How to make an electronic ding dong doorbell

Last Updated on September 5, 2020 by technoreview85

In this article, I am going to describe, how you can make a dual-tone electronic doorbell.

For making this project I have used very popular timer IC 555.

When you press the button then the IC generates a tone & after release, the button The IC generates a different tone so it’s sound like a ding dong bell.

You need to make

Small speaker
Capacitor 10 mfd /25v
Capacitor 100 mfd/25v
47K resistor – 4 pcs
Diode IN 4148 2 pcs
Ceramic capacitor 0.01uf – 2 pcs
Ceramic capacitor 0.001uf
Microswitch
terminal block – 2 pcs
IC 555
8 pin IC base
4 X AA batteries & battery holder Or any DC 6v power source
Wire
PCB ( from pcbway.com )

How to get PCB for this project

I have designed a circuit & make it in a PCB. You can download the PCB Gerber file from here. Then upload the Gerber file to pcbway.com

Here are details about how to place an order in PCBWAYPcbway makes PCB quickly ( Build time 24 hours for 2 layer PCB) so you will get it soon depending on your Courier selection.

Assembling of components

The assembling of components is very easy. All components value, polarity is printed in the PCB so just follow the printed components on the PCB. Use two terminal blocks for speaker connection & power.

About the circuit

When the switch is pressed the circuit is working as an Astable Multivribator and its output changes cautiously between high & low states. The output in an Astable Multivibrator oscillates between two states at a constant rate. As a result, a square wave signal is given at its output. So we can hear a tone in speaker.
