delabs circuits has been made Responsive. Tablet Computers, Laptops, Netbooks, Notebooks and Desktops will render most of delabs and dapj blogs/sites correctly. Other Devices like Smartphone and SmartTV are partially supported.

All blogs and sites of delabs are now SSL it looks like https://. That means more Security and Privacy. We have also removed most of third party scripts and social media links for the same reason.

These will be no New Year Card for 2021. Please Reuse the one below.  Wish all of you a Safe and Sensible 2021. Give importance to Nature, Environment, The Flora and Fauna. 

Protect and Preserve, Renovate, Revive and Resurrect Hills, Mountains, Lakes, Ponds, Rivers and Streams. If these deteriorate then the end of Mankind is certain.

Happy New Twenty Fifteen

Welcome an Era of new ways of Embedded Systems in Device Communication and Interface.

Below is a Electrical Control Panel, It has a Strip Chart Recorder which is electro-mechanical, It has a PLC Inside. A handheld PLC Programming unit. The computer is showing the Ladder Logic Program. PLC is based on a embedded uC. The DIN Controllers are Analog + Digital circuits.

Process Control Application Notes

So you see it is a Electrical Control Panel with Electronics and the PLC Ladder Logic means, Software too.

Some old examples of open custom designs. these were made to educate the customer and also study the capability  of online communication and and collaboration tools for such activity.

Two Stage Sequential Timer Docs - 

The circuit is a two stage sequential timer with auto reset. It can turn a Solenoid On/Off after a Sequence of delays that are preset. This is also a basic example of timer usage in automation.

The Incredible 555 : Here are some 555 circuits, The most versatile and simple chip of all time !

Some of my 555 Circuits are at my blog - 555-Circuits - delabs Schematics

The best part of the 555 is that it has an voltage detection. It has a Versatile Logic which is defined by voltage comparators. The ability to loop it like an opamp for feedback makes it the first "Programmable" Mixed Chip. In short it make an ideal building block.

555 The most Incredible Chip - At my Learning-Teaching Blog Solderman Basics.

Signetics made the 555, This is one IC that is like a E-LEGO, this along with Op-Amps and other components can make many interesting projects. On some pins like Control Voltage it responds to analog signals and on Reset and Output the signals are Digital like. The 7555 a CMOS version consumes lower power and oscillates at higher frequencies.

555 Timer Circuits at delabs

I am now Organizing and Updating my main product design sections. Many Useful Websites and Nice Firms have gone over the last few years. I had to update to remove many broken links and improve navigation. These parts of my websites partially represents my Test-Measurement and Instrumentation firm i ran for some years. It also contains many of my designs and circuit innovations from my early days.

2020 -  The HTML pages are now Responsive from Computer Tablets, Notebooks to Large Monitors. All sites are SSL means https: Private and Secure.

delabs PDF Circuits

In 1999 most of my circuits in Image and PDF Formats were uploaded as zip files in free websites of Netscape and Tripod. Then i got suggestions, Feedback and Thank you letters from all round the world. Later some support, encouragement from enthusiasts and engineers in the US and Europe made me improve the Websites "CMS" and content organization. I am now updating my Plain old HTML Pages for the 4th time in 18 Years. (2018)
