A voltage to frequency converter with a control range of 1:1000 can be easily constructed by using the IC TSC9402. The given component values in the circuit produces a conversion factor of 1kHz/1V. The input voltages from 10 mV up to 10 V are converted to frequencies 10 Hz up to 10 kHz. This conversion can be changed if desired through the potenti

ometer P1. The circuit has two outputs: a sharp pulse comes out from pin 8 with the main output frequency. A clean squarewave comes out of pin 10 but its frequency is half of the output frequency at pin 8. Calibration: use an accurate frequency counter and adjust P1 so that an input level of 10 mV will produce a signal of 10 Hz at the output. One area of application for this circuit is the telemetry. In this case, telemetry of voltage values. By converting the voltage value to a frequency, the value can be transmitted either via a coaxial cable or radio. Wireless telemetry method using radio, can be realized by using the output of this circuit to modulate the carrier signal of a transmitter. It is not possible to use directly the output frequency of this circuit since it produces only a maximum of 10 kHz (equivalent to a measured voltage of 10 volts at its input). The following diagram shows how to use the circuit for remote measurements using a coaxial cable. The technique is limited to several meters though. The distance can be increased by using a signal amplifier. The diagram on the right shows the circuit modulating a transmitter to transport the measured value via radio signals. This technique allows remote telemetry over very long distances. If the signal is repeated via a satellite transponder, the telemetry can be done worldwide.
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.....
