Step Up Booster Powers Eight White LEDs Project

This is a Step-Up Booster Powers Eight White LEDs Project . Simal white LEDs are capable of delivering ample white light without the fragility problems and costs associated with fluorescent backlights. They do pose a problem however in that their forward voltage can be as high as 4 V, precluding them being from powered directly from a single Li-Ion cell. Applications requiring more white LEDs or higher efficiency can use an LT1615 boost converter to drive a series connected array of LEDs . The high efficiency circuit (about 80%) shown here can provide a constant-current drive for up to eight LEDs . Driving eight white LEDs in series requires at least 29 V at the output and this is possible thanks to the internal 36-V, 350-mA switch in the LT1615. The constant-current design of the circuit guarantees a steady current through all LEDs , regardless of the forward voltage differences between them. Although this circuit was designed to operate from a single Li-Ion battery (2.5V to 4.5V), ...

Lighting Up Model Aircraft

This circuit provides aircraft modellers with extremely realistic beacon and marker lights at minimum  outlay. The project ’s Strobe out-put (A) provides four brief pulses repeated periodically for the wing  (white strobe) lights. In addition the Beacon output (B) gives a double pulse to drive a red LED for indicating the aircraft’s active operational status. On the proto-type this is usually a red rotating  beacon known as an Anti-Collision Light (ACL). The circuit is equally useful for road vehicle modellers, who can use it to flash headlights and blue emergency lights. Circuit diagram : Lighting Up Model Aircraft Circuit Diagram All signals are generated by a 4060 14-stage binary counter and some minimal output selection logic. Cycle time is determined by the way the internal oscillator is con-figured (resistor and capacitor on pins 9/10) and can be varied within quite broad limits. High-efficiency LEDs are your first choice for the indicators connected to the Bea-con and Strob...

Tutorial Making a Digital Counter Up 0 to 9 using IC 7490

Description counter 0-9 This counter 0-9 in easy to assemble, basic to use for other more complex where we make use of integrated circuits didactically as these could be replaced by other more complex circuits with simple application of microcontrollers. Counter operation 0-9. This counter circuit is formed by a generator essentially comprises a wave 555 which functions as a circuit astable multivibrator operating this type is characterized by an output square waveform with width defined by the designer.The outgoing wave frequency can be controlled by the resistor is connected between pins 7-8 and 2-7 in addition to the electrolytic capacitor connected to pin 2 of land. The pulse output can be varied by 100K ohm potentiometer (RV1). Circuit counter The 7490 is a counter asynchronous decades BCD to binary, this counter counts the falling edges of the clock pulses generated by 555, 4 outputs move counter to count in binary 0 in BCD (0000) to 9 BCD (1001). To counter operation must co...

High Current Step Up Converter Using MAX641

High Current Step-Up Converter Using MAX641 integrated circuit, manufactured by Maxim IC, can be designed a very simple step-up converter using few electronic components. This step-up high voltage converter electronic projects allows a maximum output current up to 1A. High Current Step-Up Converter Circuit Diagram Low battery voltage detector input compare LB1 with internal reference of 1.31 V. LBO output goes in low state when the voltage at pin 1 falls below 1.31 V. The threshold voltage for "low battery", is determined by voltage divider R1-R2. LED D1 illuminates the LBO output when the input voltage falls below 2.62 V. Input voltage must remain below 5 V. The maximum effectiveness is 80% conversion.

How to set up a Fender Telecaster style guitar

Today I’m going to show you how to set up a Fender Telecaster-style guitar. We are only going to do a basic setup, which is enough most of the time, but occasionally more is required, such as filing the nut, or doing some fretwork. If you're setting up a Stratocaster-style guitar, you might prefer to have a look at this blog post: http://diystrat.blogspot.com/2011/03/how-to-set-up-electric-guitar.html Alternatively, if you're setting up a Les-Paul-style guitar, you should have a look here: http://diystrat.blogspot.com/2012/09/how-to-set-up-gibson-les-paul-style.html So what does a basic setup involve? Let me break it down for you, as follows: Checking and adjusting neck bow (how straight the neck is) Checking and adjusting saddle height Checking and adjusting the intonation (how far back or forward the saddles need to sit at the bridge to keep your guitar as in tune as possible no matter what fret you’re playing) Those three steps will have a dramatic effect on your guitar and ...
