solid state power off timer circuit

Ever left a device plugged in overnight, only to realize it’s been sipping power like a lazy vampire? We all have. Even when switched off, many devices still drink up energy, wasting precious electricity and silently adding to the bill. What if there was a smarter way? Well, guess what—there is! Today, we’re building a solid-state power-off timer circuit that not only cuts the load but consumes absolutely no energy when turned off. Why This Circuit is a Game-Changer You see, most circuits out there rely on relays or electromechanical…

This project is perfect if you’ve ever wondered how to build a user-friendly countdown timer with an interactive menu, memory storage, and buzzer alerts. This step-by-step guide will walk you through creating an Arduino countdown timer using an I2C 20×4 LCD, push buttons, and a buzzer. The functions of this timer include setting and saving the countdown time, pausing and resetting, and even with buzzer notifications loudly when the time is up. This project is great for beginners, but it’s also feature-packed for advanced makers. In addition, it uses EEPROM to store your settings, so your countdown configuration will survive even when power is lost. Let’s get started! Why Build an Arduino Countdown Timer? Timers are an integral part of a wide variety of activities, from cooking and workout routines to the operations in industry. While there are many timers commercially available, building your own enables feature customization, serves as an introduction to learning about…
