Build a Simple Optocoupler Tester Circuit for Fault Detection Optocouplers frequently fail without a sound in labs or during repairs. The package appears to be undamaged, but there may be no output from the LED source or the photosensitive output stage. Testing for failure with a multimeter is only partially effective, whereas a dedicated optocoupler testing circuit provides clear results in just seconds. For related tutorials… |

ESP32 based Temperature Sensitive Smart Fan Regulator Do you feel disturbed when you need to adjust the temperature? The wait is over, the solution is here! We often feel uncomfortable while sleeping due to certain changes in room temperature, but we don’t want to get up from sleep and regulate fan/AC due to lethargy. This hampers our sleep and may put a negative effect on our health. We will use Arduino… |

AC Lights Flashing and Blink Control Circuit Using 555 Timer and TRIAC Sometimes, we might need an AC bulb flasher circuit that can blink a series of bulbs in a particular time interval for decorative purposes. By controlling the flashing time interval and sequence, we can make a series of bulbs look beautiful for outdoor decoration in Cafeteria, Restaurants, etc. or even used it for heavy Christmas light decoration, so here I have shared a… |

AC Light Dimmer using Arduino and TRIAC In our household, most of the appliances are powered from the AC supply such as Lights, TVs, and Fans, etc. We can turn ON/OFF them digitally if needed, using Arduino and Relays by building a Home automation setup. But what if we need to control the power of those devices for example to dim the AC Lamp or to Control the speed of the Fan. In that case, we have to use phase… |

Galvanic Isolation – Signal Isolation and Power Isolation An average household microwave oven operating at 110/220V AC can produce upto 2800V inside it, which is dangerously lethal. Besides that it also has a lower level AC voltage around 3.5V to light up the filament and a regulated DC voltage like 5V/3.3V for the digital electronics part like the display or timers to operate. Have you ever wondered… |

Optocoupler: Its Types and Various Application in DC/AC Circuits Opto-coupler is an electronic component that transfers electrical signals between two isolated circuits. Optocoupler also called Opto-isolator, photo coupler or optical isolator. Often in circuits, especially low voltage or highly noise sensitive circuits, Optocoupler is used to isolate circuitry to prevent electrical collision chances or to exclude… |

Raspberry Pi Emergency Light with Darkness and AC Power Line Off Detector In this session we are going to make a 9WATT Emergency Lamp using Raspberry Pi and Python. This lamp will automatically detect the darkness and absence of AC power supply, and light up when there is power failure and proper light is not there. Although there are various emergency lamps available but they are purely dedicated to serve single purpose… |
