Automatic Street Light Controller Circuit Diagram
This circuit is an automatic street light controller. Sensors used to detect changes in light is LDR (Light dependent resistor), the working principle of Light dependent resistor
is exposed to light when the resistance value of LDR great, but if not
exposed to light or dark then the resistance value of LDR.
LDR is a special type of resistance whose value depends on the brightness of the light which is falling on it. It has resistance of about 1 mega ohm when in total darkness, but a resistance of only about 5k ohms when brightness illuminated. It responds to a large part of light spectrum.
When light falls on the LDR then its resistance decreases which results in increase of the voltage at pin 2 of the IC 555. IC 555 has got comparator
inbuilt, which compares between the input voltage from pin2 and 1/3rd
of the power supply voltage. When input falls below 1/3rd then output is
set high otherwise it is set low. Since in brightness, input voltage
rises so we obtain no positive voltage at output of pin 3 to drive relay.

12VDC to 220VAC INVERTER CIRCUIT USING IC 555 SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
12VDC to 220VAC INVERTER CIRCUIT USING IC 555 SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM
The 555 feeds its output (amplified by Q1 and Q2) to the input of transformer T1, a reverse-connected filament transformer with the necessary step-up turns ratio. Capacitor C4 and coil L1 filter the input to T1, assuring that it is effectively a sine wave. Adjust the value of T1 to your voltage. The output ( in watts) is up to you by selecting different components.
Input voltage is anywhere from +5V to +15Volt DC, adjust the 2700uF cap's working voltage accordingly. Replacement types for Q1 are: TIP41B, TIP41C, NTE196, ECG196, etc. Replacement types for Q2 are: TIP42B, TIP42C, NTE197, ECG197, etc.
