In past, we have published many brushed dc motor driver boards for various projects and usually, they have some sort of limitations, as some of them are large in size, require large size heatsink, doesn’t have current feedback, they don't have overload protection, some require...
Continue Reading42V Input – 3.3V @ 2A Output High Voltage Step Down Regulator
The project described here is a high voltage step-down regulator based on A4447 general-purpose buck converter chip from Allegro Semiconductor. The output voltage of the board is configured at 3.3V, but it is adjustable from 0.8 to 24V, based on the resistor divider R2 and R5....
Continue Reading1Khz to 20Mhz Low Power Oscillator
This is a precision, low power oscillator that occupies very little space. The oscillator frequency is adjustable using an onboard multi-turn trimmer potentiometer. The output of the circuit is very accurate and has a 1.5% frequency error. The project operates with a single 5V power...

This is a step-down DC-DC converter mainly designed for application such as high-cell-count battery packs, power tools, garden tools and electric scooters, drones. Some of the features of the project is precision enable, input voltage UVLO, internal soft start etc. The project...
Continue ReadingTemperature Controlled RGB LED Light Stick – Mood Light
The circuit presented here is a LED light stick which changes its color in respect with the room temperature. This is an Arduino compatible open source project consisting of 20 x WS2812B Addressable RGB LEDs, LM35 Temperature Sensor and ATmega328 microcontroller. Atmega328...
Continue ReadingLED Fading Effect / LED Strobe using 555
In general, generating an LED fade effect requires a microcontroller or another expensive circuit. We have built this low-cost LED fading board using an inexpensive 555 Timer. The 555 timer is used as an astable multivibrator, which generates low-frequency pulses, further, this pulse...
