Simple Doorbell Controlled Porchlight Circuit Diagram


Build a simple Doorbell-Controlled Porchlight Circuit Diagram. This add-on circuit automatically turns on your porchlight when your doorbell rings, so you can see the person ringing the doorbell at the doorstep. This also helps to guard against burglars, who usually press the doorbell switch to confirm that there is no one at home. By turning on the porchlight, the circuit will trick them into believing that someone is inside the home.

You can easily connect the circuit to your doorbell. The light remains on for around 20 seconds and then turns off. This duration is enough for you to find your way in the dark to open the door. However, duration can be varied by changing the RC components (R1 and C2).

Simple Doorbell-Controlled Porchlight Circuit Diagram




When you momentarily press push-to-on DPST switch (S1), the AC mains is supplied to:
1. The doorbell via S1(b) and it rings.
2. Stepdown transformer X1 via S1(a) and it delivers 12V AC at its secondary. The secondary output is rectified by diode D1 and filtered by capacitor C1 to provide the required DC. The DC voltage triggers timer 555 (IC1) and its output at pin 3 goes high for the preset time. Simultaneosly, the relay energises and AC mains flows via its N/O contacts to switch on the porchlight bulb.

Triac 1 is wired as an automatic light controller to switch on the porchlight at night and switch it off during day. The conduction angle of triac 1 depends on the bias provided to the gate of the triac through diac 1, which, in turn, is controlled by preset VR1 and the light falling on LDR1.

NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram

The NE566 Function Generator is a Voltage-Controlled Oscillator of exceptional linearity with buf fered square wave and triangle wave outputs. The frequency of oscillation is determined by an external resistor and capacitor and the voltage applied to the control terminal. The Oscillator CAN be programmed over a ten-to-one frequency range by proper selection of an external resistance and modulated over a ten-to-one range by the control voltage, with exceptional linearity.  FMAX = 1 MHz     WIDE 1000:1 Continuous Sweep Possible  NE566 Function Generator Circuit Diagram Pdf Datasheet  Sourced by : Circuitsstream

Transceiver Homebrew QRP SSB 80M Band

Radio communication transceiver is a radio transmitter at the same time the plane doubles as a radio receiver used for communication purposes. It consists of the transmitter and the receiver are assembled in an integrated way. In mulamula generation, the transmitter or receiver or transmitter and receiver sections are assembled separately and is part of a stand sendirisendiri and can work well sendirisendiri Currently employed both parts are integrated in turn. Aircraft simple transmitter consists of an oscillator generating radio vibration and this vibration after vibration boarded with our voice, in a technique called dimodulir radio, then by the antenna is converted into radio waves and transmitted. As we know that the sound waves we can not reach long distances, although its power is quite large, while the radio waves with a relatively small force can reach a distance of thousands of kilometers. In order for our voice can reach a far distance, then our voice superimposed on radio w...
