Circuits from the Shorts

The most watched ones: the parts, the wiring and how they work. Every other circuit is on the Circuits page.

  • A 12 V supply, a timer relay module, a solenoid valve on a brass tap filling a 20 litre bottle, and a proximity sensor beside the bottle

    Automatic water filling system

    wirecora.com/water

    Put a bottle under the tap: the sensor sees it, the timer relay closes, the solenoid valve opens and water runs. After the set time the relay lets go, the valve closes and the water stops.

    Parts and how it works
  • An Arduino Uno, a GY-521 MPU6050 board on a handlebar, a 470 ohm resistor and a WS2812B LED strip with the left half lit amber

    Smart bike indicators

    wirecora.com/bike

    Lean the bike to the left and the left half of the LED strip sweeps amber from the middle outwards. Lean right and the right half does. Straighten up and the strip goes dark.

    Parts and how it works
  • An infrared sensor, a relay module and a 12 volt solenoid valve, wired

    Touchless tap

    wirecora.com/tap

    Hand near the sensor: the relay clicks and the valve opens. Hands away, water stops.
