Have you ever needed to power a 12-volt relay in a circuit but only had 6 or 9 volts available? This simple circuit will solve that problem. It allows 12-volt relays to be operated from 6 or 9 volts, ...

With so much analog-circuit design being done by automated tools and circuit-performance analysis done with tools such as Spice, it may seem anachronistic to actually go through a basic circuit in ...

So, I'm pretty handy with a soldering iron to put together stuff, but I have little to know idea of how to go about figuring out how to build a circuit. I mean, I know what a resistor does, and a ...

This simple 4093-based audio peak detector from December 2004 monitors music and turns on a small light when the sound gets ...

AutomationDirect announces the release of a new White Paper, “Basic Pneumatic Circuits”, which discusses common pneumatic circuits that can be used alone or as building blocks in larger pneumatics ...

One of the problems encountered thus far with 3D-printing circuits with conductive filament is that it doesn’t really bond to anything, let alone solder, so how does one use it? [mikey77] wrote an ...
