LDST Project Report

This document describes a quiz circuit that can be used for up to 3 contestants. Each contestant has a trigger switch and LED. Pressing a trigger switch lights the corresponding LED, sounds a buzzer, and prevents the other switches from being pressed, showing which contestant answered first. A reset switch operated by the quizmaster turns off the LEDs and buzzer to prepare for the next question. The circuit uses four 555 timer chips, resistors, capacitors, diodes, an LED for each contestant, a buzzer, battery, and push buttons.

PRELUDE:This project can be used for a quiz with up to 3 contestants (or teams).

Each contestant has a trigger push-switch and LED. When a trigger switch is pressed it lights the corresponding LED, sounds the bleeper and prevents the other trigger switches from working therefore showing which contestant was the first to press their switch. A reset push switch (operated by the quizmaster) cancels the bleeper and switches off the LED so the circuit is ready for the next question.

COMPONENTS REQUIRED: Resistors: 470 x3, 1k x2, 10k x6 Capacitors: 0.1F x3, 1F radial Diodes: 1N4148 x3 A 9V Battery Battery clip for 9V PP3 Bleeper suitable for 3 to 6V 555 timer ICs (NE555) x3 Push switches x4 LEDs: red, green, blue, all 5mm Breadboard (to implement the circuit)

WORKING:The circuit consists of four 555 timer bistables which are triggered or reset when their inputs are low. Their reset inputs are connected together and operated by a single reset push switch. The trigger switches are connected to the bistable trigger (pin2) through a 0.1 F capacitor so that only the initial press triggers the bistable; continuing to hold the switch closed will have no effect. When triggered the bistable output (pin3) lights an LED and makes the trigger line high this prevents any other bistable being triggered and sounds the bleeper. A diode is used to link the output to the trigger line.
