Circuits for Hobbyists - a Collection of

Schematics to Build

How do you become better at electronics? By building lots of circuits.

On this page, you'll nd circuit diagrams for a wide range of fun and
interesting electronic circuits:

Transistor circuits. 555 Timer Circuits. LED Circuits. Ampli er circuits. And
many more.

All circuits come with a component list and a connection diagram,

schematic, or build instruction. So you can just start building right away.

If you have any questions about the circuits, just ask in the comment
section of the circuit you're curious about.

Circuit Ideas And Where To Find Them

April 17, 2020 By Øyvind Nydal Dahl — 16 Comments

Circuit ideas are everywhere! There are many places to nd cool circuits.

The greatest sources for my inspiration are hacker/maker/electronics blogs, schematic webpages, hobby project pages,
and open-source hardware companies.

How To Build An Automatic Night-Light

March 13, 2020 By Øyvind Nydal Dahl — 5 Comments

In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to build an automatic night-light that turns on when it gets dark. It’s a simple circuit
that you can build on a breadboard. This circuit shows you how to do it with an LED. But you can use the same
principle to turn on bigger and brighter lights too. […]

Simple VU-Meter Circuit

January 16, 2020 By Øyvind Nydal Dahl — 4 Comments

I put together this Voltage Unit (VU) meter using LEDs on a breadboard the other day. It only has 4 LEDs, but can
easily be expanded to more: It’s basically a simple display for showing a value. It’s originally for showing signal level in
audio circuits, but there’s no reason you can’t use it to […]

Build Instructions: The Blinking Light Circuit

May 24, 2019 By Øyvind Nydal Dahl — 40 Comments

Do you want to build a circuit that blinks a light? This inverter-based circuit is simple, and it’s small enough to t on a
breadboard. The circuit uses standard basic electronic components and you can build it even if you have never built
anything before. Check out the full build instructions in the video below: […]

What is an H-Bridge?
December 5, 2018 By Øyvind Nydal Dahl — 16 Comments

An H-bridge is a simple circuit that lets you control a DC motor to go backward or forward. You normally use it with a
microcontroller, such as an Arduino, to control motors. When you can control two motors to go either forward or
backward – you can build yourself a robot!

How Astable Multivibrator Circuits Work

September 6, 2018 By Øyvind Nydal Dahl — 67 Comments

The astable multivibrator circuit is a classic circuit for ashing two LEDs. It doesn’t have to ash two LEDs though. It
can blink just one LED. Or it can create a tone to play on a speaker. First, let me show you the circuit in action: Want to
know the theory behind how the circuit […]
