Powerbank stand-by mode disabler. Many powerbanks will enter in stand-by mode when load current drops bellow a threshold level ranging from microamps up to about 50mA. Others will start hiccup its output voltage. A simple circuit with 2 transistors will prevent stand-by mode at the expense of only a few microamps.
Reaction time measuring. By pressing COUNTING tact switch a new test is started. The middle tact switch should be pressed as soon as GO red led turns on; waiting time is variable and cannot be predicted; digital voltmeter displays reaction time. (1mS per mV). Pressing RESET tact switch erases current reading for new test; supply +5V_USB
Simple potentiometer tester with 3 transistors: 2 leds OFF: ok / 2 leds ON: defective wiper / 1 led ON: defective resistence element / Suitable for any resistance value; also tests sliding noise; supply 2xR03
Mains supplied roof light is turned-on only by fast switching action on the wall switch. As there is no need for extra stand-by power, the module can be integrated in a E27 lamp holder adapter unit.
Ultrasonic detector using standard electret condenser microphone. Conversion to audible range is achieved by frequency mixing with local oscillator, supply 3V
