Metronome is very important tool if you studying music playing. There are mechanical metronome device in the past, but today, electronic metronome is much more popular since it can be very simple, compact/small, reliable, and also has the most interesting feature: cheap. Here is one example of the electronic metronome schematic: Parts: [...]

The high durability nature of a light emitting diode (LED) make it suitable for ON/OFF indicator application. Because the limitation on low operating voltage, LEDs are normally applied on low voltage application. Fortunately, there is a simple method to apply LED indicator for high powerline voltage: reactance of a capacitor can be used to limit [...]

This LED flasher give similar circuit with the previous transistor LED flasher, but this circuit use a 555 integrated circuit chip as the active component. Here is the schematic diagram of the LED flasher circuit: This circuit gives alternating LED flashing, but with different flashing period between LED 1 and LED 2. The [...]

LED flasher circuit here will flash a LED using only 1.5 volts supply voltage. Normally, to make any LED lamp works, you need more than 2 volts power supply. This because LED will work only when the supply voltage is higher than its forward bias voltage, around 2 volts for red LED, and slightly lower [...]
