What are the Private Crypto Currencies?

Private Cryptos are not Bitcoin or Etherium. This Cryptos have dedicated address. So, we can track this cryptos easily.

But some coins doesn’t have any dedicated address. So, as a result we can’t track this cryptos. For this some of the countries also banned this currencies. Now India has come apart to pass a bill about a bill that might ban all famous private crypto currencies.

This Currencies are

  • Monero
  • Beam
  • Zcash
  • Dash
  • Horizen

AC Voltage Detector with Intensity Control NPN C1815

Introduction:

In this short descriptive article, I am going to discuss how to make an AC voltage detector circuit with intensity control. Here I am using some small components for making this. You can also get these components from old electronics circuit boards. We will need two NPN transistors and one PNP transistor. All connections are so simple that a beginner can also do that. I have also included schematics for better understanding. 

How does the AC voltage detector circuit works?

This circuit is based upon simple transistors. We all know the transistor is used for switching and amplification purposes.  here we are using the NPN transistors for signal amplification. The two NPN transistors are connected in the Darlington Pair configuration. This type of configuration is often used for signal amplification. 

The 2nd NPN Transistor’s amplified signal grounds the PNP Transistor. So it activates the PNP Transistor. And this PNP Transistor Runs the LEDs.

From these two stages, we can get a signal on or off whether there is an AC connection or not. If there is on or off we will direct the signal to a PNP transistor so that this PNP transistor drives two LEDs. 

This amplification was done through different stages. Like half stage and full stage.  these are connected in such a way that first you will get the voltage first and another one.  so when the stage is happening then the first led is getting voltage and the second it is not.  so only one led is running.  at the first stage, we can see e the PNP transistor is fully active so it runs all the current through the LEDs. So, In this state current flows both the LEDs. so that two LEDs light up. 

I have told only two stages in this process for better understanding.  but it is not like that it has few more than that.  so when you were taking the wire near the AC line then the signal becomes stronger and two LEDs run.  and when you take the wire far from the AC line then the two LEDs will off gradually. 

Schematics:

This schematic was designed in EasyEDA. I have also marked Emitter, Collector, Base for a better understanding of where to connect which components. Two 22R Resistors are mainly current limiting resistors. You can use any resistor value between 20R to 100R in place of a 22R resistor in case you have not found it.

The Q2 and Q3 are NPN Transistors. Here I used C1815 Transistors. Here any NPN Transistor will work just fine. The Q4 is the PNP Transistor. In this project, I used the BC558 PNP Transistor. You can also use any PNP Transistor as your wish.

The Q2 Transistor’s Base Pin is used for sensing the Pulses. so we have to connect an external Antena like thing with the transistor’s base. This thing is mainly a capacitor that mainly takes charges and after that, the transistor amplifies the signal.

For the LEDs you can use any. Like 3MM to 10MM any type of LED can be used in this circuit. I have 5MM LEDs laying around so I used 5MM Yellow LEDs.

For the Supply voltage I used 2S 18650 Li-ion Battery. Any voltage of 5V – 9V should be fine for this AC detector circuit with intensity control.

Components Used in this Project:

  • 18650 Battery
  • 18650 Battery Holder
  • LED
  • Resistor Set
  • Capacitor Set
  • 3W LED
  • 10MM LED

12v LED Dimmer With IRF3205 MOSFET and 1UF AC Capacitor

LED Dimmer circuit with MOSFET

Introduction:

LED Dimmer circuit is a simple circuit. It helps us to Increase and decrease the brightness of the LED. Previously it was common that we would use some type of Controllers (For simple PWM signal Generation we use 555 Timer IC) to make the PWM signal and from the PWM signal we will we would drive the MOSFET. This is a very old process of dimming the LED.

Schematics:

Here is the simple schematics which I designed in EasyEDA.

LED Dimmer circuit with MOSFET
LED Dimmer circuit with MOSFET

How does the LED Dimmer with Capacitor work?

We can use MOSFET’s basic characteristics for making the circuit. We all know that the MOSFET is a special kind of Transistor that is more efficient and more powerful than General BJT Transistors. Every MOSFET has an inbuilt capacitor in it. This capacitor is very small. So, we can’t vary the voltage using the capacitor inside of the MOSFET. So, I used an external AC capacitor. Here the polarity is changing so we can’t use a DC capacitor here because there will be reverse voltage in the DC capacitor. 

And you know what DC capacitors don’t like reverse voltage. So, In this current stage, we can’t use a DC capacitor. So, we have to use an AC capacitor only where the polarity is changing. 

If you see the circuit carefully here you will find that there is a gate resistor for charging the capacitors slowly. So, It will charge and discharge the capacitor slowly.  Here we are using some small buttons for charging and discharging purposes. So, the upper button is directly connected to the Vcc.  

The upper button directly charges the capacitor and it activates its drain to the source path gradually. And also you can see there is a push-button corrected to the GND.  It is mainly a discharging stage. So, when you press this button then the capacitor discharges gradually by the 1M resistor. 

This sequential charging and discharging makes possible us to  varying the voltage. 

Connection with Components:

Here is the simple components view for the circuit.

LED Dimmer circuit with MOSFET

Limitation:

In schematics you can see there are two buttons connected in series one is connected to the ground and the other is connected to the Vcc. So, The main and the most annoying limitation is that in the circuit you can’t connect both switches at the same time. You have to press the switches one at a time. It is the only limitation I found about this circuit. 

In future I am trying to overcome this problem by new circuit. For now this is the simplest LED dimmer circuit with only capacitor and some buttons.

This the demonstration video from creative Creator. Watch it and you will understand how to wire everything.

Conclusion:

So, all in all, this is a pretty simple circuit for beginners who want to start their electronics journey. You know what this hobby is not that expensive. you can harvest many electronics from old, not working boards. Like me, I have used all inverter board MOSFET in this video. And for the capacitor, you can use any high-value capacitor higher than 1UF so that you can get high dimming stages. and for the resistor, the rule also applies the same. You can use any high-value resistor greater than 1M  is also fine for this project. And don’t forget to subscribe to Creative Creator for more amazing content like this. 

Have a great day!

Simple 1N4007 Diode Darkness Sensor Circuit

Here I made a simple Darkness sensor circuit using a Diode. Every Diode is mainly made up of P-type and N-type semiconductors.

These semiconductors are secured in a Black casing. This is because light from outside will create obstacles to the Diode’s main works.

Here I removed the protective cover of the Diode and exposed it with direct light and I found there is a continuity going on to the circuit.

So, I used these specific characteristics to make a simple Darkness sensor.

Components:

  • 1N4007 Diode
  • BC547 Transistor
  • 3.7v Li-ion Battery
  • 1S Battery Holder
  • 1M Resistor

Circuit Schematics:

There is the simplified diagram made through EasyEDA.

How does the 4007 Simple Light Sensor work?

For sensing the light we generally use LDR also known as the light-dependent resistor. This is like a special type of resistor which can change its resistor value according to the light intensity. So it means that when the intensity of the light is high then the resistor value will be lower and when the intensity of the light is low then the resistor value will be infinite. 

 I have found nearly the same characteristics in a general-purpose diode. That’s why I just broke a diode shell and I find there are two conductors inside In it. They are P and N-type Semiconductors. The semiconductors and mainly doped with Silicon. So when we expose the internal material of the diode then the diode becomes conductive and able to flow current through it. 

In the same principle, I made the circuit if you see the circuit diagram carefully you can see the diode is connected in Reverse Bias. So it means that it will not flow any current from Vcc to the ground without any modification. 

So now the current flowing path is from Vcc to the Q2’s Base and now this signal is very small so it will not able to run the LED. That’s why we need to amplify the signal for using it. So, here it comes the Q2’s emitter pin is connected to Q1’s Base Pin so now this signal is amplified. This amplifier signal is now able to run or drive the LED. 

 This is a simple case. After when we modify the diode we can see when we give light to the diode then the LED will off 

Here is why…

When we give light to the diode then it became conductive. so we all know that the current flows from the shortest path. so the current will flow from Vcc to the ground through the 1M resistor and the diode. No current will flow into the Q2’s base. So it will not activate the Q2 as well as the Q1 and the LED will not run.

Conclusion:

The main point is the diode is not that much light sensitive. So we will need a high intensity of light for running this circuit. Here I used a phone flash which has a high intensity of light. So this works just fine. 

Attiny13a IR Remote Control

Today in this article we are going to discuss how to make an IR remote controller with an Attiny microcontroller. We can use any microcontroller for this project but for low being low complexity and making the circuit as small as possible we are using an AtTiny13a Microcontroller.

How Does the Microcontroller-based remote control works?

Every Remote has an integrated chip inside it. When any company makes Any smart device then they just give a hex code to the program IC.  So, first, we have to identify the hex code.  And it is very simple by using the given code in the  Arduino example code. Then we will map the values to the ATtiny Micro-controller Pins. In this simple way, we can map any necessary switch and make the smallest remote.

PCB Making:

I made the schematics. Then I ordered it from PCB from JLCPCB. Their work is professional. PCB looks Promising and can ship to your doorstep within a week. I have to say their customer service is superior. So, I prefer JLCPCB from Other PCB Manufacturers. You can also order from them.

TL494 100W Inverter Circuit

Today in this article we are going to make a 100W Inverter circuit with TL494 PWM IC. The main function of the IC is to create variable PWM Pulses for different applications. Now for making the Inverter we have to make a 50Hz signal ( By calculating PWM Pulses). We will use a couple of other complimentary components for making the Inverter possible. The components are Some Resistors and a capacitor.

If we check the IC Datasheet then we will find some Important equations to calculate the important parameters of the IC. Sometimes it is also not possible to get the exact value of the components. Then our motive will be to find the components which have the nearest value.

Components for the Circuit:

  • TL494 IC – 1
  • IRFZ44N MOSFET – 2

  • Soldering Iron Fine Tip.
  • Soldering Iron Tip Cleaner
  • Pliers
  • Jigsaw.
  • Drill Machine.
  • Different Drill Bits.
  • Glue Gun

  • PCB Holder.

Circuit Diagram:

The P1 terminal block is used for sending the 12V DC Power and The J13 terminal is for giving the 12V Input to the circuit. For the Mosfets, you can use an N-channel MOSFET as your wish. I had the IRFZ44n Mosfet lying around so I used that. You can also use IRF3205 as well.

How does the TL494 Inverter work?

This is the simplified diagram for the 100W Inverter Project. R1 and R2 are the Gate resistors for the MOSFETs. this protects the MOSFET from over-voltage damage. The voltage that is needed to operate the MOSFET will be provided by the Gate resistor. So, The gate resistor is a very important component.

Now for generating the 50Hz signal we only need 2 basic components. One Capacitor couple with a resistor. And the P1 Terminal block is for sending the squire wave pulses to the Transformer Primary coil. Now from the Transformer secondary coil, we will get the 220V Output.

PCB Making:

I made the schematics and the PCB. Then I ordered it from PCB manufacturer JLCPCB. They are professional at their work. PCB looks Promising and can ship to your doorstep within a week. I have to say their customer service is superior. So, I prefer JLCPCB from Other PCB Manufacturers. You can also order PCB from JLCPCB with the following Gerber file.

Variable Dimmer Circuit with ATTiny85 Microcontroller

How to make a Variable Dimmer Circuit with ATTiny85 Microcontroller?

Today in this article we are going to make a variable LED Dimmer circuit with a very small microcontroller that is ATTiny85. I will also add the needed codes below. For now, let’s try to understand basically the variable LED Dimmer Circuit Works? and what are the basic components you will need.

ATTiny85 Working:

ATTiny85 is an 8 Pin single chip Microcontroller. It has 2 PWM Pins and 3 Digital Pins. You can configure the IC with Arduino IDE as your wish. Generally, all Arduino boards need an external crystal oscillator for running. But it has an internal 8MHz Oscillator inside in it.

So, the ATTiny85 makes sense when you are dealing with Low Input and Output counts. Like a Hall Effect Sensor or an IR Sensor for input and an LED for the Output Indication. In these cases, we use ATTiny85 Microcontroller.

Circuit Diagram:

Here is the simplified Diagram of the Circuit. I designed it from EasyEDA Website.

Components Needed:

  • Potentiometer (Any value from 10k to 250k, but 10k is preferred) – 1
  • 220 Ohm Resistor – 1
  • LED (Most commonly we use 5MM LED) – 1
  • ATTiny85 – 1
  • 5V Power Supply – 1

Tools Needed:

  • Soldering Iron
  • Solder Paste
  • Pliers
  • Cutter
  • IC Holding Stand

How to make it?

First, you will find a circle on the IC. This circle is used to indicate the Pin numbering of the IC. Now from their sequentially we count 1 to 8 Pinout. First, connect the LED positive with the IC Pin 5. Now connect the 220 Ohm Resistor with the negative of the LED. Now connect the other wire of the LED resistor with GND. In the same way, we will connect the Potentiometer with the AtTint85. and the circuit is complete.

Now upload the given code to the ATTiny Microcontroller at next you will be able to control the Duration of the LED Dimming.
