A Simple Metal Detector Circuit Using Beat Frequency Oscillator (BFO)

circuit schematic

Metal Detector Circuit Topology One of the simplest method of metal detecting is by beat frequency oscillator. Basically, the circuit consist of two balanced oscillator. One oscillator provides the reference signal, and other oscillator is acting as the detector element. The reference oscillator’s frequency is fix, while the detector oscillator is variable depending on [...]

Simple PWM Circuit Using Inverter Gates

circuit schematic

This PWM  circuit needs only two inverter gates, so you can build up to 3 independent PWM circuit using only one IC chip, since there are at keast 6 inverter gates in one IC package. Here is the schematic diagram of the circuit: Please remember that you should connect any input pins of [...]

Single Supply Octave Shifter: A Frequency Doubler Effect For Electric Guitar

circuit schematic

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 [...]

Blackbox Sustain, An Audio Effect for Electric Guitar

circuit schematic

Sustain effect in electric guitar is similar with compressor effect. The purpose of this effect is to make the note last longer when the string is plucked. The mechanism is actually work by controlling an amplifier gain, where the gain is automatically increased when the note fade out, therefore the note will be sustained to [...]

Linear TEC (Thermo Electric Cooler) Driver

circuit schematic

Thermoelectric cooler (TEC) or Peltier cooler is becoming popular because of its robustness and maintenance free characteristic. Here is one example of a linear thermoelectric cooler (TEC) driver circuit. This driver  is capable of delivering ±2A into a TEC. This circuit operates on a single +5V supply and drives the TEC in the most preferred [...]

Simple Humidity Sensor

circuit schematic

You can use a humidity sensor to give an alert of boat leakage, or when your books start being flooded by heavy rain attack on your broken roof, or anything you can imagine. A simple humidity sensor (a humidity probe) can be constructed using two copper wires placed as close as possible to each other, [...]
