ELECTRONIC_CW“BUG”KEYER

Published:2009/6/17 2:40:00 Author:May

This keyer uses skin conductivity to simulate the old-fashioned mechanical CW bug keyer. When the “dit”paddle is touched the bias on the inverter, IC1-a is shunted to ground, and it produces a logic high, causing oscillator sections C&D to generate a low-frequency square wave keying Ql for a series of “dits.” When the “dah”paddle is touched, section b produces a logic high, driving keyer Q1 on.   (View)

PHOTOELECTRIC_SENSOR

Published:2009/6/17 2:37:00 Author:May

The circuit can be used as a sensor that can trigger an alarm without direct contact being madeby the intruder In this circuit，a visible or invisible tight Source radiates on the sensor，keeping thedetection loop In what could essentially be called a normally closed condition As long as the light source striking R5 remalns uninterrupted，the switch remalns closed But ifan intruder passes between the light Source and the sensor，the circuit goes from closed to open，andtriggers the alarm. A light-dependent resistor(LDR)， whose resistance varles inversely in with the amount of lighthitting its sensitive surface，is used A bright light aimed at R5 causes its internal resistance to dropas low as a few hundred ohms；In total darkness，the unit’s resistance can rlse to several megohmsThe light-dependent resistor(R5) is conrtected between the ＋V supply and the base of Q1．As longas R5 detects light，it supplies ample base current to cause Q1's collector to saturate to near groundlevel That also pulls the base of Q2(a 2N3906 genera-purpose pnp transistor) to near ground level，turning it on and clamping its collector to the＋V rail.   (View)

PORCH_LIGHT_CONTROL

Published:2009/6/17 2:33:00 Author:May

This circuit can control the on/off cycle of a light via a CDS photocell, and turn it off after a pre-set period. The light can only be turned on when CDS cell is in darkness, and it stays on for a time determined by the 555 circuit. On time depends on RI and C1 and is about 80 seconds with the values shown.   (View)

FUNCTION_GENERATOR_2

Published:2009/6/17 2:32:00 Author:May

A quad op amp makes up the heart of this function generator. U1-a generates a square wave, and outputs this to J3. J1 and J2 are pulse outputs obtained by differentiating the square wave. Integrator U1-b generates a triangle-wave shaper to obtain a sine wave. Q1 is an output amplifier.   (View)

OUTDOOR_LIGHT_CONTROLLER

Published:2009/6/17 2:31:00 Author:May

A neon bulb and a CdS photocell enclosed in a light-tight enclosure forrn an optocoupler. A diac/triac combination is used to provide the snap-switch effect. A second CdS photocell acts as the main sensor. As darkness approaches, the resistance of R4 begins to increase. At a threshold level, the diac triggers the triac and causes the neon bulb to light. This reduces the resistance of R6, causing the diac to trigger the triac, which lights the neon bulb and provides power to the load.As moming light comes up, the process is reversed. The neon bulb goes out and the SCR turns off.   (View)

COMBINED_LIGHT__DARK_ACTIVATED_SWITCH

Published:2009/6/17 2:30:00 Author:May

Two op arnps used in a bridge circuit configuration detect high and low light levels. Potentiometer R2 sets the dark level and R1 controls the light level. R3 is set so that about 1/2 the supply voltage appears across R4 at the desired light level. R1 and R2 set the trip point of the optoisolator IC2 at darker or lighter ambient levels, as required.   (View)
