Super "Power".........as the sun shines(1)

 A solar circuit is presented here is… a device for collecting sunlight. To keep things simple, we’re using a single nicely made small solar panel for all of these circuits. The panel that we’re using for these circuits can be procured from Dx.com for as low as Rs325/- .

Why  this panel ? 
its a  Polysilicon Solar Panel. 

Easy to connect 

This epoxy coated for toughness. On the back of the panel are two (thin) solderable terminals, with marked polarity. (While you can solder directly to the terminals, be sure to stress-relieve the connections, e.g., with a blob of epoxy over your wires.) .This guy throw a nice little 90 mA,  to 120mA . That is tiny power to be harvested with a super cap . 

Where to Use 'The circuit ' 



 well there are couple of use cases  viz smaller controllers that need 'small power' 


 blinks 



 Example : water level sensor 

 road safety blinker 
 plant water reminders 
 even a battery saver calling bell 
  
We will come with the viable circuit to be used in next post ... 
After GST rates were fixed importing is easy .

A typical experimenter   board can be  easily made with digi spark https://potentiallabs.com/cart/digispark-attiny-85-online-india-hyderabad

circuitbasics :আইচি বোৰৰ পিন কেনেকে উলিয়াবা

Open up a television or a radio and you'll see many parts that it's built around a printed circuit board (PCB): a bit like an electric street-layout with small circuit components (such as resistors and capacitors) in place of the buildings and printed copper connections linking them together like miniature metal streets. Circuit boards are fine in small appliances like this, but if you try to use the same tricks alike to build a complex electronic machine, such as a computer, you quickly hit a snag.  So to get the  best of the small space IC or  integrated circuit Lets learn how to get the pins to follow a circuit diagram  This is 555 EGG timer  it will shut off egg heater after time delay or it will BUZZ  Lets  find the  pins of the IC !  555timer টোৰ পিন দেখাইছো , কাত তোৰে বাওঁপিনে ১নং পিন ... তাৰ পৰা ২,৩,৪... একে দৰে CD4017(runing led IC) টোত পিন দেখিবা link: http://www.electronicecircuits.com/wp-content/uploads/2010...

you said Joule Thief?

you said Joule Thief?  you said Joule Thief?  It’s a little wisp of a circuit that allows you to drive aPOWER  LED from a low voltage. Normally, if you want to light up a blue or white LED you need to provide it with 3 – 3.5 V, like from a 3 V lithium coin cell. But the magic of JT is  a 1.5 V battery like a AA cell simply will work.  Easy make  Joule Thief,  works like a charm. Not only does it work with a brand new battery, but it works until the battery is nearly dead– down to 0.3 V.  That’s well below the point where your other toys will tell you the battery is dead, so it can steal every last joule of energy from the battery (hence the name). how about a cellphone charger , yes it is doable , we are here to give you  a usable tested diagram . get  the ring toroid from a OLD smps of pc !
