Easy to Use FM Radio Receiver

The project is a user-friendly and cheap FM radio receiver which produces the desired audio signals using integrated circuit to achieve the pre-processing units. During operation, the user is allowed to change stations and interact with the receiver by integrating a keypad and an LCD for communication. There are several functions that this radio receiver can perform including adjusting the threshold when picking up stronger or weaker stations, setting up 3 favorite stations for quick tuning, scanning up/down for next strong signal station, and tuning up/down a frequency.

A keypad is designed for controlling the receiver and the buttons are mapped to their corresponding functionality while the other buttons are not connected. The 4 main sub-components of the receiver include the LCD, the keypad, the favorite station storage, and the communication with receiver. Each of them is being controlled by their software components. The antenna transfers the incoming radio signal to the AR1010 FM radio receiver. To communicate with the AR1010, the I2C protocol is used since the sample code is available online. Also, the AR1010 is powered by 3V. The button presses on the keypad are scanned by the program.

3 Channels Audio Splitter Amplifier Circuit Diagram using TL084

This is the schematic diagram of 3 channels audio splitter amplifier circuit which built using op-amp IC TL084. The 3 channels amplifier output distribution applies a single TL084. 3 Channels Audio Splitter Amplifier Circuit Diagram The very first step is to capacitive coupling having a p. 1.0 ~ electrolytic capacitor. The entries are railways Vee Y2 or 4.5 V. This enables working with an individual 9V power source. A voltage gain of 10 (1 M?/100 Kohm) is obtained in the first stage, as well as the other three floors are connected as a unity gain voltage followers. Every single output stage drives independently through an amplifier output 50 pF capacitor towards the resistance of 5.1 k ohm load. The response range is flat from 10 Hz to 30 kHz.

Simple Automatic Street Light

There have been lot of problems in street lights. Major problem in some places is every evening a person has to come and switch ON the street light and it should be again switched off in morning. Yes, this may not be the situation in everywhere but exists in many places. So this problem can be overcome by using a simple circuit. Below shown circuit will be automatically switched ON and OFF during night and morning times respectively. Circuit diagram : Simple Automatic street light Circuit Diagram In above circuit R1 can be used to adjust the sensitivity. And the working of the circuit is very simple. The LDR will have very low resistance during day time so the transistor Q1 will be in OFF condition. And during night time the resistance will be very high so automatically the transistor Q1 will be ON. The Q1 is PNP transistor and the emitter of Q1 is given to base of Q2. So the Q2 transistor will be ON only if the transistor Q1 is ON. The TRIAC is used in the circuit to make is circ...

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. [ ]
