Circuit Diagram & Finished Project
Complete the circuit as shown in the circuit diagram.
Technical Details :
This circuit can work with 1.5 volt to 9 volt input.
Note 1: when connected to a 1.5 Volt source only the buzzer will work. The reason for LED not to work is the forward voltage of an Red Led will be 1.8 Volts which is greater then our input voltage. For both the indication to work you need to at least 2.5 to 3 volt input.
Optional : If you don't both the indication then you can remove any one. For example if you need only the Buzzer indication replace the LED with buzzer. (+ve of the Buzzer to the one terminal of 330 ohm resistor & -ve goes to the common of BC107)
Note 2 : If you don't have BC107 you can replace with 2N3904 or BC550
Final Image Details : The circuit to perform you need 4 inputs
1. Probe A
2. Probe B
3. Vin
4. GND
In the finished images you can see i marked the terminal as 1, 2, 3
1 is for Probe A, 2 is for Probe B & Vin & 3 is for GND. Note - (This depends on how you make your circuit). For making the circuit as i did please watch the video which is posted along with tutorial in the first page.
