1A Over Current Protection Load Switch
The Over-current limit load switch project presented here provides full protection to devices and loads from access load conditions. The default current limit is set to 1 Amp, however, this load limit is adjustable from 0.4A to 2A with the help of R4 ISET resistor. When an overload...

Article PC Watchdog – Automatic reset for remote PCs gone haywire
Today’s PCs are quite reliable, but occasionally they hang and stop functioning. Only a ‘hard reset’ will then be able to bring them back to (useful) life. This project takes care of that automatically. Especially handy with remotely located hardware!While many PCs, including...

DIY: Build a controller with a knob that can easily change the volume of any app on your PC
Ruben Henares has designed a Maxmix controller with a stylist knob that could save us the stress of having to always go through the menus and on-screen sliders to change the volume of individual apps on our PCs. The knob on the controller takes an input from the encoder/button to...

Free Elektor Circuit: Magic Key
An infra-red remote control for an (electromagnetically operated) lock? Nothing special, you will think. But some umpteen years ago this looked like magic, and it was very satisfying to build something like that yourself. Even if it was only to amaze the neighbors. Here you can see how...
