[Eric Wasatonic] had a box of SWB2433 transistors that he had very little information about. In order to discover their properties, he fired up his curve tracer to compare these transistors with more ...

This simple Mock Flasher LED simulates the indicator of a sophisticated Alarm system. It can be placed in doors, gates and vehicles to confuse intruders. The circuit is too simple using a Unijunction ...

In this post, two LED blinking circuits are given below. First one is dancing bi-color LEDs (two different color LEDs) where the two color LED will run in sequence. In the second circuit, we will ...

Tito] entered a Self-Charging LED Flasher into the Component Abuse Challenge. It’s a simple re-build of a design by the ...

An LED is commonly used as a "power on" indicator for many electronic devices. For the LED to produce discernible visible light in daylight, the forward-bias current needs to be in the moderate range ...

With cycling safety in mind, I bought a pair of low power red LED things that replace the bungs in the end of drop handlebars. They are a neat way to get a bit of extra visibility – and to give a ...

Lighting a string of LEDs at a constant brightness requires driving it with a regulated current. A boost converter is commonly used to step up the voltage to a level high enough to bias the LEDs on ...
