| Of necessity, today’s (surround) amplifiers have to come with lots of inputs and outputs. However, a problem occurs if you want to use sever...
| A clap switch circuit is a classic beginner’s project. Equipment canbe switched on and off by just clapping your hands. Add a tiny microcont...
| This multi-position switch is operated by the IR transmitter with HT12R described elsewhere in the issue.The signal transmitted by the trans...
| This unit, in combination with the USB/I2C interface described elsewhere in this issue, may be used to switch four mains-powered devices on...
| You don’t need special ICs when a capacitive (or ‘touch’) switch can also be realised with an inexpensive PIC controller. This article shows...
| There are circuits that consume only a little power or require power occasionally for short periods of time. An example of this last type is...
| The directional microphone published in the July-August 2002 issue of Elektor Electronics does its job, but does not have the right directio...
| In spite of alternatives based around the Internet, SMS and e-mail, the good old DTMF remote switch still has its place, and, thanks to the...
| This circuit can be built into a power bar and used to remotely switch six socket-outlets. It is controlled via an RS232 interface and uses...
