Headlight Modulator for Motorcycle
https://www.electronics-lab.com/headlight-modulator-for-motorcycle/
William Dudley @ dudley.nu has designed a motorcycle headlight modulator based on 555 timer IC and photoresistor. A headlight modulator will make the headlight to pulse during the day and be steady at night. He writes: Unhappy with a headlight modulator I purchased, I decided to make my own. Even though it would be a trivial […]
