12 LED VU Meter Circuit
Here the 12 LED VU meter circuit. This is a simple visual indication of the audio level signals, adaptive to various user needs. Can be adapted to different input levels, adjustable by trimmer TR1 (state) - TR2 (Gain), then rectified by diodes D1-D2 (standard negative mark-recovery periods) and driven in the main circuit indication, consisting of the diodes D3 up to D13, transistors Q2-Q13 and materials that exist around them.
The visual indicator is taken from the series of diodes LED LD1-13. Each Led illuminates when the level changed during about 0,65 V. The power requirements are 100 ma full term. We can add as many steps we want LED, always assuming the power where you need the new LED.

FanTemperature Controller circuit
This FanTemperature Controller circuit design technique to adopt a more ancient as its objective is to vary the fan speed in relation to temperature with a fraction of counting and avoid using special-purpose integrated circuits, often difficult to obtain.
R3-R1-R4 and P1 are connected as a Wheatstone bridge in which R3-R4 generates a fixed two-thirds of the supply of "reference" voltage, P1-R1 generates a temperature-sensitive "variable" power and Q1 is used as a balanced bridge detector.
P1 is adjusted so that the "reference" stress "variable" is equal to a temperature just below the critical value necessary, and under the base of Q1 and the condition of the issuer are located in the same tensions and Q1 cut. When the temperature rises above this R1 "balance" the value of P1-R1 voltage falls below the "reference" value, so that Q1 is polarized, pulse charging C1.
This is because the circuit is supplied by a 100 Hz half-wave voltage from the mains supply by means of the D3-D6 diode bridge without filter capacitors and fixed to 18V by Zener diode D1 and R9. Therefore the supply of 18 volt DC circuit is not true, but it has a trapezoidal shape instead. C1 provides a variable lag phase pulse train related to temperature and synchronized with the mains "zero voltage" point of each half cycle, resulting in minimal change RFI SCR. Q2 and Q3 form a firing device, which generates a short pulse suitable for driving the SCR.

87-108MHz FM Wireless Microphone

This FM wireless microphone is easy to build and has a useful range of transmission (over 300 meters outdoors). Despite its small number of components and an operating voltage of 3V to easily penetrate over three floors of an apartment building. You can tune anywhere on the FM band (87-108MHz) and its transmissions can be picked up at any point of view of the FM receiver.
The coil (L1) should be approximately 3 mm in diameter, 5 turns 0.61 mm copper wire. You can vary the Tx frequency by simply adjusting the distance between the coils. The antenna should be a half wavelength or quarter-time (100 MHz, 150 cm or 75 cm).
Parts list:

2-Way Active Crossover Circuit
This is the schematic diagram of 2-way active crossover circuit. The "active" word means that the circuit use active component and need power supply to work. Take a note that the input of this circuit is not connected to the output of power amplifier. This crossover circuit module must be placed before the amplifier circuit.

7 Segment Display Counter based 74LS90
Here is a 7 segment counter circuit based on IC 74LS90 TTL.This can be used in conjunction with several circuits where a counter to show the progress adds a little more attractive. This circuit accepts any TTL compatible logic signal, and can be extended easily.Notes:
- All pulses to be counted are to be TTL compatible. They should not exeed 5V and not fall below ground.
- You can add more digits by building a second (or third, or fourth, etc...) circuit and connecting the pin 11-6 junction of the 74LS90 and 74LS47 to pin 14 of the 74LS90 in the other circuit. You can keep expanding this way to as many digits as you want.
Stereo Tone Control using LM1036

This a stereo tone control circuit built using LM1036 IC. This control circuit bass / treble tone level, volume and balance between the right channel and left channel (Input 1 and 2). You can use this circuit for stereo applications such as car radio, television and audio systems, MP3 player, DVD player, ipod and more. An additional control input allows loudness compensation to be made simply. The circuit must be working with a supply voltage of 9V to 15V DC.
Each tone response is defined by a single capacitor chosen to give the desired characteristic. By changing the values of capacitors connected to the tone control unit, you can control bass and treble levels. pin 3 and pin 18 of IC are for acute and pin 6 to pin 15 for bass.

Home Telephone FM Transmitter Circuit
Here the schematic diagram of home telephone FM transmitter. This circuit connects in series with your home phone line and delivers the phone conversation through the FM band any time you pick up the telephone handset. Transmitted signal could be tuned by any FM receiver. The circuit features an "On Air" LED indicator and also gives you a switch that can be utilized to turn off the transmitter. A special characteristic of the circuit is the fact that no battery is required to operate the circuit because electrical power is taken from your phone line.
The transmitter circuit works by using only a short piece of wire aerial about 4" / 10 cm long to transmit the signal and a portion of the RF signal can also be radiated via the phone line itself. The circuit may possibly be implemented to share or record conversations, but will not be meant for illegal use.
