auto off for cassette players

Most common stereo cassette players have an auto-stop deck mechanism but do not have the auto power-off function. The circuit is meant for cassette players having an operational voltage of 12 V DC with the facility of LED type VU meter. When the sound signal stops, the power is automatically switched off after a delay of approximately 30 seconds. Circuit Description of Auto-off Cassette players With sound present, the LEDs of VU meter emits light. The LDR on receiving light from LEDs gives a high pulse to transistor T1which charge…

electronics changer circuit

In many situations, whenever a running light effect is required, a wooden wheel switch is needed. The wheel is driven by a motor which normally connects three switches, one by one producing a running light effects. Such a switching is very bulky and troublesome. Here is a simple electronic project “Running light circuit” with a very few components but which is equally effective. Circuit Description of Running Light Circuit In the circuit running light  all transistors remain on except one which is off. This off sequence ‘travels’ through each transistor.…

multi pattern running light

Running lights effect is not a new idea for electronics  hobbyist. But this multi-pattern running light becomes unique as four patterns can be selected. In the first pattern, out of eight lights, alternate light go ‘on’ and ‘off’. In the second pattern, two adjacent lights go ‘on’ and the following two go ‘off’. This pattern is shifted from left to right. In the third pattern, four adjacent lights go ‘on’ and these are sifted to right. In the fourth pattern all the eights light go ‘on’ and ‘off’ one by…

number scoring game circuit using 555

We have already posted few interesting electronics game project. Now,  here is one very interesting game projects “Electronics Number Scoring Game” which can give you hour of fun. You can play electronics number scoring game alone or with some friends. Circuit Description of Electronics Number Scoring Game The circuit of electronics number scoring game uses two timer ICs i.e. NE 555 (IC1 and IC3) to generate clock pulse and a decade counter to generate mathematical sign. A BCD counter followed by a seven-segment LED display driver is used to generate…

double tone car reversal horn

Several circuits of musical car horn have been published in BEP but “Double tune car reverse horn” differs from them. Projects like this helps you to get more used to various electronic devices. The circuit that produces the double tune car reverse horn generates two types of sounds: one is a pleasant ‘ding-dong’ bell sound and the other one is a sweet chirping sound of a bird.  Here, the IC HT82D (IC1) is used as the sound generator whose operating voltage range is 2 to 5 volts. It has 10…

priority lamp system

The circuit described here is a Priority Lamp Circuit which gives priority in switching. Switches SW1 to SW4 is a push-to-off type or push-button type, as desired. Normally, pushing off any switch will turn ‘on’ the corresponding relay, i.e. pushing of SW1 enables the NPN transistor T1, and hence relay RL1 operates. The logic section of is designed to get a controlled high output. The pressing of one switch disables the operation of all switches and results in priority in switching. In normal cases, all switches are closed and all relays…

programmable digital timer circuit

The project “programmable digital timer circuit” presented here can be used for setting time intervals in the range of 1 to 99 minutes. The circuit of a programmable digital timer does not use large resistors or capacitors to obtain the timing interval. Instead, it uses the 50 Hz mains frequency as a reference. The main frequency is fairly accurate for this application. The main frequency is shaped up by Schmitt-trigger gate N1 to obtain a square wave. This 50 Hz square wave is divided by IC1, IC2, IC3, and IC4.…

Self Switching Off Power Supply Circuit

Engineeering Projects
self switching off power supply circuit

This Self Switching Off Power Supply Circuit switches itself off when no current is drawn by the load. When a load current flows, the potential difference across diode D6 is sufficient to cause diode D7 = and transistor T2 to conduct. Transistor T1 is then switched on and the relay is energized. If you are new to relay drive circuits then you can watch this making video on How to make relay switching circuits. When the load current ceases, T2 switches off. The base current of T1 then charges capacitor…

simple power resumption alarm

Once again the most popular timer IC NE555 proved that its applications are limited only to the user’s ingenuity. The circuit of the simple power resumption alarm shown here is straightforward, where IC1 is wired in a special kind of mode. Circuit Description of Simple Power Supply Resumption Alarm When the power supply resumes, pin 2 of IC1 is grounded through C1 and pin 3 goes high. This makes reset pin 4 go high for about 10 seconds. When the capacitor C1 charges to two-thirds of the supply voltage, the output…

staircase light switch

This project “Staircase Light  Switch Circuit” may be used where it is necessary to control a single light or device by switches situated at different places. The control of a staircase light switch circuit is one of the applications of a light switch circuit. Staircase Light switch circuit can also be used to control an outdoor light using switches situated both inside and outside of the house. Any number of switches may be connected to the light switch circuit. As the switches are wired in parallel, the wiring can be…
