Simple Park Aid Circuit Diagram

This Park-Aid Circuit Diagram was designed as an aid in parking the car near the garage wall when backing up. LED D7 illuminates when bumper-wall distance is about 20 cm., D7+D6 illuminate at about 10 cm. and D7+D6+D5 at about 6 cm. In this manner you are alerted when approaching too close to the wall. All distances mentioned before can vary, depending on infra-red transmitting and receiving LEDs used and are mostly affected by the color of the reflecting surface.

Black surfaces lower greatly the device sensitivity. Obviously, you can use this circuit in other applications like liquids level detection, proximity devices etc. Circuit operation: IC1 forms an oscillator driving the infra-red LED by means of 0.8mSec. pulses at 120Hz frequency and about 300mA peak current. D1 & D2 are placed facing the car on the same line, a couple of centimeters apart, on a short breadboard strip fastened to the wall. D2 picks-up the infra-red beam generated by D1 and reflected by the surface placed in front of it. The signal is amplified by IC2A and peak detected by D4 & C4. Diode D3, with R5 & R6, compensates for the forward diode drop of D4. A DC voltage proportional to the distance of the reflecting object and D1 & D2 feeds the inverting inputs of three voltage comparators. These comparators switch on and off the LEDs, referring to voltages at their non-inverting inputs set by the voltage divider resistor chain R7-R10.

Notes:
  • Power supply must be regulated (hence the use of IC3) for precise reference voltages. The circuit can be fed by a commercial wall plug-in adapter, having a DC output voltage in the range 12-24V.
  • Current drawing: LEDs off 40mA; all LEDs on 60mA @ 12V DC supply.
  • The infra-red Photo Diode D2, should be of the type incorporating an optical sunlight filter: these components appear in black plastic cases. Some of them resemble TO92 transistors: in this case, please note that the sensitive surface is the curved, not the flat one.
  • Avoid sun or artificial light hitting directly D1 & D2.
  • If your car has black bumpers, you can line-up the infra-red diodes with the (mostly white) license or number plate.
  • It is wiser to place all the circuitry near the infra-red LEDs in a small box. The 3 signaling LEDs can be placed far from the main box at an height making them well visible by the car driver.
  • The best setup is obtained bringing D2 nearer to D1 (without a reflecting object) until D5 illuminates; then moving it a bit until D5 is clearly off. Usually D1-D2 optimum distance lies in the range 1.5-3 cm.

Simple Car Alarm Arming Horn Beep Canceller

Its a great convenience that most modern cars come with a built in alarm, however it is nothing but noise pollution that the horn sounds when the alarm is armed. Disconnecting the alarm system from the horn relay will eliminate this, but prevent the horn from sounding in the even of an actual alarm. This circuit serves to silence the arming beep yet maintain the alarm by introducing a small delay into the signal. It sits between the alarm and horn relay. The alarm must provide a constant horn signal for at least 3 seconds before the horn relay is activated. That way the quick "beep" will never activate the horn relay, while the constant alarm signal will.

Simple Frequency Voltage Converter Circuit Diagram

This is the simple frequency voltage converter circuit diagram. Teledyne Semiconductor`s Type TSC9402 is a versatile IC. Not only can it convert voltage into frequency, but also frequency into voltage. It is thus eminently suitable for use in an add-on unit for measuring frequencies with a multimeter. 

Only a few additional components are required for this.. Just one calibration point sets the center of the measuring range (or of that part of the range that is used most frequently). The frequency-proportional direct voltage at the output (pin 12—amp out) contains interference pulses at levels up to 0.7 V. If these have an adverse effect on the multimeter, they can be suppressed with the aid of a simple RC network. 

The output voltage, U0, is calculated by: tfo=C/rei(Ci + 12 pF) R2fm Because the internal capacitance often has a greater value than the 12 pF taken here, the formula does not yield an absolute value. The circuit has a frequency range of dc to 10 kHz. At 10 kHz, the formula gives a value of 3.4 V. The circuit draws a current of not more than 1 mA.

Simple Schmitt Trigger Circuits

By replacing the common-emitter resistor in a conventional Schmitt by a zener diode,the hysteresis normally associated with these circuits is eliminated. 



One cheap IC, ul.914, can be used as an extremely simple and effective Schmitt trigger suitable for many applications. Hysterisis of the circuit is about 0.1 Volt. This may be varied by altering the values of R1 and R2. 



An LED and phototransistor optical coupler system may be used to lengthen a three microsecond pulse to 55 milliseconds by using the values shown in the diagram. This allows complete isolation between input pulse circuits and the lengthener to be obtained.

Simple Baud Rate Generator Circuit IC 4060 Output Pin Out Configurations

The generator described is a good value·for money alternative to the commercially available types; it uses  only one CMOS-IC 4060 and provides up to seven different baud rates. Lets learn more regarding the pin out configuration of the IC 4060.

Each serial data interface requires a baud rate generator: terminal, printer tape interface. . . lt is often not possible to use the same generator for input and output, so it would be useful to add one to, for instance, the UART in the computer or the UART in the terminal. To keep the ,costs of such an addition down, we have developed a generator which uses just one IC, two resistors, one preset potentiometer and a capacitor. The CMOS 4060 is a 14-stage binary counter with an internal oscillator which only requires the frequency determining RC components. As the reset is connected to earth, the counter begins to count upwards when the supply is switched on. A clock frequency then becomes available at the outputs: the higher the number of the output, the lower the frequency available at it.

 In the circuit shown the frequencies avail- able at the various outputs are: O4 = 9600 baud 08 = 600 baud 05 = 4800 baud O9 = 300 baud O6 = 2400 baud Q10 = 150 baud Q7 = 1200 baud If the outputs are wired as shown in the circuit diagram, the required baud rate can then be selected by means of a wire link. _ The oscillator frequency can be set precisely with P1, and measured either at pin 9 of the 4060 or at one of the outputs O4 . . . Q10. With the values shown, the frequency at pin 9 should be 38.4 kl-lz; at the outputs O4. . .010 the relevant baud rate. lt is often required that the clock frequency is 16 times the baud rate (for instance, with asynchronous ~ operation of the 6850, 8251, 280- SIO. . .). ln that case, C1 must be replaced by a 27 nF capacitor and the oscillator frequency must be set to 614.4 kHz.

Simple Light Dependent Resistors

LDRs or lightweight Dependent Resistors are terribly helpful particularly in light/dark sensor diagram. Normally the resistance of an LDR is incredibly high, typically as high as a thousand 000 ohms, however once they are illuminated with lightweight resistance drops dramatically.


 The animation opposite shows that when the torch is turned on, the resistance of the LDR falls, permitting current to have it.Circuit Wizard software has been used to show, the vary of values of a ORP12, LDR .
When a light-weight level of a thousand lux (bright light) is directed towards it, the resistance is 400R (ohms).


When a light-weight level of ten lux (very low light level) is directed towards it, the resistance has risen dramatically to ten.43M (10430000 ohms).

This is an example of a light-weight sensor schema :

When the sunshine level is low the resistance of the LDR is high. This prevents current from flowing to the bottom of the transistors. Consequently the LED doesnt lightweight. However, when lightweight shines onto the LDR its resistance falls and current flows into the bottom of the primary transistor and then the second transistor. The LED lights.

The preset resistor will be turned up or right down to increase or decrease resistance, during this means it will build the schema additional or less sensitive. Link

How to make the measurement of impedance speaker with the multimeter

Connect a digital multimeter to AC voltage in the range of 200mV.
Connect the device under test terminals
SW1 to R7, if the value of the measured impedance is less than 100 ohm R8 or upwards.
With SW2 in the "Set" power-on schema through SW3
Adjust P1 to read exactly 100.0mV the display DVM
Switch SW2 in the "Measure" and read directly from the speaker or headphones impedance value on the display DVM, eg 8.2mV = 8.2 Ohm / 80.1mV = 80.1 Ohm


How to make the measurement of impedance speaker with the oscilloscope:

Connect the oscilloscope instead of DVM (multimeter) and turn P1 fully clockwise.
Short the output speaker and adjust R3 to get a sine wave amplitude of about 2.2V peak-to-peak.

Simple LCD Module in 4 bit Mode

In many projects use is made of alphanumeric LCDs that are driven internally by Hitachi’s industry-standard HD44780 controller. These displays can be driven either in 4-bit or 8-bit mode. In the first case only the high nibble (D4 to D7) of the display’s data bus is used. The four unused connections still deserve some closer attention. The data lines can be used as either inputs or outputs for the display. It is well known that an unloaded output is fine, but that a floating high-impedance input can cause problems. So what should you do with the four unused data lines when the display is used in 4-bit mode? This question arose when a schema was submitted to us where D0-D3 where tied directly to GND (the same applies if it was to +5 V) to stop the problem of floating inputs.

The LCD module was driven directly by a microcontroller, which was on a development board for testing various programs and I/O functions. There was a switch present for turning off the enable of the display when it wasn’t being used, but this could be forgotten during some experiments. When the R/Wline of the display is permanently tied to GND (data only goes from the microcontroller to the display) then the remaining lines can safely be connected to the supply (+ve or GND). In this application however, the R/Wline was also controlled by the microcontroller. When the display is initialised correctly then nothing much should go wrong. The data sheet for the HD44780 is not very clear as to what happens with the low nibble during initialisation.


After the power-on reset the display will always be in 8-bit mode. A simple experiment (see the accompanying schema) reveals that it is safer to use pull-down resistors to GND for the four low data lines. The data lines of the display are configured as outputs in this schema (R/Wis high) and the ‘enable’ is toggled (which can still happen, even though it is not the intention to communicate with the display). Note that in practice the RS line will also be driven by an I/O pin, and in our schema the R/W line as well. All data lines become high and it’s not certain if (and if so, for how long) the display can survive with four shorted data lines. The moral of the story is: in 4-bit mode you should always tie D0-D3 via resistors to ground or positive.

Simple Circuit Board Checker

This little schema indicates the basic integrity of a printed board, detecting 0V, positive supply voltage from less than 3V to 30V and floating parts. If the probe is floating, as it would be in a broken track, then both LEDs barely light up, since there is no current to drive the transistors, but if the probe touches 0V or a positive voltage one or other lights. A digital signal should light them in proportion to the mark-space ratio whereas the output of a schema oscillating at a frequency rate below about 20Hz will cause the LEDs to flicker alternatively. The LEDs will illuminate always at a constant intensity, no matter the voltage supply used, because they are fed by a very simple FET constant-current generator (Q1).

Simple Switch Mode Voltage Regulator Wiring diagram Schematic

This is a Simple Switch-Mode Voltage Regulator Circuit Diagram. This Simple Switch-Mode Voltage Regulator Circuit Diagram power supplies offer the benefit of a much greater efficiency than obtainable with a traditional power supply. The Simple Switch-Mode Voltage Regulator Circuit Diagram presented here has an efficiency of around 85%. An input voltage of 12 to 16 Vdc is converted into a direct voltage of exactly 5 V. 

 Simple Switch-Mode Voltage Regulator Circuit Diagram

Simple



The use of a MAX638CPA enables the design and construction of the regulator to be kept fairly simple: only nine additional components are needed to complete the schema. Resistors RI and R2 are used to indicate when the battery voltage becomes low: as soon as the voltage on pin 3 becomes lower than 1.3 V, D1 lights. With values as shown for the potential divider, this corresponds to the supply voltage getting lower than about 6.5 V. 

The output of the IC is shunted by a simple LC filter formed by LI, C3 and D2. The oscillator on board the IC generates a clock frequency of around 65 kHz and drives the output transistor via two NOR gates. The built-in error detector, the `battery low` indicator or the voltage comparator can block the clock frequency, which causes the transistor to switch off. The IC compares the output voltage of 5 V with a built-in reference (FET). Depending on the load, the FET will be switched on for longer or shorter periods. The maximum current through the FET is 375 mA, which corresponds with a maximum output current of 80 mA.
