This might seem like a dumb question, but I`m a total newb in electronics. I built this preamp to amplify the signal from a small speaker that i use.... -
A simple technique for measuring frequencies over quite a wide frequency range and with acceptable accuracy limits using a PC. It follows the basic technique of measuring low frequencies, i. e. at low frequency, period is measured for a complete wave and.... -
We know that every inductor coil has a certain amount of resistance and the coil should have lowest possible resistance. The ratio of the inductive reactance to the effective resistance of the coil is called the quality factor or Q-factor of the coil. A high.... -
This circuit is used to measure the voltage on a 12V (nominal) lead acid rechargeable battery system. It was specifically designed for use in solar powered systems, but is general enough that it can be used for automotive or other 12V systems. Lead acid.... -
This pdf file shows the schematic diagram of my home-built circuit to drive the PDR-56 probe. A JKL BXA-12579 inverter commonly used to drive cold-cathode fluorescent lamps is used as the high-voltage power supply. The BXA-12579 produces 1, 500 VACRMS for a.... -
A couple of few years ago I had build a diode-sensor based RF powermeter using a 68HC11 microprocessor. Even before that I had build an analog RF powermeter with thermal power sensor. And I found datasheets of logarithmic amplifiers very interesting, that.... -
This article describes how to build a simple inductance meter. The PCB layout is included.... -
A meter is a measuring instrument. An ammeter measures current, a voltmeter measures the potential difference (voltage) between two points, and an ohmmeter measures resistance. A multimeter combines these functions, and possibly some additional ones as well,.... -
This very simple high-level design demonstrates the product`s structure. Its integrated circuit responds to button presses and senses temperature via the probe, displaying the temperature on the LCD and sounding the buzzer when finished. This more detailed.... -
An excellent way to provide continuous and direct indication of ESV readings in even a large lecture hall is to combine this instrument with a tonal voltmeter (TVM). The TVM puts out an audible tone of constant amplitude, with the frequency related to the.... -
Most PN-junction diodes can be used as photodiodes. While not optimized for this application, they do work. When the diode is reverse biased, it will produce a small photovoltaic output as the light level is increased. LEDs are particularly suited for this.... -
It is very easy to use and consumes so little current that it will work for the battery`s shelf life. The circuit uses a standard LM35DZ sensor (IC3) whose analogue output voltage is buffered by an LM358 (IC2A). The voltage is read by the microcontroller and.... -

Can someone help me find a schematic and codes about a digital thermometer using a LM35 and 7 segment display(0 - 150.5 degree celcius)..the code must .... -
Hello, I need a simple to make LED based (not 7-segment) voltmeter to monitor the voltage of a variable supply. I have found this circuit.... -
hello , I am planningto build Digital Thermometer using ATmegsa8 and LM335. Can Somebody tell me how should i go about ?? I want to display it on.... -
I have been able to monitor the power usage of the home with the Power Node. One project I have been meaning to tackle is to monitor the water usage as well. The photo below shows my main water meter. I also have a "sub-meter", which measures the water usage.... -
Bipolar junction transistors transfer a current from a lower-resistance emitter to a higher-resistance collector. You can use this property to measure inductance.... -
Using MAX1496 an ADC with LED drivers, you can make your own 3 1/2 digit voltmeter with just a handful of components. It even has external/internal Vref, HOLD and PEAK as well as 200mV, 2V rangs.... -
The input cap for The phototransistor at the bottom is what feeds the opamp. But the output from the phototransistor is always between GND and Vcc. So why the need for an input capacitor It`s most likely there because the photo transistor is not being.... -
Here`s a simple schematic of one of the parts, the idea is that if the probed voltage is below half point, one LED will be on, otherwise second one will be on. Also, now I think I`ll need to oompff the power on this thing, proper dc motor with some gearbox.... -
1N4001 a 1Amp Silicon rectifier with voltage range of 50 to 1000 Volts and possessing features such as guaranteed high temperature soldering, high current capability, diffused junction, low reverse leakage, utilizes void-free molded plastic technique for low.... -
Most multimeters today have an auto turn-off feature built in. There is enough space in a multimeter enclosure so why not to install a simple circuit that.... -
This circuit breaks an input voltage signal down into its components: (1) the absolute value and (2) the polarity or ‘sign (+ or ). It will handle direc.... -
This simple circuit indicates the amount of power that goes to a loudspeaker. The dual-color LED shows green at an applied power level of about 1 watt. At 1. 5 watts it glows orange and above 3 watts it is bright red. The circuit is connected in parallel.... -
This circuit uses two quad op-amps to form an eight LED audio level meter. The op-amp used in this particular circuit is the LM324. It is a popular IC and should be available from many parts stores. The 1K resistors in the circuit are essential so that the.... -
