Led: Switch

Both a touch and a contact switch are built on one PC board so that the builder can see how each works. A battery can power the contact switch but you'll need an AC power supply for the touch switch to work well. The circuit switches a relay with a 3 Amp

Circuit diagram for an ultra low-noise driver/supply circuit for white LEDs, using the IC LTC3201. Ensures a stable brightness in white LED driven items.

A circuit with 8 LEDs that flash in a somewhat random fashion (well it's not actually at random, but it does visually appear that way).

Three relay-based electronic switching circuits that switch according to light levels.

This super cool circuit behaves as a clapper-switch. You clap and the circuit turns on. Clap and it turns off. Great as a light clap switch.

The circuit uses a matched pair of 40 Khz transducer elements to detect movement up to 22 feet away. You may add a relay (not included) to switch higher voltage loads. The unit switches a LED for movement indication. Sensitivity is setable via control. Cr

The circuit flashes five LED's in sequence repeatedly until you turn it off. Flash rate is user adjustable. The circuit uses an IC chip on Board which you will then mount on the included mother board; battery holder is included. Powered by a 3 volt supply

Flashes five very bright LED's in any one of seven, user-selectable, patterns. A COB (chip-on-board) IC makes assembly very easy; the chip is supplied premounted on its own board and a motherboard contains the entire circuit. Operates on 3 volts DC, batte

Power on/off almost anything with this infrared controlled electronic switch. Some spell it Infared!

Versatile light organ based on PIC microcontroller.

Schematic for an electronic circuit that behaves as an electronic version of a Roulette wheel. Flashed 10 LEDs in sequence with slowing pace until only 1 remains illuminated.

Electronic circuit schematic that works as a Hangman LED game. Fun game to play with a friend, and very educational and entertaining circuit to build.

Schematic for an electronic audio level VU meter that uses LED's to display the volume/audio levels.

Adjust the sensitivity of this circuit to control a Relay that can turn on whatever is connected to the contacts of the relay. Very practical circuit for a variety of projects. Turn on a light when your dog barks, or set of a siren when an intruder makes

Timer circuits are handy for many experimenters projects, not to mention the photo lab. This kit has three separate circuits that can be used individually or together. Each circuit has a separate 5 Amp relay. Circuits operate on 9 Volt DC.

This circuit is an alarm for the home, car and a lot more. It employs a magnet and reed switch to trigger the circuit. An intergral piezo sounder produces the alarm sound (100dB). There is also a relay capable fo handling up to 10 amps that will switch wh

Pressing the switch while a dual LED is green advances you to the next stage, but mess-up and press while red, and you go back to the beginning. It can be tricky and a challenge. Fun and teaches some practical basic electronics. Operates on 9V battery.

This is an excellent kit for use as an introduction to electronics and circuit analysis. Seven LEDs arranged like a real die face. Push the switch and the die rolls and then slows down, stops. Ingenious circuit design used to minimize components. Uses 140

Timer kits are an ever popular item with the hobbyist. This uses a 555 timer IC and goes from 8 seconds to 8192 seconds.

Use an old PC as a "dedicated controller" to turn on or off devices lab or radio shack. The circuit includes eight relays controlled with (included) software for either DOS or Windows 3.1. The kit is a boon to the Science Fair project, laborator

The most popular use for this kit is to make you own night-light. It can also be used to switch just about any appliance on or off in light or darkness. Light sensitivity is adjustable over quite a range. The relay can handle up to 10 Amps at 110VAC. Oper
