2025-10-06 Schematic Of On-Off Touch Switch, Latching

This circuit uses four BJTs – 3 NPN and 1 PNP high current to drive the load. It has two touch pads, one for On and one for Off. I don’t see any information about the power supply voltage or load current. Some maximum voltage and current should be given for the circuit as shown.

2025-08-03 Walkie-textie Project

Uses a 12 key keyboard and texts like an old Nokia phone with multiple keypresses. http://www.technoblogy.com/show?2AON&fbclid=IwQ0xDSwL88ShjbGNrAvzr1WV4dG4DYWVtAjExAAEeX19OxuYe1QO8mrox71F6Zl_KCUppukTfJn3iSrHyEVT51xLwOmz2jhPHLKY_aem_is4HJCST113TNXDXWaTXGw

2024-09-20 Simple 1 Digit Counter, IR Beam Break

This short uses a CD4026, a 7 segment display, 9V battery, some resistors, an IR LED and a CdS photocell or phototransistor.  Break the IR beam and the display advances to the next digit. https://www.facebook.com/reel/525596709839365?mibextid=9drbnH

2024-08-31 AM Transmitter, Low Power

This is an AM transmitter that this guy built.  He says it’s rich in harmonics – it has no tuning nor low pass filtering and the stages are class C, no forward bias.  It should have all the things used to minimize harmonics, like a low pass filter.  Class C operation is used to maximize

2024-08-21 Adjustable Power Supply Uses Sziklai Pair

This messy bunch of parts is a 0 to 9V adjustable power supply.  The original power supply board connected the two transistors in the Darlington Configuration.  The unregulated 12V input goes through a 187 ohm resistor to a 10V zener diode to give a stable reference voltage.  This voltage is fed to a 2.5k linear

2024-08-21 Video: Build An FM Microphone

This 2.5 min video uses a SS8050 transistor which is not very good for a 100 MHz oscillator. https://www.facebook.com/reel/347155875050146?mibextid=9drbnH&s=yWDuG2&fs=e

2024-04-20 RCWL-0516 Microwave Doppler Motion Sensor Module Schematic KO4BB

The modules use both the RCWL-9616 and the BISS-0001 but it seems the schematics are all labeled BISS-0001.  The parts values are different.  He gives some good information about them.  They operate at 3.5 and 3.98 GHz – the ones I have were advertised at 5 GHz.  Also he shows his own version that uses a

2024-04-10 FM Regenerative Receiver Using MPF102 JFET

A basic one transistor regen receiver uses an MPF102 JFET to give the regenerative gain.  Also uses two transistors to amplify the audio to drive an earphone.  https://www.circuitbasics.com/what-are-fm-receivers/

2024-03-29 FM Crystal Set Uses Helical Resonator For Tuning

This is a long article but a very interesting project.  It uses HSMS-2850 Schottky detector diodes in a discriminator.  He uses WE 1200 ohm sound powered headphones.  He’s Canadian. https://electronbunker.ca/eb/FMCrystalSet.html
