Lamp Dimmer using 555IC PWM – Video Tutorial

This video is a tutorial of lamp dimmer using PWM. This video shows the use of PWM for lamp dimmer. In this video, the PWM kit uses a 555 IC. The brightness of the lamp is dimmed by changing the pulse. If we up the pulse slowly, the intensity of the lamp getting brighter. Here [...]

PWM Motor Control Circuit

circuit schematic

Speed control for dc motor (electric motor) can be implemented using open loop or closed loop. Closed loop controller, also known as servo controller,  or a feedback control, gives the best performance since the loop will maintain the actual speed to follow the reference. In simple application, an open loop controller can be enough if [...]

Simple Touch Switch Using 555 IC

circuit schematic

This 555 circuit will activate a buzzer and turn on a LED lamp when you touch the probe. Here is the circuit’s schematic diagram: lf you touch the plates, the lamp and the buzzer will be activated for a predetermined time period. The time period is determined by 100k resistor and the 10uF [...]
