The world is all about visualization. Mesmerizing illumination has been introduced which provides a different level of satisfaction for human eyes. Using multi-pattern LEDs lights in a cubical representation is our contribution to this global trend. The project; LED Cube 4x4x4 Circuit using AT89c2051 microcontroller to create several light patterns. The cube designed for specific use in science laboratories is much easier to assemble. Previously, we had posted an LED Matrix Display using Arduino. Circuit Description of LED Cube 4x4x4 Circuit using AT89C2051 You can see the entire circuit of…
Read MoreAudio Oscillators
RC oscillators are principally used for generating audio frequencies. Two popularly used RC oscillators are (i) RC phase shift oscillator using either BJT or FET and (ii) Wien Bridge oscillator. Another popularly used audio oscillator is the Beat Frequency Oscillator (BFO). We here consider these three audio oscillators. RC Phase Shift Oscillator using BJT. Figure 1 gives the basic circuit. It is a sinewave feedback oscillator and uses an amplifier followed by three section R-C phase shift network. Output of the last section is fed to the base. We assume…
Read MoreOffline UPS Circuit
Introduction to Offline UPS Circuit We all know that most electrical and electronic appliances are solely powered by the AC supply and the problem arises when the power is cut off in the middle or there is no power at all. In such cases, uninterrupted supplies are what we look out for. This is one of those uninterrupted power supply circuits. The fact that it provides an instant power supply from the batteries than standby generators that take long to operate, makes it more practical. To make the use of…

Popular sinewave feedback L-C tuned oscillators are listed below. These are principally used for generating RF oscillations. Tuned Collector Oscillator Tuned Based Oscillator Hartley Oscillation Colpitts Oscillator Clapp Oscillator Crystal Oscillator Tuned Collector Oscillator Figure 1 gives the basic circuit. A parallel tuned L-C circuit placed in the collector circuit constitutes the load impedance and determines the frequency of oscillation. The output voltage developed across the tuned circuit is inductively coupled to the basic circuit through the coil L2. The winding direction of the two coils L1 and L2 are…
Read MoreBattery Status Indicator Circuit
Here is a simple circuit using transistor called ‘Battery Status Indicator Circuit’ used to indicate two states of battery i.e. under charged and over charged. Previously, we had already posted similar circuit called Battery Voltage State Indicator using 741 used to indicate three states of battery i.e. charged, charging and discharge. Similarly, you can also design circuit which indicate status of battery in 10 different level. Circuit Description of Battery Status Indicator The circuit of Battery Status Indicator Capacitor is shown in figure 1. The main components of Battery State…
Read More3.7V to 5V, 5.3V and 6V Converter Circuit
3.7V to 5V, 5.3V, and 6V Converter Circuit: The preferred voltage levels while working in most electronics projects lie between the value 5V to 6V. However, 3.6V-3.7V batteries are found abundantly in the market with a cheap price tag. So, we presented an economic solution to generate commonly used operating voltages i.e. 5V, 5.3V, and 6V using these cheap and easily available 3.6V and 3.7V batteries. Using two-three batteries of 3.6V (3.6*2=7.2V) and 3.7V (3.7*2=7.4V) doesn’t provide the desired voltage level and thus this project was essential. This DC-to-DC converter…
Read MoreDynamic Microphone Pre-amplifier Circuit
While flowing up the discussion on bestengineeringprojects.com, one of our readers ask about a dynamic microphone pre-amplifier. The dynamic microphone pre-amplifier circuit is a bit different than other microphone pre-amplifier circuits because it consists two-stage amplifier section. Thus, before going through the circuit description we would like to make clear the dynamic microphones. What is Dynamic Microphone? A dynamic microphone is a transducer that converts the sound signal into an electrical signal and works on the electromagnetic induction principle because it contains a moving coil. This microphone is also called…
Read MoreAudio Signal Tracer Schematic
Signal transmission can be quite troublesome sometimes. To ensure that the signal is passed through a defined distance, here we have presented an “Audio Signal Tracer Schematic”. As mentioned in the title; ‘Audio Signal Tracer Schematic’, this project is implemented to troubleshoot audio signals transmission in electronic circuits and radio, etc. It comprises two loudspeakers being Audio Signal Tracer and is packaged into a small hand-held test probe. The only power source required by the circuit is a battery and thus is more useful. Amplitude-modulated signals can also be detected…

Currently, in the market, a large number of GPS projects are distributed. You might be wondering what is different here? Well, the GPS receiver we are talking about is solely based on AVR- microcontroller. The project collects information from the satellite and so is more practical than other systems that demand wireless network connections as cellphones or Internet to operate. This GPS receiver system is a boon to remote areas and can be used as a base to work in other research areas. It works with the satellite to track…
