The 1-meg resistor helps protect the FET from being harmed by any accidental sparks to its Gate lead. The circuit will work fine without this resistor. Just don`t intentionally `zap` the Gate wire with a charged object or your charged finger. To test the circuit, charge up a pen or a comb on your hair, then wave it close to the little `antenna` wi

re. The LED should go dark. When you remove the electrified pen or comb, the LED should light up again. If you suspect that humidity is very high, test this by rubbing a balloon or a plastic object upon your arm. If the balloon does not attract your arm hairs, humidity is too high. When bumbing into something it can also reverse for several seconds. The time of going reverse can be changed. I`ve used 2M2 and 3, 3 uF, this will give a reverse time of about 5 seconds When you "power on" Bully it will first go backwards for some time. After a few seconds it seems that it doesn`t know what to do, it looks like it`s shivering. Then it starts of going to the brightest lightspot it can see, first slowly and then like "in a hurry". In the time doing all this stuff, each bump into a obstacle makes it move backwards for a few seconds. The time doing this can be changed with the 10 uF elco. Smaller means less seconds and bigger means reversing for more seconds. As long as the light reaching the photo-bridge of the Master SC-H is balanced, then the Slave SC-H acts as a regular, lone SC-H would. So, if one of the slave photo-diodes detects more light then the other, the inverter that controls the motor on that side changes states and is now the same as the inverter of the Master SC-H tied to the same motor. This turns that motor off and the robot will pivot around the stopped wheel toward the greater light source until the light on each...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
