RJ45 is used to connect Ethernet port on your computer. There are two configuration: straight and cross. Straight RJ45 cables should be used to connect between computer and device such as switch or hub, and cross RJ45 cables should be used in computer-to-computer connection. Some hub or switch has the capability to detect the cable [...]

This is a video tutorial about RJ45. This video shows how to punch down an RJ45 keystone jack using a impact tool. The first thing that we gonna do is strip the wire. It is very important because when we connect the wire, it can cause the problem. And then, put the wire on RJ45, [...]

Sawtooth wave oscillator circuit can be implemented using several methods, here we present one design that employs 555 IC. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: The core of the circuit uses general 555 oscillator configuration, but instead of using a fixed resistor to limit the current for charging the capacitor, we [...]

The configuration in the circuit diagram below can be used when a slow rise time of the output voltage is required. We can find the rise time with following formula: ton= CVoR 0.45 Capacitor C is discharged when the switch position is ON and this will maintain the voltage [...]

A square wave oscillator using 555 IC can be configured to give symmetric oscillation (50% duty cycle). Other circuit uses diodes to split the charging and the discharging paths through different resistors, but here we need no such diodes. Here is the schematic diagram: The time period for the output high is the [...]

Octave shifting or frequency doubling effect for electric guitar is done by rectifying the original signal, just like AC to DC conversion inside your AC-DC power supply adapter. The circuit for this audio effect is not new, I’ve seen it on many publications. Here I present the circuit’s schematic diagram, but I’ve redesigned the circuit [...]
