Passion in Electronics
In the world of electronics, nothing is created equal. This is also applicable to batteries. A 10AH (ampere-hour) rated battery is not exactly 10AH in actual. This variation on capacity is a big problem when connecting battery in series because the battery with least capacity will be the first to full charge and full discharge. This is where you need a battery balancing circuit.

Solar power is a renewable energy from the sun. But there are times that is raining for several days and during those days, our solar power might not be sufficient for our needs. On this project we will create an automatic solar backup power system to automatically connect to the AC grid when the battery level gets very low.

It uses 4 of it so it can produce a total of 80W. It can output up to 30W with a bit higher THD. Maximum attainable power is 120W total.

In search for a library, I found Adafruit oled libray problem. The display does not seem to work with this library. Upon doing some research, I gave up and do this work around instead.
Out of curiosity, I tear-down this iRig audio interface that I used sometimes to record my guitar solo. I didn’t expect the circuit to be complex since this device is cheap (must be fake), only cost around $3.

Build this simple 2 band tone control Circuit using transistor with complete schematic and layout you can download.
Continue reading “Simple but effective 2 Band Tone Control Circuit using transistor”I wanted to build this project a long time ago but I have no time to do it. Today I decide to make a PCB design for it. Unfortunately I do not have any time to make the actual prototype. I will post my design so that anyone can build their own prototype.
If you love to build audio amplifier then you must be familiar with 2SC5200 and 2SA1943 power transistors. They are one of the most used power transistors for power audio amplifiers. While looking for a next project, I found this simple layout on the internet so I decided to make my own version with some few improvements.
A good way to protect your speaker from overloading is by using a limiter circuit. This circuit protects your speaker by limiting the input signal to the amplifier by a certain level.
This circuit uses an IC from New Japan Radio Inc. It is NJM2761 which is specially designed for limiting audio signals. It is designed for powered speaker system to protect the speaker from overloading.
