Power Indicator for the Water Softener


This power indicator circuit is intended to be used as an extension for the water softener. It might be easier to just place a LED but it is better to make a rectifier that detects the presence of the 15 kHz signal generated by the 555 IC.

Water Softener Power Indicator Schematic
water softener power indicator schematic
The rectifier is connected at the water softener system with C4 capacitor. D1 and D2 diodes are used to obtain a DC voltage that is filtered by C5 capacitor. This voltage turns ON the FET that lights up the LED. When there is no signal from the oscillator the LED will not glow. D1 and D2 = 1N4148.

A basic Arduino Solar PV Monitor

I have just recently had solar pv installed, mainly to future proof my energy costs, I do not expect it to be like drilling for oil in my back garden, however the return looks to be encouraging. The install gives you another single unit meter, from this you will see the total amount the panels produce, but that is about it. I wanted to know how much the production was as it was happening, I discovered the light blinks on the front of the meter will flash 1000 times for each kWh of electricity which passes through. The rate of the flashing of the LED tells you how much power is currently passing through the meter. [ ]

Schematic Audio Amplifier with IC AN7102S

This Schematic use IC AN7102S , this is setereo amplifier and have output speaker 7,5 mW with impedance 32 Ohm . Supply need 1Volt to 3 Volt , wow this amplifier low voltage. You can use this amplifier on radio is use battery . With just one battery with voltage 1,5 Volt you can play this amplifier. See this Schematic below : Click to Enlarge Datasheet IC AN7102S Vcc                   =  1-3 V Pout                 = 2X 7,5 mW RL                    = 32 Ohm Ft                      = 20hz - 20Khz Icco                  = 7 mA Package         = DIP-18 Manufactered = MATSUSHITA
