Make this Digital Temperature, Humidity Meter Circuit using Arduino
In our previous article, I have explained how to interface temperature humidity sensor with arduino and read out displayed on serial monitor of arduino IDE. In this post I have explained how to display the reading on a 16×2 LCD display for the proposed digital temperature/humidity meter using Arduino. Introduction This project may be used […]
Battery Full Charge Indicator Circuit using Two Transistors
This little circuit will alert the user regarding a battery reaching its full-charge level (over charge) while it’s being charged, by illuminating an LED. The circuit uses just a couple of transistors as the main active components. Main Feature The main feature of this design is not only its mini design but also its supply […]
Battery Backup Time Indicator Circuit
In this post I have explained a battery backup time indicator circuit for monitoring the battery power usage by the connected load and for estimating the approximate remaining backup time of the battery. The idea was requested by Mr. Mehran Manzoor. Circuit Objectives and Requirements I want a circuit which shows remaining time of backup […]
