is is used for latching…
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, 🔊…
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: 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…
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….
This flasher circuit is bit different from other flasher circuits published on buildcircuit.com.
