Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • VOLTAGE TO FREQUENCY CONVERTER + 1uS LED PULSE DRIVER
    This circuit receives the signal from the above amplifier and launches powerful 1uS infrared light pulses from a low cost LED that are frequency modulated by the audio information. The 10KHz center frequency of the pulse stream is low enough so a standard infrared LED can emit ten times more light than conventional long pulse techniques. The circuit is described in more detail in the transmitter section of my Handbook of Optical Through the Air Communications.

Very Stable 40kHz Generator -  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.  (electronic circuit added 7/03)

Wireless Alarm Transmitter and Receiver -  Here are two circuits that make it possible to add up to eight detectors to an existing alarm system without running a single cable. Each transmitter has a unique number that is reported to the central unit in the event of an alarm, and the transmitter battery condition is monitored. ….must register on this site....

Wireless controlled light dimmer -  The meaning from this design is to build it in -i.e. a shaded lamp- and to switch this lamp on and off the normal way, just like it was switched before the dimmer was build in, then you could by exception dimming the lamp more or less with your TV remote control. When you switch the power on there will follow a soft-start till the lamp burns at the previously adjusted dim level. With the '0' button in TV mode you can dim the lamp, turn more and less bright. The remote control should send more then one RC5-signal per button-press seeing that the first one is ignored, this does imply that when the remote button is pressed a short time, there nothing happens. With the P+ and P- button from a system at choice you can adjust the maximum and minimum dim-levels and with the '1' button the start-up brightness. ….(electronic schematic added 11/08)

Wireless Monitoring System -  Circuit Cellar June 2004, Issue 167  --  One of the things I have learned from my everyday engineering practice is that there is always room for ingenuity and improvement.  This is particularly true for this project, which applies a couple of inexpensive microcontrollers to an unusual device: a live-catch mousetrap.
Wireless Phono Oscillator -  A "phono oscillator" is a simple, short-range AM band transmitter that was typically used to send the signal from a phonograph to a nearby radio, eliminating the need for an amplifier and speaker.  This version uses only one transistor and.....(electronic design added 6/07)
