This circuit uses an LM2917 frequency to voltage converter. The input was connected to the low voltage side of the ignition coil, and the various components around it design to produce a full scale output at 6000rpm, which corresponds to 12000 ignition.... -
A fairly simple "divide-by-1000" circuit which was first designed by Zeljko Bozic, S52ZB, in a 2006 issue of VHF Communications Magazine. The idea of this project is to extend the range of older (and cheaper) frequency counters. You can often find 100 MHz.... -
This PIC software combines frequency counter and frequency lock functions. By adding couple of transistors and operation amplifier TL082, it is possible to lock the LC oscillator frequency. Frequency reference is formed from the measured frequency itself.... -
There are other display methods than the original 8 led frequency counter has. They are perhaps easier to read and may have a format that fits better to the front of your QRP equipment. Here some examples of binary decimal displays are given. Mostly the the.... -
Apply power to the frequency counter and set the coarse (top pot) and fine (bottom pot) adjustments to show zero frequency on the display. Turn the pots counter-clockwise to set to zero. Sometimes the counter will show all squares and no digits. Disconnect.... -
Feature of an offered frequency meter that he besides the main function allows to define inductance of various coils, resonant frequency of contours, capacity of condensers. The combined device which schematic diagram is shown on fig. 1 becomes the good.... -
It consists only from Microchip PIC 16F84 cpu and LCD text module. Author states that this counter is capable metering frequencies from 400Hz to 50MHz. I used faster, 20MHz version of 16F84A-20I/P, and it managed to count 80MHz oscillator output... -
7208 seven metric system counter is used for frequency meter, it has latch and multiplexing function, and contains direct drive circuit and display driver circuit. 7207IC is divided the output frequencyof6. 5536 MHz crystal oscillator by2 12which produces.... -
The circuit shown is a simple digital frequency meter, which indicates the frequency in hertz of an astable 555 timer. It could, perhaps, be adapted for other uses. An NPN transistor, TR2, is connected to the 555 astable to be measured, as shown in the.... -
This 1-kHz linear-scale analog frequency meter circuit uses the 555 as a pulse counter. Frequency is read on M1, (or 1 mA meter) which can be calibrated to read 0 to 1 kHz.... -
The circuit can measure the frequency between 1. 5kHz ~ 500kHz by connecting C1 ~ C6 different capacitors. The maximum frequency is up to 1MHz. Transistor T1 can be used as the integrator, and its load resistor is 15k © resistor and R1 ~~ R6 adjustable.... -
The 7208 seven-stage decimal counter can be used as the frequency counter, it has the latch and multiplexing functions, and it has the direct digital driving circuit and the display driving circuit. 7207IC 6.5536MHZ crystal oscillator`s output frequency is.... -
This circuit shows an ICM7217 and an ICM7555 that are connected as a basic frequency counter. The connections between the ICM7217 and a common-cathode LED display are shown in Fig. 12-18. The frequency counter is calibrated (against a known standard) using.... -
This is a simple temperature measurement probe circuit. This circuit measures temperature either on a PC board or at the probe tip to which contains the.... -
A signal conditioner for pH meter probe is required to have high input impedance. The signal conditioning of the pH meter probe is done by providing a buffer.... -
In counter mode it provides 1Hz resolution up to 100Mhz. In timer mode maximum resolution is 0. 0000001 Hz up to 1Hz. Resolution is reduced by one digit for each additional decade. Multiple frequency updates per second by employing a sliding window for....

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.....
