The IC is a quad 2 input AND gate, a CMOS 4081. These gates only produce a HIGH output, when BOTH the inputs are HIGH. When the key wired to 'E' is pressed, current through R1 and D1 switchs Q5 on.The relay energises; and Q5 is 'latched on' by R8. Thus, the Alarm is set by pressing a single key,say one of the two non-numeric symbols. (View)

Published:2012/11/26 0:51:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: LM317 , Voltage Regulator
I constructed this voltage regulator to power my two way mobile radio from the car cigarette lighter circuit. It has many other uses and the voltage can easily be adjusted by the use of a potentiometer. The voltage regulator is an LM317T, and should accept up to about 14 volts without problems. It can handle up to 1 amp, but you WILL need a heatsink on the voltage regulator. (View)

The controller can automatically identify the brightness of the room to make the curtains opening and closing with the best natural light. In Figure 1, photosensitive resistor RD and time base circuit 5G1555 form the brightness recognition part. when the it is black to a certain extent, photosensitive resistor RD's resistance increases, 5G1555 ② foot potential is less than 1/3Vcc ≈ 2.1V, ③ foot outputs a high potential, BG2 and BG3 are cut off, J2 releases. At the same time, D1, BG1 get conduction, J1 pulls in.

BT33 forms a delay circuit. When the power is turned on, the relay J1 does not work, contact J1-2 disconnects for five minutes, due to the charging voltage rise of the capacitor C1, BT33 gets conduction, relay J1 pulls, J1 -2 contact gets closure, then the refrigerator gets power, which is protected by J1-1 normally open contact. Under the case with normal voltage, D2, BG2 get conduction, D3, and D4, and BG3 are cutoff, relay J2 does not work.

This hybrid circuit uses a mixture of transistors, an IC and a relay and is used to automatically open or close a pair of curtains. Using switch S3 also allows manual control, allowing for curtains to be left only partially open or closed. The circuit controls a motor which is attached to a simple pulley mechanism, to move the curtains. I first started this circuit over 20 years ago and apart from now using metal gears, very little has changed. (View)

Published:2012/11/21 2:02:00 Author:muriel | Keyword: Model rocket , launch controller
Most commercial rocket controllers available to buy are either expensive or do not have many features. After a lot of searching I found nothing that met my needs. I wanted a controller that could work multiple pads, as well as being easy to set up and pack away, so I designed my own. It has the ability to control up to 8 pads through a 6 core cable. You may want to be able to disconnect all your units. I used 6 pin DIN plugs so that all the units can be disconnected and easily transported. I wont go into details of how this works yet, although it is very useful as this type of cable is used in alarm systems and can be purchased cheaply. Each pad unit has a two sockets for signal input and output, with the input to the first pad unit coming from the controller. Any other units are then daisy chained to the first pad box. The controller also has a built in launch countdown controller, although this does have a bypass switch to use the controller in normal mode. On my controller I also added an accessory socket so that a large display can be connected to display the countdown sequence, although this is not included on the schematic to simplify the circuit. The main controller can also contain a rechargeable battery, although this does not have to be included. Not all features of my controller are shown on the circuit diagram, although you can easily add your own to suit your needs. (View)
