Welcome!

Time is set by potentiometer R2 which provides a range or 1 sec. To 100 seconds with timing capacitor C1 of 100uF. The output at pin 3 is normally low and the relay is held off.... [read more]

When optimally tuned, it will propel a small slug about 1.5 metres high, or 2.5 metres horizontally.... [read more]

This circuit is intended as a reliable replacement to thermally-activated switches used for Christmas tree lamp-flashing. The device formed by Q1, Q2 and related resistors triggers the SCR. Timing is provided by R1, R2 & C1. To change flashing frequency do not modify R1 and R2 values: set C1 value from 100 to 2200µF instead.... [read more]

The circuit is placed parallel with the exit of power amplifier and us gives the level of signal ,from output. Changing resistance R1, in the input circuit, we adapt the indication of power, in the resistance of loudspeaker, that we use.... [read more]

This circuit switches a printer’s USB connection from a PC to a laptop. What was needed was a method of allowing a laptop to use the printer occasionally while at all other times the printer would be connected to the PC. Instead of unplugging the printer from the PC and then into the laptop, the circuit switches the USB connection automatically. K1 and K2 are standard type-B USB sockets, while K3 is a USB type-A socket.... [read more]
