Circuits Designed by Dave Johnson, P.E. :
  • Check Engine Beeper
    When wired into a car’s indicator light panel, this circuit will turn on a loud beeper when the “check engine” light turns on. (added 7/06)
  • Fake Car Alarm Light
    Whenever the car’s ignition is turned off, this circuit activates a flashing LED, which can be positioned to appear as an active alarm system.  (added 7/06)
