Basic LED flasher using NE555 timer IC - This circuit has a lot going for it. For one thing, it only consists of two transistors, two capacitors and four resistors. That also means it consumes very little power. You can control the flash rate by changing the size of the 100k resistors (100k makes for a pretty slow rate). You can also control the duty cycle by using resistors of different values on the two sides __ Designed by Colin Pringle

BEAM Stepper - 74AC240-based circuit to drive small bipolar stepper motors (e. g. , ones in floppy drives) __ Designed by Wilf Rigter
BEAM Stepper drive - The 74AC240 stepper driver works by alternately enabling each half of the buffer. Only one half can be enabled at a time. Let's assume that the top half of the driver is enabled. U1A & U1B along with R8, C1, and the input protection resistor R7 form a square wave oscillator. The outputs of U1A & U1B directly drive one coil of a bipolar stepper motor. __ Designed by Duane Johnson and Wilf Rigter
Beat Tracking Strobe - Strobe lights have always been an integral part of dance parties, adding an additional element of excitement to the festivities on hand. The combination of flashing lights and music-especially those with a definitive strong beat- are a natural complement to one another, where the strobing of light is an extension and links one's aural perception to his visual senses. The applications of strobe lights are numerous. In more involved and comprehensive applications the strobe user would like the strobe to help fuse together the music and light. For our final project we opted to attempt to create such a strobe system appropriate for the more complex application by creating a light strobe system that flashes a light source directly in sync with the music in real time __ Designed by Chris Chan and Kenneth Liu

Bipolar Stepper Motor Control - First, we want to explain how such a controller works and what’s involved. A bipolar motor has two windings, and thus four leads. Each winding can carry a positive current, a negative current or no current. This is indicated in Table 1 by a ‘+’, a ‘–‘ or a blank. A binary counter (IC1) receives
Bipolar Stepper Motor Control - In this circuit, a potentiometer controls both the speed and direction of a small bipolar stepping motor like those found in many 5 1/4" floppy disk drives. Note that the bipolar motors are distinguished from "unipolar" types, in that bipolar units have two coils instead of four, and four wires instead of five. With the potentiometer at the extreme counterclockwise position, the motor runs counterclockwise at the maximum speed. Rotating the potentiometer toward the center slows the motor, until it stops. Continuing potentiometer rotation clockwise, the motor starts to run clockwise, increasing in speed to the maximum clockwise position __ Designed by Arthur Harrison
