MC34063

MC34063 is basically a monolithic control circuit having all the functions required for the construction of DC to DC converters i.e. buck converter, boost converter or inverters etc. It consists of multiple functions, which are: Comparator. Oscillator. High current output switch.

DIY Portable Alarm System

“When I was a kid, there were several political murders in the ex-YU that involved people who had Surveillance Systems that mysteriously stopped recording during the event and resumed without an issue immediately afterward. Weird right? With no evidence …

Experimental Zener Diode Tester

“Automatic Zener diode tester is capable of identifying Zener diodes up to 27.5V. Apart from that, it can be used to recognize leads of the diodes/Zeners and detect damaged diodes. This tester is designed using well-known ICs such …

SCOPETREX vector gaming on your oscilloscope!

“Vector Gaming on Your Oscilloscope! Have you ever wanted to buy a Vectrex, but you can’t afford the high prices on auction sites? Do you already have a hoard of Vectrexes, but want another one? Well now you can …

Yet Another Smallest Regulated Boost SMPS (No SMD)

“Full project name: Yet another world’s smallest regulated boost DC to DC converter switch mode power supply using THT (through hole technology) and no SMD (surface mounted device) OK, ok, You got me. Maybe it is not smaller than …

Modular DIY GeigerMüller counter

“The GeigerMüller counter is a relatively simple tool to measure ionizing radiation. To increase sensitivity, construction presented here contains three (instead of one as usually) soviet STS-5 lamps. This is important for measurements of natural sources of (low) radiation …

Ultrasonic Obstacle-avoiding Robot

“This is my attempt at designing and building an obstacle avoiding robot! RekaBot (named after a fairy (: ) can detect obstacles with an ultrasonic sensor that can move around with help from a servo. Based on the measurements she takes, the …

5V/400V DC/DC converter

“A small and cheap 5V/400V DC/DC converter can be useful in many DIY projects, e.g GeigerMller counters. I will present here one of such DC/DC converter based on popular MC34063 chip in step-up configuration.”

GeigerMuller counter that can work with Arduino or (almost) any evaluation board

“The GeigerMller counter is a relatively simple tool to measure ionizing radiation. To increase sensitivity, construction presented here contains three (instead of one as usually) soviet STS-5 lamps. This is important for measurements of natural sources of (low) radiation …
