Smart Electronic Candle using LDR DIY Smart Electronic Candle using LDR

Candles have been of great use since ages, it has been guiding humans during night even before Edison came up with the idea for bulbs. Today, from Churches to kitchens, Candles are used not only to provide light when needed but also adds up to the aesthetics and provides a warm feeling. While ordinary candles work fine, they melt away pretty fast making the place nasty and…

Automatic Street Light Circuit Using Relay and LDR Automatic Street Light Controller Circuit Using LDR and Relay

You have seen street light which automatically gets turned on in the night and gets turned off in the morning or day time, there are sensors who senses the light and control the light accordingly. These Street lights are an important project in smart cities.

 

So here in this project, we are going to make a Simple…

Simple LDR Circuit for Dark Detecting Simple LDR Circuit

Here we have explained a dark detector circuit by using 555 timer IC and a LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) which senses the light in surroundings and if it does not find the light, it triggers the IC and glows an LED attached with the circuit. In place of LED we can also use a buzzer or speaker to use it as dark detector alarm. The concept of this LDR circuit is quite simple…

Dark Detector Alarm using 555 Timer IC and LDR Circuit Dark Detector using LDR and 555 Timer IC

Darkness detector is simply a LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) interfaced square wave generator. In this project the square wave generator is developed as a 555 Timer IC based ASTABLE MULTIVIBRATOR. As this circuit is primarily based on the working principle of LDR, before going any further to understand this LDR circuit, we must get the basic details of the LDR. The figure…
