The simplest fan speed control circuit diagram

Image
Hello, today I will show you how to make a simple fan speed control by just 3 electronic components I use only 3 parts One is a 10 kilo-ohms resistor An IRF540N NPN MOSFET and a 10 kilo-ohms potentiometer No heatsink require for less than 2 A load  I use a MOSFET instead of a transistor because a MOSFET control input by voltage so it's easy to bias Let's start by connecting the resistor to the positive terminal and connect another leg to a MOSFET gate connect a MOSFET gate pin to a 10 kilo-ohms potentiometer. two resistor works as a voltage divider connect a MOSFET drain pin to the ground and also connect the potentiometer middle leg to the ground This circuit use only two legs of a potentiometer Then connect a source pin to the load negative pin and connect the load positive pin to 12 volt or positive terminal. See the video below for practical use.

Simple Temperature Control Fan Speed circuit diagram

Image
Today I will show you how to make a very simple temperature control fan speed circuit. I use very minimal parts and works in real life. This circuit change 12 volts DC fan speed by temperature. The hotter the temp, the faster fan speed. The circuit principle is a voltage divider between T1 and 20 K potentiometer. When temperature increase, the Thermistor resistance decrease and make the voltage set point between T1 and R1 increase until it is higher than a Mosfet Vgs threshold and make a Mosfet change to ON state and conduct current to a fan. Below picture is the parts you need. Note: T1 is 10 K thermistor See the video below that shows how it work and full circuit diagram and the important of C1

Long range IR sensor circuit diagram

Image
In a previous post, I made an Infrared sensor that has a maximum range of only 5 centimeters but my audience want more detector range so I made the circuit for him and for all of you who interesting in DIY electronic project!!! The circuit use opamp comparator configuration that stable than a previous circuit that I use just two transistors to make the job done.  This circuit has detector range about 25 centimeters and can easily adjust detector range easily with a potentiometer(R4 in the below picture). You may need to block strong light expose directly to an Infrared sensor or the circuit will always turn on forever.  You can find the electronic components details in the above picture and you can see the instruction on my video below. You can ask any question on the comment box below if you have any question about this project. Enjoy DIY world!!!

An infrared proximity sensor is a sensor that detects any object when it close to the sensor. The circuit is an important part of an automatic faucet, robot, and touchless switch. An above image is an infrared proximity sensor circuit diagram. The circuit is simple and easy to make, it has 2 transistors, 4 resistors, an IR LED, an IR phototransistor, and a purple or white or green LED (use as an indicator so you can remove it if you want) Electronic components list This circuit's maximum detection range is 10 centimeters, you can decrease the detector range by changing R2 resistor. Use 7805 regulator IC if you want to use the circuit with 12 volts power supply. The infrared proximity sensor consumes around 50 milliamps per hour when standby and consumes around 80 milliamps(add a relay that consumes 30 milliamps) so you need an external power supply because battery life will not last long. The reason that makes this circuit consume much energy because IR LED n...

How to make a DC power supply for your amplifier

Image
Hello, today I will show you how to make a DC power supply for your amplifier project. An audio amplifier normally needs DC power supply to feed it so you need to know how to make it if you want to make a good amplifier. Now, let's start. 1. Find your amplifier's recommended voltage. I use TA2024 amplifier board, the amp board recommends voltage is 8.5 - 13.2 volts so I need a DC power supply that output voltage does not exceed 13.2 volts. 2 Find the right transformer for your project. When you convert AC to DC with full bridge diode rectifier, the DC voltage increase around 1.4142 - 0.6 volts from an AC input when DC output doesn't connect to a load. I found the formula on the internet and it is AC x 1.4142 only but it was not same as I measured because the DC output voltage decreases around 0.6 volts. The transformer on the above picture provide 9.65 volts AC without connecting to a load, the voltage will drop when you connect to a load. So t...

DIY toggle touch sensitive switch

Image
Hello everyone, today I'm going to show you how to make a touch sensitive switch, the switch makes you control light,motor just by touch the switch. The switch is very long life and safe to operate even your hand wet because you can put the touch sensor behind any plastic plate and make a touch sensitive light switch or you even can put the circuit in a lamp and make a touch lamp. This circuit uses CD4013BE d flip-flop IC . When you touch the touch sensor( The red module on the above picture) The sensor send output high to CD4013BE pin3 and make CD4013BE pin 1 change state to on or off once. However, CD4013BE output current not high enough for a relay to operate(yellow-black box on the above picture) so you need a PNP transistor(BD140) to amplify current for a relay. You can remove R4 and LED if you don't need light indicator in your project. This circuit uses 5 volts DC to operate so you need a transformer and it cause your overall circuit big but you can buy a ti...

Arduino project | how to make a contactless thermometer

Image
This Arduino project: a contactless thermometer is good for anyone who wants to measure temperature from any object without touching it. The infrared sensor detects infrared radiation that is emitted from an object and converts the value to digital data and sent the data to the Arduino board via an I2C interface.  The sensor I use in this project is mlx90614, an infrared and ambient temperature sensor. It can measure a wide range of temperature from -70 to 380 °C for object temperature  reading  and the sensor also measure ambient temperature from -40 to 125°C.  Mlx90614 module read an object temperature and ambient temperature and sends both outputs at the same time.  The sensor module cost around 3 - 4 $ from eBay free shipping   worldwide!!! All you need for this project are Arduino unoR3,mlx90614 module,20x4 I2C display, and jumper wire. Below is the temperature sensor wiring diagram:   MLX90614 wiring diagram ...

Hall effect sensor wiring diagram and test video

Image
Hall effect sensor switch is a switch that turns on when enough magnetic field near the IC. You can use hall effect sensor to make many Diy projects such as rpm meter, magnet detector, and more project involves with a magnet. Did you know? Hall effect sensor uses in many electric machines, example; when you open washing machine door and the machine stop spinning, or when you open microwave door then it pauses and send beeping sound until you close the door. Hall effect sensor IC in this post is A3144(old component but work well and low cost) Send output low (0 volts) when strong magnetic field near a sensor, that why somebody asked on the internet why his project involves hall effect sensor didn't work. Hall effect sensor wiring diagram. You can see an above image that a load(LED in this picture) connect to positive electrode and output instead output and ground. That's the reason why some projects don't work and will never work because the output low when magn...
