Simple Melody Generator Wiring diagram Schematic

This is so impotent schema for you all.On the other hand this is so important schema for beginners.Here I have used IC UM66 You can get various musics when you buy UM66 with different numbers.
Note:
# Dont supply more than 3V
# Build this schema on a pcb

Simple Nicad Battery Charger
This simple charger uses a single transistor as a constant current source. The voltage across the pair of 1N4148 diodes biases the base of the BD140 medium power transistor. The base - emitter voltage of the transistor and the forward voltage drop across the diodes are relatively stable. The charging current is approximately 15mA or 45mA with the switch closed. This suits most 1.5V and 9V rechargeable batteries. The transformer should have a secondary rating of 12V ac at 0.5amp, the primary should be 220/240volts for Europe or 120volts ac for North America.

WARNING: Take care with this schema. Use a voltmeter to observe correct polarity. Nicads can explode if short schemaed or connected with the wrong polarity.
7 segment rolling display using PC
It is very interesting and convenient to be able to control everything while sitting at your PC terminal. Here, a simple hardware schema and software is used to interface a 7-segment based rolling display. The printer port of a PC provides a set of points with some acting as input lines and some others as output lines.
Some lines are open collector type which can be used as input lines. The schema given here can be used for interfacing with any type of PC’s printer port. The 25-pin parallel port connector at the back of a PC is a combination of three ports. The address varies from 378H-37AH. The 7 lines of port 378H (pins 2 through 8) are used in this schema to output the code for segment display through IC1. The remaining one line of port 378H (pin 9) and four lines of port 37AH (pins 1, 14, 16, 17) are used to enable the display digits (one a time) through IC2. The bits D0, D1 and D3 of port 37AH connected to pins 1, 14 and 17 of ‘D’ connector are inverted by the computer before application to the pins while data bit D2 is not inverted. Therefore to get a logic high at any of former three pins, we must send logic 0 output to the corresponding pin of port 37AH. Another important concept illustrated by the project is the time division multiplexing. Note that all the five 7-segment displays share a common data bus. The PC places the 7-segment code for the first digit/character on the data bus and enables only the first 7-segment display. After delay of a few milliseconds, the 7-segment code for the digit/character is replaced by that of the next charter/digit, but this time only second display digit is enabled. After the display of all characters/digits in this way, the cycle repeats itself over and over again. Because of this repetition at a fairly high rate, there is an illusion that all the digits/characters are continuously being displayed. DISP1 is to be physically placed as the least significant digit. IC1 (74LS244) is an octal buffer which is primarily used to increase the driving capability. It has two groups of four buffers with non-inverted tri-state outputs. The buffer is controlled by two active low enable lines. IC2 (75492) can drive a maximum of six 7-segment displays. (For driving up to seven common-cathode displays one may use ULN2003 described elsewhere in this section.) The program for rolling display is given in the listing DISP.C above. Whatever the message/characters to be displayed (here five characters have been displayed), these are separated and stored in an array. Then these are decoded. Decoding software is very simple. Just replace the desired character with the binary equivalent of the display code. The display code is a byte that has the appropriate bits turned on. For example, to display character ‘L’, the segments to be turned on are f, e and d. This is equivalent to 111000 binary or 38 hex. Please note that only limited characters can be formed using 7-segment display. Characters such as M, N and K cannot be formed properly

Frequency Meter for AC line Wiring diagram Schematic
Frequency Meter for AC line Circuit Diagram
Here a schema meter AC line frequency super simple and easy construction that can measure the frequency of 10Hz to 100Hz at a voltage of 110 V to 240 V.
This schema converts the sine wave output of the square wave 100k watt resistor and zener diode 1 watt 6.8V which may be a 1N3829A.
The medium is directly proportional to frequency, so it can be read in a 100mA ammeter (M1).
To calibrate the use of 60Hz known home network, set the pot VR1 to read 60mA.
Basic Low Pass Filter

Sometimes called-high-cut filter, or treble cut filter when used in audio applications. Low-low pass filter is the opposite of the band-pass filter.
