Aquatimer
AquaTimer is a programmable timer for 12V devices such as lighting, solenoid valves or pumps not only for aquariums. It has three switchable channels for currents up to 2A each and up to 5A in total. Connected lighting can be dimmed if desired and slowly faded in and out to simulate sunrises and sunsets. The internal RTC of the ATtiny is used as a clockwork in conjunction with a 32.768kHz crystal. A backup battery keeps the clock running even if the external power supply is interrupted. Settings are made using three buttons and the OLED display.... show more14 Comments

Fire Alarm Circuit
Fire Alarm circuit project, a thermistor works as the heat sensor. When temperature increases, its resistance decreases, and vice versa. Fire Alarm system works off a 6V-12V regulated power supply. Timer IC NE555 (IC1) is wired as an astable multivibrator oscillating in audio frequency band.... show more9 Comments

Create a schematic diagram of an electric fence controller using the NE556 dual timer IC. The circuit must include all components with clear electronic symbols (resistors, capacitors, transistors, diode, relay) connected by lines as in a real circuit diagram. Specifications: 1. Power supply: - Vcc = +12V connected to pin 14 of the NE556. - Pin 1 of the NE556 to ground. 2. Timer A (active 10 seconds): - Pin 2 (Trigger A) receives a pulse from transistor Q2 (contact detector). - Pin 6 (Threshold A) connected to Pin 7 (Discharge A). - R1 = 1 MΩ between Pin 7 and +12V. - C1 = 10 µF between Pin 6 and ground. - Pin 3 (Out A) goes through a 4.7 kΩ resistor to the base of Q1 (BC547 NPN transistor). - Pin 3 also connected via a 100 nF capacitor to Pin 13 (Trigger B of Timer B). 3. Timer B (rest 10 seconds): - Pin 9 (Discharge B) and Pin 8 (Threshold B) connected together. - R2 = 1 MΩ between Pin 9 and +12V. - C2 = 10 µF between Pin 8 and ground. - Pin 12 (Out B) can be optionally used to block retrigger of Timer A. 4. Relay driver stage: - Q1 = BC547 NPN transistor. - Base connected through 4.7 kΩ resistor to Pin 3 (Out A). - Emitter to ground. - Collector connected to one side of the relay coil. - Other side of relay coil connected to +12V. - A diode 1N4007 placed in parallel with the relay coil (cathode to +12V, anode to collector of Q1). - Relay contacts switch the +12V supply to the electric fence energizer. 5. Contact detector: - Shunt resistor ≈0.1 Ω placed in series with the fence output. - Q2 = BC547 NPN transistor, base connected to the shunt, emitter to ground, collector to Pin 2 (Trigger A). - When current flows through the shunt, Q2 provides a trigger pulse to Timer A. Please draw the schematic in a standard style with components connected by straight lines, not in block diagrams. Show clear pin numbers of the NE556 and all external components.... show more1 Star
