In some of my earlier articles we have seen a few simple and interesting temperature indicator circuits, in this article we will try to upgrade one of them into a sequential form. All these circuits are useful in some or the other ways, however these are not equipped with step wise temperature level indicator arrangement […]

Difference Between Current and Voltage – What is Voltage, What is Current
The following data explains the important aspects connected with the electrical parameters like voltage and current, the content also explains in simple words how to differentiate the two parameters. What is Current It is the number of electrons flowing at any instant through a conductor or across the positive and the negative of a conductor […]
How to Save Electricity at Home – General Tips
Saving electricity will not only save you some bucks but also help in a social cause. A little awareness and alertness is all that is required for the purpose. A little contemplation will make you consider regarding the amount of electricity we waste everyday due to sheer negligence or ignorance. The article will perfectly explain […]
Introduction to Schmitt Trigger
Almost any digital circuit used in modern high-speed data communications needs some form of Schmitt trigger action on its inputs. Why Schmitt Trigger is Used The main purpose of a Schmitt trigger here is to eliminate noise and interference on data lines and provide a nice clean digital output with fast edge transitions. The rise […]
Basics of Strain Gauge Measurements
The strain gauge is one of the most useful tools for precisely measuring expansion or contraction of a material as forces are applied. Strain gauges are also useful for measuring applied forces indirectly if they are aligned approximately linearly with the deformation of the material. What are Strain Gauges Strain gauges are sensors whose electrical […]
How to use Eagle CAD
Eagle CAD is a Professional PCB design package from the German company CadSoft. It offers an array of licenses, some of which allow individuals to use the package virtually free of charge. The learning curve may be a bit steep, but then Computer Aided Drafting is hardly simple, and most CAD packages have steep learning […]
