Fridge Door Alarm Circuit using 555 and LDR Fridge Door Alarm Circuit using 555 and LDR

The name of the circuit itself infers the application. This circuit triggers the alarm if the door of Fridge is left open for the long time. When the door of the refrigerator is left open, the temperature inside the cabin will increase. This rise in temperature will be sensed by thermostat and try to cool down the cabin. It will always try to maintain constant temperature of…

School/College Quiz Buzzer Circuit using 555 Timer IC School/College Quiz Buzzer Circuit using 555 Timer IC

Quiz is an important event in any school/College institution to test the knowledge of the participants. In order to increase the difficulty, the spontaneity of the participants is also tested in which the reaction time of the participants also matters. So, to indicate the person who is ready first to answer the question has to push the buzzer. It is also hard for a judge or…

Simple Time Delay Circuit using 555 Timer Simple Time Delay Circuit using 555 Timer

In this project we are going to design a Simple Time Delay Circuit Using 555 Timer IC. This circuit consists of 2 switches one for start the delay time and other for reset. It also has a potentiometer to adjust the time delay, where you can increase of decrease the time delay by just rotating the potentiometer.

Here we have used 9 V battery and 5V…

555 Timer Based Electronic Code Lock Circuit 555 Timer Based Electronic Code Lock Circuit

Digital Code Locks are very popular in Electronics, where you need to enter a particular ‘Code’ to open the Lock. This type of Locks needs a Microcontroller to compare the entered code with the predefined code to open the Lock. We have already built these kinds of Digital Locks using Arduino, using Raspberry Pi and using 8051 microcontroller. But today here we are building…

Automatic Rain Sensing Wiper Circuit using 555 Timer IC Automatic Rain Sensing Wiper Circuit using 555 Timer IC

You have seen Automatic Wiper System in luxury cars where Windshield Wiper automatically gets activated when there is Rain or if there is some water on the windshield. Electronic Wiper is very common device that is attached in every car to wipe the water on the windshield during the rain. But generally they are manually operated and we need to switch them ON manually. But…

1 Minute Timer Circuit using IC 555 1 Minute Timer Circuit

As the name suggest 555 timer is basically a “Timer”, which create an oscillating pulse. It means for some time output pin 3 is HIGH and for some time it remains LOW, that will create a oscillating output. We can use this property of 555 timer to create various timer circuits like 1 minute timer circuit, 5 minute timer circuit, 10 minute timer circuit, 15 minute timer…
