Holiday Lighting Sequencer Circuit Diagram

Image
Flasher bulbs use a bi-metallic strip which interrupts the series circuit when the lamp becomes hot.. This is a Best Holiday Lighting Sequencer Circuit Diagram . This is Integrated circuit Ul (a 555 oscillator/timer) is wired as a conventional pulse generator. The frequency of the pulse generator is controlled by potentiometer Rll. Resistor R2 puts a reasonable limit on the highest speed attainable. The output of the pulse generator is fed to the common clock input of U2, a 74C175 quad D-type flip-flop.   Best Holiday Lighting Sequencer Circuit Diagram   Each flip-flop is configured so that its Q output is coupled to the D input of the subsequent flip-flop. Information on the D input of each flip-flop is transferred to the Q (and Q) outputs on the leading edge of each clock pulse. Switch S2 allows you to invert the information on the D input of the first flip-flop at any time during the cycle. This allows you to create a number of different sequences, which are determined...

Automatic TV Lighting Switch Circuit Diagram

Automatic TV Lighting Switch . The author is the happy owner of a television set with built-in Ambilight lighting in the living room. Unfortunately, the television set in  the bedroom lacks this feature. To make up for this, the author attached a small lamp to the wall to provide background lighting, This makes  watching television a good deal more enjoyable, but it ’s  not the ideal solution. Although the TV set can be  switched off with the remote  control, you still have to get out of bed to switch off the lamp. Automatic TV Lighting Switch Circuit diagram Automatic TV Lighting Switch Circuit Diagram Consequently, the author devised this automatic lighting switch that switches the background light on and off along with the T V set. The entire circuit is fitted in series with the mains cable of the TV set, so there’s no need to tinker with the set. It works as follows: R1 senses  the current drawn by the TV  set. It has a maximum value  of 50 m...
