A 2004 Chevy Tahoe that totally lost power. I was driving at 60 mph and watched my tachometer drop to nothing. It has been in the shop for three days now, and they are having trouble figuring out what is wrong. They have tried a couple things but the engine.... -
Direct-reading" SWR meters that automatically compute the ratio of Forward and Reverse powers (i. e. you don`t have to adjust any sensitivity controls). Several years ago I built one to a design by G3WPO that was sold as a kit by Cirkit. It worked quite.... -
A very precise digital thermometer with LM35 probe (0, 1 degree of freedom). The circuit has two adjustments. One of them, R5, adjusts the displays to 0. To perform this, we have to connect the extreme part of R4 (that goes to the temperature probe) to the.... -
This simple circuit is based on the well-known integrated circuit LM3915. The main characteristic of this integrated circuit is its power to manage 10 LED-s (Light Emitting Diodes) in logarithmic scale with a difference between the 3dB LED-s, which it can.... -
Building an LC meter for a while since I do not have a multimeter that is capable of measuring inductance and while the multimeters I have can measure capacitance, they are not able to give accurate readings for small capacitance in the range of several.... -
This is my student assignment for the class "Designing Microprocessor Based Instrumentation". The board demonstrates the use of 12-bit ADC, writing c program with digital filtering and interface the LED display. The reading provides 0. 1C sensitivity. The.... -
As you are probably familiar, an accelerometer is a device that can measure dynamic acceleration (vibrations) and static acceleration (gravity). Being that it measures this, it can measure tilts, rotations, and movements/lack-of-movements for alarm system.... -
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.... -
The idea for this circuit came when the author had problems with the wireless speedometer on his bicycle. Such a device consists of two parts: the cycle computer itself and a transmitter that is mounted on the front fork. A small magnet is attached to the.... -
This circuit is intended for precision centigrade temperature measurement, with a transmitter section converting to frequency the sensor`s output voltage, which is proportional to the measured temperature. The output frequency bursts are conveyed into the.... -
Although it does not have the same charm as real mercury barometers with long glass tubes on pieces of carved and polished wood, the Torricelli barometer discussed here is a functional equivalent and electronic replica of the Torricelli barometer. Actually,.... -
As electrolytic capacitors age, their internal resistance, also known as "equivalent series resistance" (ESR), gradually increases. This can eventually lead to equipment failure. Using this design, you can measure the ESR of suspect capacitors as well as.... -
Here is a Simple LED Volt meter to Monitor the charge level in Lead Acid Battery or Tubular battery. The terminal voltage of the battery is indicated through a four level LED indicators. The nominal terminal voltage of a Lead Acid battery is 13. 8 volts and.... -
The National Semiconductor LMV225 is a linear RF power meter IC in an SMD package. It can be used over the frequency range of 450 MHz to 2000 MHz and requires only four external components. The input coupling capacitor isolates the DC voltage of the IC from.... -
Many passive field strength meters have appeared in the past, typically using a 50mA analog meter movement if reasonable sensitivity was to be obtained. This circuit is similar but has the advantage that it works with the high-impedance load of a digital.... -
Being able to determine the polarity (cathode versus anode) and basic functionality of a diode is a very important skill for the electronics hobbyist or technician to have. Since we know that a diode is essentially nothing more than a one-way valve for....
