MEGA COLLECTION OF ELECTRONICS DIY PROJECTS
Every week, we publish 2 to 3 projects, sometimes even more! They range from simple circuits for beginners, to advanced projects that you can use to develop complete innovative products! Most projects have been developed by enthusiasts like you. Some by experts. And, some by our team. Many are tested at EFY Labs, and some are not–but they typically have a proof-of-concept video.
DIY Electronic Horn Circuit
Here’s a simple circuit of an electronic horn that is built around quadruple op-amp IC LM3900 (IC1). IC LM3900 has four independent op-amps (A1...
Teleremote Control
Here is a teleremote circuit which enables switching ‘on’ and ‘off’ of appliances through telephone lines. It can be used to switch appliances from...
SLEEP SWITCH CUM WAKE TIMER
Here is a sleep-switch circuit that can be easily converted into a wake-up timer. A dual-mode time setting makes the system versatile. The circuit...
CORDLESS PHONE BACKUP
Normally the base of a cordless phone has an adaptor and the handset has Ni-Cd cells for its operation. The base unit becomes inoperative...
PRECISION DIGITAL AC POWER CONTROLLER
Triacs and SCRs are extensively used in modern electronic power controllers—in which power is controlled by means of phase-angle variation of the conduction period....
Handy Zener Diode Tester
Here is a handy zener diode tester which tests zener diodes with breakdown voltages extending up to 120 volts. The main advantage of this...
SMART PHONE LIGHT
The circuit shown here is used to switch on a lamp when the telephone rings, provided that the ambient light is insufficient.
The circuit can...
CLAP REMOTE
An infra-red or wireless remote control has the disadvantage that the small, handy, remote (transmitter) is often misplaced. The sound operated switch has the...
CD-ROM DRIVE AS DIGITAL AUDIO CD-PLAYER
ACD-ROM drive can be used as a stand-alone unit for playing digital audio CDs without interfacing with a computer. The stereo output of CD...
Build a Crystal-Controlled 12 MHz AM Transmitter Without LC Tuning
The main feature of this transmitter is that it is free from the LC (inductor, capacitor) tuned circuit and operates on a fixed frequency...
SOLID STATE AUTO POWER-OFF ON MAINS FAILURE
A good number of circuits which turn off the power to the load on mains failure have already appeared in EFY. This circuit is...
Build an Automatic Fan Speed Controller with 555
During summer nights, the temperature is initially quite high. As time passes, the temperature starts dropping. Also, after a person falls asleep, the metabolic...
FREQUENCY MEASUREMENTS USING PC
PROBIR GOYAL
Here is a simple technique for measuring frequencies over quite a wide frequency range and with acceptable accuracy limits using a PC. It...
Dual Priority Encoder Circuit Using
Anormal priority encoder encodes only the highest-order data line. But in many situations, not only the highest but the second-highest priority information is also...
DIGITAL SWITCHING SYSTEM
This circuit can control any one out of 16 devices with the help of two push-to-on switches. An up/down counter acts as a master-controller...
COMPUTERISED MORSE CODE GENERATOR/TRANSMITTER
The circuit given here can be used to send telegraphic messages via computer. The message data entered through the computer keyboard is converted to...
UPS FOR CORDLESS TELEPHONES
Cordless telephones are very popular nowadays. But they have a major drawback, i.e. they cannot be operated during power failure. Therefore usually another ordinary...
Telephone Security Circuit to Prevent Unauthorised Line Use
Most of the telephone security devices available in market are simple but quite expensive. These devices provide blinking or beeping type line-tap misuse indications....
