Electric Fence with Automated Monitoring System

Electric Fences are designed to create an electrical circuit when touched by person (or animal). The circuits proposed in this article release 10kV electrical pulses to the fence-line and monitor the line status. This entire system is design to drive using 25V (5A) single-rail DC power source (using 5A power supply unit or pair of 12.6V Lead-Acid batteries).


Main controller of this system is Microchip PIC12F675 – 8bit microcontroller. All the line monitoring, pulse generation and alarm system controlling is performed by this microcontroller.

Some of the most notable features of this system are built-in audible alarm system, contactless fence line monitoring system, Support for wide range of step-up transformers (up to maximum of 10kV) and compact 10cm × 10cm PCB design.

This system use standard electronic components (through-hole components) and SMD components in this provided PCB layout. All the project documents, schematics, PCB designs and firmware source codes are available to download at google drive.

Electric fences are very effective, I got one to protect my farm off the vegetables robbers and animals who like to wander around, but it is extremely important to be precise on the charge of it, cause otherwise, it could end up in a very awful incident. (Experience talking here by the way)

Building the TD4 4-Bit CPU

The TD4 is a famous 4-bit CPU featured in the book How to Build a CPU by Kaoru Tonami . The book focuses on constructing a functional processor entirely from basic 74-series TTL logic ICs. While the book is unfortunately only available in Japanese, a friend from Japan sent me a copy along with a TD4 PCB. I believe the PCB is based on the open-source design files available on BG5DIW's GitHub repository . "How to Build CPU" book and the PCB. Recently, I finally found the time to build and experiment with it. The project took a few months, as I had to translate the book myself to grasp the core concepts. The overall design is simple and elegant, offering a set of 12 instructions and a 16-byte ROM (implemented via DIP switches) for programming. The board operates on 5V and can be powered via USB. Most components were sourced from local shops, though I had to order a few 74HC-series ICs online. Later, I tested the circuit by replacing some 74HC components with 74LS series...

CD2003 - yet another simple FM radio receiver

In the last few days, we are looking for some simple FM radio receiver to integrate into one of our ongoing projects. For that, we try several FM radio receiver ICs including TDA7000, CD2003/TA2003/TA8164, CXA1019, and KA22429. Out of all those chips we select CD2003 (or TA2003/TA8164) based receiver for our project because of its simplicity and outstanding performance. Except to CD2003, Sony CXA1019 also perform well but we drop it because of its higher component count. We design our receiver based on Toshiba TA2003 datasheet and later we try TA8164 and CD2003 with the same circuit. Either CD2003 or TA8164 can directly replace TA2003 IC, and as per our observations, TA8164 gives excellent results out of those 3 chips. A prototype version of CD2003 FM radio receiver The PCB design and schematic which we used in our prototype project are available to download at google drive (including pin-outs of crystal filters and inductors ). Except for CD2003 IC, this receiver consist...

Arduino superheterodyne receiver

In this project, we extend the shortwave superheterodyne receiver we developed a few years ago . Like the previous design, this receiver operates on the traditional superheterodyne principle.  In this upgrade, we enhanced the local oscillator with Si5351 clock generator module and Arduino control circuit. Compared to the old design, this new receiver uses an improved version of an intermediate frequency amplifier with 3 I.F transformers. In this new design, we divide this receiver into several blocks, which include, mixer with a detector, a local oscillator, and an I.F amplifier. The I.F amplifier builds into one PCB. The filter stage, mixer, and detector stages place in another PCB. Prototype version of 455kHz I.F amplifier. In this prototype build, the Si5351 clock generator drives using an Arduino Uno board. With the given sketch, the user can tune and switch the shortwave meter bands using a rotary encoder. The supplied sketch support clock generation from 5205kHz (tuner f...
