Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Scare Off Pigeons -  I have an area on my roof where a large flock of pigeons like to roost. Their nesting materials and droppings really make a mess. Often there is enough junk from them that it clogs my roof gutters. Perhaps one way to scare them away . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by David A. Johnson P.E.,  04/01/05]

  • Shadow Activated Motion Detector -  The hobby circuit below works quite well in typical indoor room lighting. I would not recommend its use in direct sunlight. Two small PIN photodiodes positioned about one inch apart form a shadow detector. With no shadow cast on the devices, both device . . . [Hobby Circuit designed by Dave Johnson P.E.,  08/21/05] 

  • Short Range Reflective Object Sensor -  Drawing only 30uA from a 3v supply, this circuit will detect a human finger with a range of about 1 inch. The sensor uses an inexpensive infrared LED and a matching photo diode . . . [Circuit by David A. Johnson P.E.,  07/09/06]

  • Solar Powered Infrared 1W Security Camera Illuminator -  Many security cameras are equipped with an array of infrared LEDs to illuminate an area in front of the camera with invisible light for night time surveillance.   However, there are times when a remote area, well away from the camera, needs additional infrared light.   The circuit below uses a modified solar powered path light to bathe a fairly large area with 850nm infrared light . . .

Serial Infrared Remote Controller -  a simple, cheap device that can be connected to any serial port to control most components that have infrared remote controls, includes schematics for receiver and transmitter. . .  [John DuBois designer]

 

Serial port controller infrared transmitter (PIC16F628) -  Infrared based electronic circuit diagrams / circuit schematics. . .  [Peter Jakab, Electrical Engineer, Engineer of Informatics]

Serial Port Controller Infrared Transmitter PIC16F628 -  Control all your devices from the PC. This infrared remote control transmitter can be controlled from the PC serial port. It speaks different remote control formats, like the Philips RC-5 standard and can be tailored to other specific types. . .  [Peter Jakab, Electrical Engineer, Engineer of Informatics]

 

Serial-driven IR remote Controller -  This paper describes a serial infrared transmitter (SIT)   capable of  generating  the infrared codes used by most current equipment that incorporates an infrared remote control.   It is operated by a computer    through  an  asynchronous  communications port.   Driver software. . .  [Author is John H. DuBois III]

Simple Wireless Radio Data Link -  This is a description of a very simple unit designed and constructed for use as a wireless data connection between two nearby computers. The error rate is excellent over short runs, and the transmission speed means that a useful PPP link can be established between the machines. Which are, of course, running Linux. . . 

 

Six channel IR remote system with  micro PIC 16F84 -  This project is a remote control system based on a pic and an universal remote controller  for TV, named SIMPLEX. . . .  [designer identified as Alfred73]

 

Smartcard-controlled Relay -  From a designer's perspective, there are no "good" or "bad" circuits. This article will show how to transform a "pirate" smart card (cheaply available almost everywhere nowadays , as consequence of digital TV piracy plague) into a legal and pacific electronic key application. Opposite to popular belief, most TV smartcards are not clones of the original and trusted ones. Instead, they often are minature versions of general purpose microcontrollers, well known to the electronics enthusiasts, like PICs from Microchip or AVR from Atmel. . . .  [Alberto Ricci Bitti]

Stable 40kHz Clock (Rodney Radford) -  ASCII format-A circuit that I have used before is based on the CD4060 (14stage binary counter) and a 640Khz ceramic resonator. The CD4060 is basically an oscillator and a ripple counter to divide the 640khz down to something more usable. . . . 

 

Supply Voltage Indicator -  Circuit designed by Miroslav Adzic. This simple and slightly odd circuit can clearly show the level of the supply voltage (in a larger device) : as long as the indicator has good 12 volts at its input, LED1 gives steady, uninterrupted (for the naked eye) yellow light. If the input voltage falls below 11 V, LED1 will start to blink and the blinking will just get slower and slower if the voltage. . .  [Miroslav Adzic-Serbia & Montenegro]
