If you are one of those people who would like to spend their well-earned summer vacations in the comforts of a hill resort but are worried about your potted companions back home, then a plant watering system is what you need. The project “Automatic Plant Watering System Circuit” immediately waters the plant once the soil turns dry. By adding timer circuits and other components, we can extend the flexibility of this project and make further improvements such that it operates automatically at the duration set by the timer. Circuit Description…

Mains Trigger Musical Door Bell Circuit
Door bell system is probably one of the earliest electronics project. Large number of projects has followed the series, each with different components and different sound effects. The projects published till now were either completely battery operated or were mains based. On doing so, the project consumed more power form a single source and sometimes didn’t even operate for desired limit of time. Here we have tried to reduce the problem to some extent by publishing the project “Mains Trigger Musical Door Bell Circuit”. This unique Mains Trigger Musical Door…
Read MoreMachine Sound Generator Using 555 Timer IC
Countless projects have been developed with a variety of alarming effects. We prefer different sound effects in different places. For instance, in security-based projects sharp and alarming sound is considered the best option, whereas, in the doorbell, the soft sound is found pleasant to the ears. Thus, it is more appropriate to have related sound effects for particular areas. The project “Machine Sound Generator Using 555 Timer IC” is a similar project aiming to generate machine sound solely for industrial applications. However, the circuit Machine Sound Generator Using 555 Timer…
Read MoreFuse Tube Light as Night Lamp
Fuse tube light is useless what we generally think. This concept can be proven wrong by this particular project. This electronic trick let you use your fuse tube light at night lamp. The circuit comprises a bridge rectifier and a starter where, starter is used to boost up the voltage and is connected to the fuse side of tube light as shown in figure. The mains voltage is direct rectified using bridge rectifier made for four general purpose diode. The output with starter is connected to tube light as shown…
Read MoreDIY Resetting Protector Circuit for Computer
Introduction to DIY Resetting Protector Circuit for Computer With the speed of development in technology, it is no wonder that a number of software have been developed to prevent computers from quick execution of rushed commands which are mostly accidental issues. However, even the most advanced computer programs do not offer protection against the accidental operation of the panel-mounted reset switch. This often leads to incomplete installation of software, improperly closed files, and results in useless memory accumulation in the hard disc. Therefore we need a device which can prevent…
Read More12 V Battery Charger with overcharge and deep-discharge protecting
Introduction of 12 V Battery Charger with overcharge and deep-discharge protecting Mostly in broad projects, we have seen lead-acid storage cells are often used as a backup source of electrical energy during periods of supply line failure so that the system operates efficiently. In case of mains supply failure, the energy (i.e. electrical) stored in the cell is used and later when the mains supply is available, the energy in the cell is restored from the mains through a device named a charger. The cell undergoes chemical processes during the charging…
Read More5 State Digital IC and Circuit Tester
Quite often electronics engineers and technicians come across the problem of fault-finding or testing electronic circuit boards full of digital integrated circuits. A handy and quick look-tool ‘5-State Digital IC and Circuit Tester’ for such an analysis is a logic probe that does the job faster and easier by just touching this probe to different pins of various ICs and observing the logic levels. Introduction to 5-State Digital IC and Circuit Tester Most of the commercially available logic probes show only two distinct levels of logic ‘0’ and logic ‘1’ corresponding…
Read MoreFridge Alert System Circuit
Different range of temperature levels settings is available in the refrigerator; varying form low, normal up to high cooling. These ranges don’t provide a precise temperature. At times, we might need to set a limit of the temperature in the fridge for some reasons like to store certain types of foods or to get the exact accuracy of temperature we want. This circuit serves us right. The project entitled “Fridge Alert System circuit” is designed for the fridge. With the help of this project, we can detect exact temperature of…
Read MoreGSM based notice board Using AT89c52
Lately, in the field of electronics use of GSM modules has been incorporated in almost 50% of the circuits for the wide range of benefits it offers. The project “GSM-based notice board Using AT89c52” also takes an advantage of the GSM module to design an electronics notice board. Being wireless, it avoids the requirement of messy wires for circuit design with LCD interfacing. It consumes less power and is easy to operate. And the main point is that it is portable. Who would deny such a circuit over a maze…
Read MoreBeeper for Automobile Flasher Using 555
Flashing light is a good way to alert people around but is not the best measure. Ears can hear when eyes cannot see. Therefore using a beeper circuit is the best remedy and this concept has been utilized in modern automobiles and also included in multiple other applications. The project ‘beeper for automobile flasher’ can be implemented in old automobiles (scooters, motorcycles) where there is no beeper circuit along with a flasher. It can also be included in many other alerting projects which employ flasher circuits. Working of Beeper for…
