In this article we are going to explore, what is a Barometer and how to interface a barometric BMP180 sensor with Arduino. We will also be exploring some of its important specification and finally I have explained how to predict weather using barometric readings. What is Barometer? Barometer is an instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure. […]

Vibration Meter Circuit for Detecting Vibration Strength
In this article I have explained a couple of simple vibration meter circuits which can detect and measure the strength of mechanical vibrations. Video Clip demonstrating the Vibration meter working The proposed circuits are built using transistors and also with an IC for getting a bar graph LED sequence for the level indications. The bar […]
Simple Vibration Sensor Circuit
As its name suggests, this simple vibration sensor circuit using piezo transducer allows for the detection of vibrations to which its sensor is subjected. Unlike superficial pressure sensors whose resistance varies depending on the force they are subjected to, the transducer used here is only sensitive to variations in pressure exerted on its sensitive face. […]
Make an LED AC Voltage Indicator Monitor Circuit
The LED AC mains voltage level indicator is a circuit that can be used for displaying and monitoring the instantaneous voltage level of any 220 V or 120 V mains home AC input, through a correspondingly rising and falling LED bar graph. A simple construction and accurate result are the main features of this tiny […]
Field Strength Meter Circuit
A field strength meter is an electronic device which is used for detecting and measuring the RF radiation generated from any RF transmitter circuit. As we all know that transmitter circuits invariably use an inductor/capacitor based LC resonating circuit, also called the tank circuit, which oscillates at a specified resonating frequency to transmit the frequency […]
Make this Thermo-Touch Operated Switch Circuit
The circuit explained here employs a rather different approach for implementing a touch operated switch action. Here instead of the resistance, the warmth of the finger is used for sensing and operating the circuit’s output. Irrespective of the ambient conditions, our hands and fingers mostly exhibits some extra warmth or increase in the level of […]
