Rectifier bridge voltage. See U2 element you used data sheet to know about maximum voltage it can work properly. On the other hand the minimum voltage on that pin mustn`t drop bellow c. a. 9V, or 6. 5V if low drop type U2 and U3 voltage regulators were used. Multimeter is suitable for voltage and current measurement in PSU, where current sense shunt

resistor is connected in series with load and is in negative rail. Because µC is in TQFP package, we can program it after soldering all the elements on PCB. It makes programming quite easy to perform. Programming signals are delivered through LCD connector. To make the programming cable, you can use old PC HDD cable. Picture of my programming cable is shown below. Remember, that during programming multimetr circuit must be supplied with +5V. Depending on your programmer, supply voltage is provided either by programmer, or from separate power supply unit. After connecting µC to prog, you should check, if µC is "visible" for prog. When everything is fine, you can upload code to µC. The code is available here. It is assumed here, that µC is new and works with its internal RC clock at 1MHz. If not, set appropriate fusebits to archive above mentioned conditions. In addition Brown-out detector should be turned on by enabling BODEN fuse. Recommended Brown-out Reset Threshold Voltage is 4V. The next thing to do is to cross LCD soldering pads number 1 and 5. It is necessary to provide ground for LCD RW signal. After all, connect LCD module with the multi meter PCB. It is recommended to use a detachable connector for further expandability e. g. software upgrading. Picture of PCB is here. There are two version of PCB - normal and mirrored. I think, that anyone who makes PCBs will know, which one should be used to produce right PCB. *...
This project fits more for custom made battery casing that can have more space to hide things inside. This switch with few alterations can be used for any other project as well but is designed based on e-bike needs! This project use a clever functionality of....
The circuit described here uses ultrasonic oscillations and operates based on the propagation velocity of these oscillations in the air. Thus, we can easily determine the distance of two points if the time within which the wave travels this distance is....
Sometimes the precious metals are hidden too deep and are not detected except with complicated devices. In many cases, however, small pieces of precious metal buried near the surface can be detected by relatively simple means. Everyone is very attractive to....
Many times for various reasons we forget or can not water the plants that we have in our homes. And many humidity sensors units just notify us with a beeping sound or with a flashing light, that the pot needs watering. But what if we are away from home? This....
The principle behind a metal detector is really very simple. Proof of this is the circuit that follows, in which it proves that the construction of a metal detector can be done in the minute, with few components that we find very easily everywhere. With the....
The sub-harmonic bass generator is a sound producing unit for guitars. The sound it produces looks very much like that of the bass guitar. The octave generator is sometimes quite unusual since it does not produce any of the usual ways of coloring the sound,....
In the past the sounding (sea bottom measurement) was done with the "bullet", that is, with a heavy lead object that the seamen plucked into the sea hung from a calibrated rope. As soon as the "bullet" reached the bottom, the depth appeared directly from the....
This Amplifier was designed to have the following specifications: Distortion less than 0.1% at full power of 100W even at 20KHz. Power has to be attributed to an extended bandwidth. The output transistors must be protected against short circuits. The power....
A series of LEDs serve to alert the gardener when plants need water. Using two conventional digital integrated LEDs and a series of LEDs, we make a very useful device for gardening. The device detects the amount of water in the pot and alerts the grower.....
