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 »

220V Light Dimmer

This simple 220V light dimmer circuit can be used to adjust the brightness of mains lights. It also can be used to adjust the speed of AC motors. It uses a triac, diac and has a radio-frequency interference (RFI) noise suppression circuit built into it as well. Schematic diagram: Components List: R1 = 10K R2… Read More »
