Published:2012/9/3 3:14:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: 24 V DC , Proportional, Motor , Speed Control

National LM378 amplifier is used as a basis for economical proportional motor speed controller. This integrated circuit is able to deliver 700 mA continuous current for such DC motor applications such as antenna rotors or motor controlled valves. The basic of proportional control is as simple as amplifying the error signal to produce an action in such direction that minimize the error. This error signal is generated by a mechanically coupled potentiometer wired in a Wheatstone bridge R1-R2-P1-P2 configuration. The potentiometer P1 is coupled to the motor shaft to sense the actual speed of the motor, act as continuous feedback sensor. (Source: freecircuitdiagram)   (View)

555 IC Hysteresis for Dark Activated Relay

Published:2012/9/3 3:06:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: 555 IC , Hysteresis , Dark Activated Relay

In the relay’s point of view, dark activated means the relay will be activated when the light intensity fall below a certain threshold. Without hysteresis, the relay will be activated and deactivated if the sensed brightness fall under or rise above a single point of darkness level. With hysteresis, the darkness level for activating and deactivating the relay will be different, and this solve the relay oscillation problem when the light intensity is swinging up and down around a single point of no hysteresis activation level. We can employ the hysteresis of a 555 IC to improve the sensing of a drop in light, since the internal 555 circuit has 1/3 and 2/3 supply voltage thresholds. We have to use a LDR or CDS cell with aout 2 to 8 k resistance at desired light level. At the dark, the resistance of the LDR will rise and activate the relay if the voltage at pin 2 reach 2/3 of supply voltage (8V). After the relay is activated, more light is needed to make the LDR decrease its resistance until the voltage at pin 2 falls below 1/3 supply voltage (4V). (Source: freecircuitdiagram)   (View)

Sound-Controlled Relay

Published:2012/9/3 2:38:00 Author:Ecco | Keyword: Sound-Controlled, Relay

This is a relay circuit that detect the presence of sound to activate the relay. You can use this sound-controlled relay as voice operated switch, light control, toys, or any other application that can be controlled by a switch. Just replace the switch with this relay and now you have a sound-controlled device. This circuit uses a 741 operational amplifier to amplify the signal form microphone with the gain about 100 times. This circuit must use a dynamic circuit, or an electret microphone which has a battery inside. A condenser microphone can’t be used since this circuit has no biasing circuitry. After the signal from microphone is amplified, a rectifier-doubler circuit built with D1 and D2 convert the AC signal to DC. After rectified, the AC ripple is filtered by C4 capacitor to smooth the signal. Finally, a potentiometer R5 is used to adjust the sensitivity of this circuit, calibrating the point of how loud the sound would turn on the relay.
