I have had a look at the Darlington pairs and I think I understand their purpose; I had no idea that I might need to amplify the signals for my circuit to work. This information is definitely really helpful in my project!  I believe the LEDs are wired in parallel but I as I said earlier I am...

Thanks for the reply Technician, I think I understand what you mean! I would really like to have a look at this sketch if possible- it would definitely be helpful in trying to get my head around this. At this point in my research, a lot of what I'm doing is gaining influence so if I could see a...

I see! I will definitely include this in my research and consider using a Schmitt trigger in the making part of my project; however doesn't a transistor essentially do the same thing, just without an upper threshold? And the required voltage for a 5m strip of LEDs is 12V, would this be okay as...

I've had a look at Schmitt Triggers and they seem daunting to say the least! As I said I'm not very inexperienced in more complicated circuitry like this (in comparison to the simple single bulb and resistor circuits I've done), however from what I understand, these Schmitt triggers seem very...

Hello Everyone!  I'm currently doing my DT AS level and am at the beginning of my light project. I have had an idea for outdoor guide lighting which incorporates an LDR which will be used as a light sensor. I envision this lighting system being like the lights on a landing strip except on a...
