Motor Controller using transistors


Motor Controller using transistors.
In this circuit power supply is given by Pressing switch Sw(1).when we press the Sw(1) it shorts the N/O contact of relay RL(1) which gives the supply to our
circuit.The current which passing thorough resistor R8 gives the base current to transistor T5.Where the transistor T2 and T3 are making darlington pair.
A darlington pair has various applications associated with it and one of them is to use it as a switch. As the transistor's collector current is proportionally
limited by its base current, it can be used as a current-controlled switch.And transistor T4 ON when over or under voltage is given to transistor T3.

Where capacitor C2 is used for avoiding noise.where capacitor C2 with resistor R10 making a low pass filter which also gives us sufficient time delay.
There is a resistor network(VR1,R11,R12) which is used as a current sensor.Where zener diode ZD1 and ZD2 are used for the over voltage protection.
where capacitor C1 used as a noise filter of switching circuit and Diode D3 as rectifier.Relay RL(1) is DPDT(double pole double through) relay using for switching
with Sw(1) and Sw(2).

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. [ ]

Build a Key Operated Gate Locking System Circuit

This simple key-operated gate locking system allows only those persons who know the preset code to open the gate. The code is to be entered from the keypad within the preset time to operate the motor fitted in the gate. If anyone trying to open the gate presses a wrong key in the keypad, the system is disabled and, at the same time, sounds an alarm to alert you of an unauthorized entry. Figs 1 and 2 show the block and circuit diagrams of the key-operated code locking system, respectively. Connect points A, B, C, D, E, F and ground of the circuit to the respective points of the keypad. Keys S7, S16, S14 and S3 are used here for code entry, and the remaining keys are used for disabling the system. It is very important to press the keys in that order to form the code. To start the motor of the gate, press switches S7, S16, S14 and S3 sequentially. If the keys are pressed in a different order from the preset order, the system will lock automatically and the motor will not start. Fig. 1: Bl...

Apple releases TV spot for new iPods

Apple has just released a fun commercial to showcase its new line of iPod players and the various colours they come in. The TV spot titled ‘Bounce’, has a bunch of colourful iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod shuffles er…bouncing to music. With all that colour and dancing and bouncing, you may forget that Apple’s latest gen line of iPods has some other awesome features. For instance, the fifth gen iPod touch comes with Siri, 4-inch retina display and an A5 chipset. Maybe the next ad will showcase some of these features with less bouncing.link
