Telephone Operated Remote Control using PIC16F84a MicroController - This design controls up to 8 devices using a PIC microcontroller (PIC16F84A) connected to the phone line. The unique feature here is that unlike other telephone line based remote control, this device does not need the call to be answered at the remote end so the call will not be charged. This device depends on number of rings given on the telephone line __
Teleremote Control - Here is a teleremote circuit which enables switching ‘on’ and ‘off’ of appliances through telephone lines. It can be used to switch appliances from any distance, overcoming the limited range of...__ Electronics Projects for You
Target_Shooting_Flasher - Problem: Design a unique indicating device which would detect when a steel target on a shooting range was hit with a bullet by flashing a bright light. A crowded range masked the pinging sounds. Solution: The circuit is shown below. The solution is broken into two separate parts - (1) a small box containing a piezoelectric shock sensor and (2) a trigger circuit connected to the main control box, positioned some 15 feet away. The two assemblies were linked through a coax cable. The coax cable has a thick jacket and is buried a couple inches below the surface. . . . Dave Johnson, Lubbock TX-DC Magazine - 1st Q 2012

Temperature Controled Fan - This circuit controls very accurately a fan of any size. Just adjust the associated resistors for a different type and you're all set. The above circuit diagram is for a small cpu-fan, rated 12V at 12mA current. __ Designed by Tony van Roon VA3AVR
Temperature Controlled NiCad Charger - This circuit is for a temperature controlled constant current battery charger. It works with NICD, NiMH
, and other rechargeable cells. The circuit works on the principle that most rechargeable batteries show an increase in temperature when the cells becomes fully charged. Overcharging is one of the main causes of short cell life, hot cells pop their internal seals and vent out electrolyte. As cells dry out, they lose capacity. This circuit can quickly charge a rechargeable battery pack without any negative effects. This circuit uses a 22VDC power supply, my version 2 circuit will run from a 12VDC supply such as a solar-powered or automobile power system. __ Designed by G. Forrest Cook

Temperature Controller Drives Peltier Cooler - 06/08/95 EDN-Design Ideas The circuit in "Peltier element controls itself," by Dmitrii Loukianov (EDN, October 27, 1994, pg 86) is elegant, but it suffers from two potential problems that could arise in some applications. The first is possible switching-noise injection from capacitive and inductive coupling at the front end of a sensitive analog-signal-conditioning chain (for example, in a CCD-cooling application). The second potential problem is Peltier-stack performance degradation from intermittent, fast-switching drive current. At least one UK-based Peltier-cooler manufacturer recommends uninterrupted dc drive. Design by Dr Trevor Preston, Cambridge, UK

Temperature Data Logger - This project will show you how to build Temperature Logger using a Stamp II connected to a PC serial port. I was planing on using the DS1620, but used a LM335 temperature sensor because it only needs a two wire interface and it is easy to waterproof. All i did to waterproof it was to put some heat srink tubing around the 3 wires then around the hole sensor __ Designed by shaunwilson19 @ yahoo.com

Temperature Monitor measures three thermal zones - 12/11/03 EDN-Design Ideas You can use an ADT7461 single-channel temperature monitor; an ADG708 low-voltage, low-leakage CMOS
8-to-1 multiplexer; and three standard 2N3906 pnp transistors to measure the temperature of three separate remote thermal zones (Figure 1). Multiplexers have resistance, RON, associated with them; the channel matching and flatness of this resistance normally result in a varying temperature offset. This system uses the ADT7461 temperature monitor, which can automatically cancel resistances in series with the external temperature sensors, allowing its use as a multichannel temperature monitor.
