12 Volt Automotive Inverter : This circuit will allow you to operate small devices like laptop computers inside your automobile without an expensive automobile power supply. The circuit takes advantage of the fact that power transformers are linear devices and can be used to step up as well as step down. |
12 Volt to 9 Volt DC Converter: Car Converter for12 Volt to 9V |
20 Watt Power Amplifier: Designed to be used as car amplifier |
Automotive link uses single wire: 04/03/03 EDN-Design Ideas / In the automotive industry, in which the goal is to produce cars with simpler, lighter wiring looms, any interface that uses just one wire instead of two offers a distinct advantage. The circuit in Figure 1 implements a bidirectional link using a single wire, with the car's chassis or ground conductor providing a negative return path... |

Breath Alcohol Tester: Controls the cars ignition system |
Car Battery Charger: quickly and easily charge most any lead acid battery, automatically turns charging off when ready |
Car Clock: CaClo was designed and built to be used in an automobile. It uses pure discrete logic ICs (4000 series) and a4-digit LCD display with backlight, plus a few SMD ICs for the LCD driver. |
Car Interval Wiper: CaWip was designed and built to be used in an automobile. Both the front and rear wipers can be controlled separately using six interval settings. Its a fairly old design, thats why theres no PIC microcontroller in sight! |
Car Message Display: CaMeD was designed and built to be used in an automobile. Its purpose is to display various symbols/messages to the car driver traveling behind you. It uses1024 LEDs to form a32 x32 matrix display. A total of12 symbols/messages can be displayed,4 of them being user-definable by using a visual basic utility tool connected to the rs232 port of a PC. |
Car NiCd Charger: This circuit provides up to20-Volt output from a regular13.2V automotive battery, to enable constant current charging of NiCd battery packs up to15 cells @1.2V (18V total). |
Dome Light Dimmer for Cars : Usually when the car door is closed, the dome light just goes OFF. With this circuit, you can have our dome light fade slowly in brightness and finally go OFF. |
Dome Light Dimmer using Mic4680 Switching Regulator: simple circuit which outputs +5-Volt |
Dome Light Dwell Extender / Dimmer : allows you to dim your dome light and keeps the dome light of your automobile on after you close the door |
Flashing High Intensity LED 3rd Brake Light: This circuit to make a flashing3rd brake light assembly was designed to be easy to locate all the needed components and reasonably in expensive to build. |

LED Headlamps : This article includes circuits of DC-DC LED drivers (click PICs for bigger ones) step downs to run LEDs on less than Battery Volts, Boost for above. |
Oxygen Sensors: When they go bad your automobile runs poorly, learn about them and build a substitute for diagnostics or off-road use. |
Park Aid: 3-LEDs signal bumper-barrier distance Infrared operation, indoor use |
Safety Indicator Lights: SILs was designed and built for a colleague at work. He needed a device to control the indicator lights on his motorcycle. The idea was to turn all lamps on during driving, but switch over to normal operation when the indicator was needed. He wanted this device because his motorcycle was fairly broad and was worried that passing cars wouldnt notice, especially in the dark! |
