Quiz - This project can be used for a quiz with up to 4 contestants (or teams). Each contestant has a trigger push-switch and LED. When a trigger switch is pressed it lights the corresponding LED, sounds the bleeper and prevents the other trigger switches from working - therefore showing which contestant was the first to press their switch __ Designed by John Hewes
Radio Clock for PC's - The heart of the device is a EM2S receiver module and matching antenna. The two are matched, so a mixing a 60kHz receiver board suitable for the MSF and WWVB signals with a 77.5kHz antenna and vice versa will not work. it should be noted that the receiver boards know nothing about the format of time signal itself so a 60kHz pair suitable for receiving the MSF signal will also receive the WWVB signal __ Designed by Jonathan A.

RC-Timed Shutoff Function Uses Op Amp & Momentary Switch - 02/16/12 EDN Design Ideas: Battery-operated instrument benefited from auto-power shutdown. A handheld, battery-operated “fiber finder” measures the light escaping from an optical fiber when clamped in a V-shaped block under slight pressure. A pair of photodiodes on each side of the resulting bend compares analog levels to indicate the presence and direction of light travel, and PLL tone decoders indicate the presence of as many as three optical-modulation tones. The idea is to “tag” a fiber with a central-office signal Design by Glen Chenier, Teeter Totter Tree Stuff, Allen, TX

Relay clock - Even if relay logic is now an old technology, I haven’t abandoned it. This clock circuit works for a sequence of 4 relays only, but the schematic is repetitive, so it may be extended. The relays K and K1 work in astable condition and are supposed to send the clock signal to the others. Once the circuit is supplied the cycle has to be triggered by pressing the button, then it continues without stopping __ Designed by Andrea-Central Italy
Relay Delay - This circuit waits for a set time and then activates a relay. With the cap that is in the schematic you will get about a 6 sec delay till power on. You can change the cap in this circuit to 470uF for about a 20 sec delay__
Relay Toggle Circuit Using a 555 Timer - This 555 timer circuit below toggles a relay when a button is pressed. Pins 2 and 6, the threshold and trigger inputs, are held at 1/2 the supply voltage by the two 10K resistors. When the output is high, the capacitor charges through the 100K resistor, and discharges when the output is low. When the button is pressed, the capacitor voltage is applied to pins 2 and 6 which causes the output to change to the opposite state __ Designed by Bill Bowden
Relay Toggle Circuit Using a 556 Timer - This toggle circuit operates by using a couple 555 timers wired as inverters. Pins 2 and 6 are the threshold and trigger inputs to the first timer and pin 5 is the output. The output at pin 5 will always be the inverse of the input at pins 2 and 6. Likewise, the output at pin 9 of the second timer will always be the inverse of the input at pins 8 and 12. A 100K resistor connects the output of one inverter to the input of the other so the state of one will be the opposite of the other. __ Designed by Bill Bowden
