Ultrasonic Distance Detector / Sonar Ranging System

This is the ultrasonic distance detector or sonar ranging system which can be used for general purpose. There are kit version available on the market, but of course the price is 3x more expensive than if you build your own sonar ranging system. Some application may use this circuit such as robot applications, body height… Read More »

White Line Follower

This is the circuit diagram of white line follower toy. The actuator of the toy is the DC motor. This circuit can be used for a toy car to follow a white line, this circuit also known as very simple robot: “line follower without microcontroller”. The motor is either a 3v type with gearing to steer the car or… Read More »

Tone Detector / Sound Activated Switch

The following circuit diagrams are tone detector circuit diagrams which also known as sound activated switch circuit. Actually, these circuits  use microntroller for switching because the circuits were designed for robot start up activation. But you can build switching module using relay. You may make a trial to use this circuit for other applications such… Read More »
