Here we are going to learn one cool and very important current sensor device which we call ACS712. This small chip that look just like a normal 8-pin IC, is actually able to sense current from any load and give us a proportional analog voltage output which we can easily feed to Arduino or any […]

INA219 Current Sensor Circuit Diagram and Datasheet
In this post we are going to understand this sensor called INA219, and this one is like a full smart sensor. It not only tells how much current is flowing but also tells voltage, and also calculates power, all in digital form. That means it talks with microcontroller through I2C lines. It is like an […]
Make this 220V to 12V SMPS Using UC2842 IC
This UC2842 IC based SMPS design is simple, cheap and efficient kind of isolated power supply. We can use it in off-line stuff like AC-DC adapters, battery chargers and all those small power supplies. What is cool? It takes that high voltage AC then steps it down and then keeps input and output fully isolated […]
Smart Bathroom Exhaust Fan Controller Circuit with Sensors
So here we are now making one automatic smart exhaust fan controller system using Arduino UNO which will work for three bathrooms that are all connected to a single ventilation pipe and one common exhaust fan. This whole project is going to be based on PIR sensors for human detection, VOC sensors for odor detection […]
How to Measure Transformer’s Current Capacity
We can use a shunt resistor and ammeter concept to find out how much maximum current a transformer can give, in other words, we are trying to know the current rating or amp capacity of a transformer. If you do not wish to read the full article below, you can feel free to watch the […]
Simple H-Bridge Inverter Circuit using IR2184 ICs
In this post we will try to understand this full bridge or H-bridge inverter circuit using IR2184 ICs. Let us begin breaking it down section by section. If you do not want to read the full article, you can simply watch the following video instead: What This Circuit is Doing: So here basically we are […]
