Using the ADC on an ATtiny24 to record a AC signal. The ADC has a range from 0-3. 3V. I`m using a precision rectifier to get rid of the negative portion of the signal. I`ve attached a picture of the circuit I`m using for the rectifier. I`m using an LMC6484 as the op-amp with 3. 3V to the V+ rail and 0 to the V- rail. I`m using 1N4004`s as the di

odes and 10k for the resistors. My logger is able to graph the waveform of the rectifier very well. BUT the oscope shows that the output of the rectifier varies from -0. 5 to 1V. But my micro shows a signal with the same waveform that goes from 0-1. 5V! If I replace the precision rectifier with a simple diode/resistor combination, I get a waveform that varies from -0. X volts to Y volts (depending on the input through the function generator). The micro follows the shape of the waveform correctly but the voltage range is from 0. X to Y volts. I always have a little bit of a negative signal even with the precision rectifier and when I graph the results through my logger, it appears that the largest negative value has been moved up to zero, so I seem to get a larger range than the input. I`ve input positive voltages into the logger through a power supply, and it reads those voltages perfectly! It follows the shape of the waveforms very well too. The only problem seems to be the range. I`m completely lost.
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.....
