Electronic Hobby Projects - Chemelec

This is one of the oldest Electronics DIY Project Sites in the Internet. I now discovered he has a dedicated domain too. Gary from Canada has many useful schematics and even provides kits and parts.

Some projects that may ring bells in your DIY Brain

• A 10 Watt RMS Amplifier
• A Solar or Wind Charger/Dump Circuit
• A Cat or Dog Detector
• Inverter, 12 volt unit, Mos-Fet design
• A 25 LED Chaser". (Sequencer)
• A Metal Detector, for Pin Pointing.
• Watt Meter", Measures True RMS Watts
• Pulse Induction Metal Detector

A Mos-Fet Power Inverter

This circuit will provide a very stable "Square Wave" Output Voltage. Output Frequency is Adjustable and Stable. Can be used to deliver a wide range of output voltages by using appropriate turns ratio. Additional MosFets can be paralleled for higher power.

This is a combination of LCD PIC, an assembled printed circuit board from ModernDevice.com, a 20X4 LCD with Blue / White backlight and interfacing connector



This design provides an interface between a 9600 baud (or similar) serial line from a Microchip PIC, Arduino, Parallax Basic Stamp, NetMedia BX24, PICAXE and similar and a character LCD having an HD44780 interface.

Serial LCD Kit with Variable LED Backlight

The serial interface is TTL. That is, the idle state is a TTL logic one, or near +5 VDC. This is often termed non-inverting or true. This provides direct compatibility with the UART associated with a PIC, SerOut on a Basic Stamp and Com3 on a BX24. When interfacing with a PC or similar where the logic is inverted, an inverter is required. This might be as simple as a single 2N3904 NPN transistor.

Elektronik und Mikrocontroller - Burkhard Kainka

Author of books and CDs, Microcontroller, interface programming or new ideas for hobby projects. The Electronics Fundamentals for hobby and education helps the beginner with valuable information.

The electronic logbook is amazing, you can have a look at so many circuits and projects with photos. You will learn many things and make you develop skills.

For the advanced Hobbyist there are projects on Microcontroller and Measuring and control devices with the USB and PC Interfacing,



SDR Radio with USB

Electronics experiments for children - "For children it is easier than for adults. Since it is enough, if someone applied sufficient time and a little tinkering with them. Often all it takes is a little push to arouse interest and skills."
