Cockroach Zapper - Using a PIC for this device provides a lot of useful functionality. The timing for the power pulse to the inductor is critical to getting the best Zap from your nine volt battery. The longer the current is on, the higher the voltage. Once the inductor reaches saturation, however, you are just waisting power. __ Designed by Luhan Monat-Mesa Arizona
Color Organ - This is a simple, one lamp colour organ. it is far less complicated then the Three Channel Colour Organ. it is simply a lamp controlled by an SCR. it can be built in a few minutes, and combined with other circuits to make some pretty neat effects. __ Designed by Aaron Cake
Color Organ - PIC Project This unit uses a PIC 16F84 with an 8 bit A/D. The signal from both stereo channels is combined and digitized. Each of 5 frequency bands is processed using a 16 point FFT. Then the level of each channel is output as PWM (pulse width modulation) to a set of solid state relays __ Designed by Luhan Monat - Mesa Arizona
Color Sensor for Robot - i'm developing a simple, active, color, object sensor for my robots based on three ultra-bright LEDs. An old-fashioned cadmium-sulfide sensor detects the brightness of the reflected red, green, and blue as each is turned on individually. __ Contact David Cook

Computerize Your Room/Home - So you've read about my Computerized Room or have seen those nifty home automation products advertised in the back of electronics magazines? Or perhaps someone you know has done something similar. At any rate, you have decided to try it yourself. The first thing I will say, however is that it is not cheap. You will first need a computer, but since your reading this, I assume that you already have that taken care of. Second, you will have to buy about 20 IC 's and a very expensive iSA experimenters prototyping board. These boards cost anywhere from $16 to $45, and can be purchased from your local electronics store or from Jameco Electronics (See Where To Get Parts). They have a fairly wide selection. Buy the 8 bit version, the 16 bit varsion is not needed for this project. __ Designed by Aaron Cake

Design & Analysis Of a Single-Stage Transistor Amplifier using C++ - Design and analysis of single stage amplifier using C++. Many formulae are required to calculate the parameters involved in a circuit of a transistor based audio amplifier. Some of these values involve resistors, coupling capacitor, bypass capacitor, power consumption, current flowing through different components. A good amount of time is required to calculate such parameters even with a regular calculator. Using C++ program, all the parameters can be calculated in a fraction of a second. This project presents a single-stage transistor audio amplifier that requires a total of 19 formulae to obtain the values of components and analyse the circuit.__ Electronics Projects for You
Design & Construction of Radio Frequency (RF) Oscillators - Every oscillator has at least one active device (smarties don't complicate matters for me - just read on) be it a transistor or even the old valve. This active device and, for this tutorial we'll stick to the humble transistor, acts as an amplifier. There is nothing flash about that. For this first part of the discussion we will confine ourselves to LC Oscillators and i'll keep the maths to an absolute minimum.__ Ian Purdie

Digital Lock-In Milliohmmeter - A milliohmmeter is just the tool for checking trace resistance on a printed circuit board, tracking down shorted traces, and measuring the contact resistance of a switch or connector. its the kind of tool that would come in real handy occasionally, but not often enough to justify shelling out hundreds of dollars. Wanting one anyway, I set out to make my own. it turned out to be not only an exciting project, but a true adventure of discovery as it provided a window into the workings of lock-in amplifiers __ Designed by Dick Cappels
Digital RF Field Strength Indicator - Useful as a transmitter tune-up meter or an RF sniffer, this is an RF field strength indicator that is loosely based on the Broad Band RF Field Strength Probe, described elsewhere. it detects RF via a square law detector, basically its a crystal set with gain. The bias circuit for the detector is significantly modified from the probe to reduce the effects of battery voltage droop during use. __ Designed by Dick Cappels
Digital wireless for the bench top ATtiny12 - This section describes an experimental low power, low bandwidth data signaling system that was initially made to operate at 55 MHz (television channel 2 in the U. S.). Before operating a radio transmitter, find out what kind of transmitter operation, if any, is permitted in your locality. Radio transmitter operation is a serious legal matter. This design __ Designed by Dick Cappels

DIY BFO metal Detector - BFO (beat frequency oscillator) metal detectors use two oscillators, each of which produces a radio frequency. One of these oscillators uses a coil of wire that we call the search loop. The second oscillator uses a much smaller coil of wire, and is usually inside the control box and is called the reference oscillator. By adjusting the oscillators so their frequencies are very nearly the same, the difference between them is made audible as a beat note __ Designed by Essex Metal Detectors

DIY COPPER WIRE RESISTORS - The first time I The first time I had to make a resistor, I was in an apartment in Bangkok, well more than an hour's ride and half an hour's walk to the nearest electronics component outlet. Basically, it would have been a half day trip to go out and look for a 0.1ohm resistor that I needed for the EDFET amplifier breadboard. I needed a ballast resistor to go between two emitter followers. Something small fraction of an ohm would do, so I reached for a spool of magnet wire. __ Designed by Dick Cappels
DIY Digital AC Watt Meter - Have you ever been curious about the power consumption of an appliance? For example did you wonder how much it will cost you to leave your television in standby mode whole night? Or did you want to learn how much change your refrigerator settings will make on your electric bill? if your answer is yes, you can use a wattmeter to measure the power consumption of a device. in this project we are building one.__
DIY Dual Directional Coupler, 5-1000 MHz, 20 dB - This is not a new invention. it's just a hack together of some (very) nice parts. And the result is an 'even nicer' part. (So we think :-) __ Designed by Alexander C. Frank, aka Ajarn Changpuak
