Light Activated Motor Controller using IC 555
₹280.00
In StockA Light Activated Motor Controller using IC 555 is a simple electronic circuit that turns a motor ON or OFF based on the presence or absence of light. It uses a LDR (Light Dependent Resistor) as a light sensor and the 555 timer IC in a comparator mode, along with an LED to indicate the motor’s status.
Description
This project demonstrates how to control a DC motor automatically using light. It uses the 555 timer IC configured in monostable or comparator mode to detect changes in light intensity through an LDR (Light Dependent Resistor). When light falls on the LDR (or is removed, depending on the configuration), the circuit switches the motor ON or OFF. An LED indicator is used to show the motor’s operational state (ON/OFF).
This type of circuit is useful in automatic solar trackers, light-following robots, daylight-based ventilation systems, or smart irrigation where motors or fans need to be controlled based on ambient light.
Applications:
1.Solar-powered Systems
1.Turn on fans or pumps during daylight.
2.Light-following Robots
1.Control wheels or actuators based on light direction.
3.Automatic Window Ventilation
1.Open/close windows using motors when sunlight is detected.
4.Smart Irrigation
1.Start motors for water pumps when sunlight is available.
5.Educational Projects
1.Demonstrates sensor-based automation using the 555 timer.

A Touch ON/OFF Switch is an electronic circuit that allows a device to be turned on or off by simply touching a sensor pad or wire, instead of using a mechanical switch. It works by detecting a small electrical signal from the human body (capacitive or resistive touch) and using that to toggle the output state.
These switches are commonly used in modern electronics, home automation, and DIY projects due to their durability, aesthetic appeal, and user-friendly operation.

A solar-based LED system is a lighting setup that uses solar energy to power LED (Light Emitting Diode) lights. During the day, a solar panel captures sunlight and converts it into electrical energy, which is stored in a battery. At night or in low-light conditions, this stored energy powers the LED light.
These systems are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and ideal for off-grid or outdoor applications like street lighting, garden lights, and emergency lighting.

A Security Alarm Circuit using the LM358 IC is a simple yet effective system designed to trigger an alarm when unauthorized access or movement is detected. The LM358, a dual operational amplifier (Op-Amp), is used as a comparator to detect voltage changes from sensors like LDRs, IR sensors, or switches, and then activate a buzzer or relay.

A Battery High-Low Monitor is an electronic circuit or device that detects and indicates the voltage level of a battery — whether it’s too high (overcharged), normal, or too low (discharged). It helps protect batteries from overcharging or deep discharge, which can damage the battery or reduce its lifespan.
These monitors often use comparators, voltage dividers, LED indicators, or microcontrollers to track and display battery status in real time.
