A Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO) using 555 timer is an oscillator whose output frequency is directly dependent on the input control voltage. VCOs are widely used in communication systems, tone generators, frequency modulation (FM), and various signal processing applications. One of the simplest and most economical ways to build a VCO is by using the […]
An Astable Multivibrator is an essential oscillator circuit in electronics, used to generate continuous square wave signals without any external triggering. It is called “astable” because it has no stable state — both transistors in the circuit keep switching ON and OFF alternately, producing a continuous flip-flop output. In this article, we will explore a […]
Creating a wireless remote-control car using 433MHz RF modules is a classic electronics project. This guide explores a fully functional DIY 433MHz RF Remote Control Car Circuit using the HT12E/HT12D encoder-decoder pair, STX882/SRX882 RF modules, L293D motor driver, and BC557C transistors. We’ll also delve deep into how the transistors and diodes manage motor control and […]
In this article, we will explore the construction and working of a digital voltmeter circuit using the ICL7107, including how to measure both AC and DC voltages, how to calibrate the device, and an analysis of its advantages, limitations, and real-world applications. Digital voltmeters have become an essential part of electronics laboratories, industrial equipment, and […]
Monitoring the air, we breathe indoors is becoming increasingly important, especially in urban environments where pollution levels can impact our health. In this project, we’ll build a smart Indoor Air Quality Monitoring System using the BME680 environmental sensor, ESP8266 Wi-Fi module, and Blynk IoT platform. This compact setup allows real-time tracking of temperature, humidity, barometric […]
Building a powerful yet compact audio amplifier can greatly enhance your audio experience. This article details how to construct a 3-channel TDA2030 amplifier circuit with separate left, right, and bass channels, powered by a dual ±12V supply. Additionally, it integrates a bass filter circuit, Bluetooth support via a 7805 regulator, and multiple protection features to […]
