cctv switcher circuit using 555 ic

Here is a simple project CCTV Switcher circuit using timer IC 555 and decade counter IC 4017. The basic function of this project is to switch between different CCTV cameras sequentially i.e. one CCTV output is displayed on TV at a time. A CCTV (Closed Circuit Telephone) camera is used for video surveillance by using a video camera. Sometimes one CCTV camera is not sufficient for surveillance entire area thus we have to use multiple cameras to cover the entire area of surveillance. The circuit posted here control four CCTV…

opto reflective sensor circuit using 555 ic

The DIY project posted here is of Opto Reflective Sensor using 555 IC and TCRT5000 module. These sensors are photoelectric sensors, which signifies that they rely on photo or light and do not need to be in contact with any other objects to sense. When a beam of light between the reflector and light sensor is interfered, that is when the sensor sends electrical signals. These electrical alerts are the information to the output unit. These days opto reflective sensor is used in various projects like proximity sensing, position detector,…

Phase Sequence Change Indicator

Engineeering Projects
3-phase sequence change indicator

The project phase sequence change indicator using 555 IC is used to indicate whether there is a change in phase sequence occurring or not by a beeper or a LED. We all know that in three-phase motor phase sequence is important because the change in phase sequence may cause trouble in machines. Circuit Description of Phase Sequence Change Indicator The circuit of phase sequence change indicator is divided into two main sections i.e. controlling section and the beeper section. The circuit of the phase sequence change indicator is shown in…

pachisi electronics game circuit

Pachisi game is a game similar to backgammon played mostly in Indian subcontinent, in which cones and cowries shells are used instead of counter and Dice. The game is played on a board between two persons, with the pieces moved in accordance with the throws of the cones or cowrie shells. This is an interesting game to test the ‘frustration quotient’ of the players. The rectangular board includes a number of red and green circles. Opponents start from the same square and move in opposite directions. The player who reaches…
