Simple negative resistance oscillators
Bob tipped us about a simple oscillator that uses negative resistance: Normally -according to the Ohm's law- when the applied voltage is increasing, the current is increasing too, however some components can break this law. When the voltage increases, current decreases. This is...
Continue ReadingLatching Relay Module
govindanunni@ instructables.com has build a latching relay module using 555 timer IC that is also able to interfaced to a microcontroller. In this instructable I will show you how to use a non-latching relay as a latching bistable relay by designing a simple electronic module which...
Continue ReadingDigital Potentiometer using Optical Encoder – 10KOhms
The primary application of the project is to replace the mechanical potentiometer with optical encoder which is long life, accurate, smooth in operation. The simple project has been designed around LS7184 quadrature clock converter IC from LSI semiconductor, AD5220-10 Digital...
