Simple 50 to 300 MHz Colpitts Oscillator
Simple high efficiency Colpitts oscillator .In the higher frequency ranges, above 50 MHz, Colpitts oscillators are used because stray circuit capacitance will be in parallel with desired feedback capacitance and not cause undesirable spurious resonances that might occur with the tapped coil Hartley design.

The FM VCO shown is a grounded base design with feedback from collector to emitter. A Colpitts oscillator is one of a number of designs for electronic oscillator circuits using the combination of an inductance with a capacitor for frequency determination.As you can see in the circuit diagram , this electronic project require few electronic parts an provide a 50 MHz-300MHz VCO with a tuning range of 2:1 . link

How to Build Timer with Musical Alarm
The timer with Musical Alarm use famous CMOS oscillator/divider IC (IC1 ). Although this circuit operates in 9V its standby current drain is very low. The time delay of timer circuit can be adjusted by adjusting the preset VR1. The base of npn transistor T1 is connected to pin 3 of IC1 through resistor R4 and its emitter terminal is connected with pin 2 of melody generator IC (IC2) in order to provide positive supply when adjusted time delay is over.

Here the zener diode ZD1 is used as regulator which reduce power supply to required for operation of IC2 i.e. 3.3V. Lastly for music output the output from pin 1 of IC2 is fed to loud speaker via driver transistor and its volume is controlled by preset VR2. For starting the timer power is supplied by pressing switch SW1. Link

Build a Voltage to Frequency Converter Circuit Diagram 3
Build a Voltage to Frequency Converter Circuit Diagram 3. The input voltage, V1, causes C1 to charge and produce a ramp voltage at the output of the 741 op amp. Diodes D1 and D2 are four-layer devices. When the voltage across C1 reaches the breakover voltage of either diode, the diode conducts to discharge C1 rapidly and the op amp output goes abruptly to zero. This rapid discharge action applies a narrow pulse to G1 and G2. Positive discharge pulses produced by a positive V1 are coupled to the output only through G1, while negative pulses are coupled only through G2.
Because of the forward break-over current of diodes D1 and D2, the circuit won`t operate below a minimum input voltage. An increase of R1 increases this minimum voltage and reduces the circuit`s dynamic range. The minimum input voltage with R1 at 1 Kn is in the range of 10 to 50 m V. This input dead zone, when input signal V1 is near zero is desirable in applications that require a signal to exceed a certain level before an output is generated.

Tweeter Used to Sense Vibrations
The creator built a neat looking project which uses a piezoelectric element from a tweeter to detect vibrations. He is using a Zilog eZ8 series microcontroller which seemed to be very popular years ago.

This project dependently using a strong vibration while the enclosure has been placed on the top of vibration sensor. The LED matrix has two eyes the wandering around effects. Whenever there is no vibration being detected the eyes will shut down as if they were sleeping.

A button was placed behind to manually switch it into various modes. It uses a four AA batteries and can draw 150uA when asleep while it draws for about 150mA when up.

How to connect LCD Display on the Arduino using only 2 pins
Generally for connecting an LCD display to an Arduino using 7 strands, it usually breaks the leg that has any projects that remain few ports to be used. But there is a way, using an IC 74LS164 (8-bit serial shift register), a resistor and a diode, but its not just hardware, you have to use a library.
This Arduino library for connection of 2-wire or 3-wire using HD44780 compatible LCD display via shiftregisters. This circuit is considered "deprecated", but its worth testing.

How to Diagnose and Fix Everything Electronic
Everything. That’s a scary word, one I almost avoided including in the title. Can any book actually cover everything about a topic? Yes and no. Yes, in the sense that the principles and techniques you’ll learn can be applied to the repair of every kind of consumer electronics device presently being made or likely to be sold in the near future. No, in that it’s impossible to fit each of the thousands of types of components and countless varieties of gadgets in the world into one volume. Covering all of them in deepest detail would take a library, and a good-sized one at that.

Transistor Inverter circuit 12V to 220V 100W
This circuit power Inverter 100W, it easy and good ideas. When use the electric appliances that want 220V AC 50HZ, which have small-sized about 100Watt not exceed. By when you apply outside home, as a result have to have Mini power inverter about 100Watt, perform modify from work electricity forces of battery 12V give tall fair the work.

If you are New user electronics or want to economize or want to build electronics project use by oneself. I begs for to advise this circuit , because it uses , transistor number BC557 or the number replaces, perform oscillator generator. Then have power transistor 2N3055 numbers perform to drive coil transformer for converter voltage give tall go up 220V AC 50HZ at the electric power about 100 watt not exceed. When apply to transformer about 2A-3A.

USB Voltage Converter 5V to 12V
This is a 5Volt to 12Volt DC-DC step-up (boost) converter circuitry with the intention of is especially ideal pro the USB powered applications. primarily of all a USB harbor has two current supply modes. beforehand detecting the connected device, it food highest 100mA to the load. once recognizing the device, it increases the output current up to 500mA.

| USB Voltage Converter 5V to 12V Schematic Diagram |
Taking part in this circuit, controller (LT1618) moreover provides two input current modes. 100mA and 500mA input modes can be there selected by the user. Output currents are narrow due to the increased the makings difference on the output. as soon as the demand of the load increases, output voltage pray start to decrease. representing paradigm, if the circuit operates within the 100 mA input mode, once the load is 35 mA, the output voltage will come to pass reserved on 12V. But if the load increases to 50 mA, output voltage strength of character reduce to 8V to preserve the constant 100 mA input current.

USB to phone battery charger circuit
Without any USB to phone battery charger circuit we can charging phone battery using port on USB computer , but it will quickly damage the phone battery, and the battery will bulge. Because the voltage which was issued on usb is 5 volts , while the average-voltage phone battery 3.5 - 3.7 volts. Thats why this USB to phone battery charger circuit is required , this USB to phone battery charger circuit reduce votlage to 3.7 volt usb, but will not reduce currents and will make a durable phone battery.

Auto Changeover from Generator to Mains Supply
Because of energy crisis Load shedding may be a common problem in several countries.. Sudden power fluctuations, surge and high voltage may spoil sophisticated household appliances like TV, VCR, VCP and music system. This circuit provides protection against these problems and automatically changes the power supply from Generator output to mains supply and also switches off the generator.
Circuit descriptions
This circuit is self explanatory. When lines supply voltage crosses the preset level, Zener diode ZD4 break down and thus transistor T2 conducts, T3 does not conduct, causing the relay to de-energise. Voltage surge at the time of power resumption is protected by the delay circuit around transistor T1.
All the portable petrol and kerosene generators have a connection from CDI. To stop the engine of the generator-set, this connection is to be grounded momentarily (through the switch). This lead is to be connected with the ground through the N/C point of the relay.
Auto Changeover from Generator to Mains Supply Circuit Diagram

Instead of the one transformer, two transformers are used in series to ensure better life of the unit. Value of capacitor C2 can be increased or decreased for the variation of delay time. A negative feedback resistance, R6 (15 K-ohm to 100 k-ohm) can be incorporated between transistor T3 and T4 to overcome the damage that could be caused by voltage fluctuations.
