Ok so here we have one simple calculator which can help us to calculate the shunt resistor value that we need to connect across a normal ammeter when we want to use that ammeter to measure high current, more than its actual range. So normally, ammeter can measure only small current, like 1 amp or […]
Indicator Circuits
Bird in the Nest Indicator Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple infrared based proximity sensor circuit which is implemented to study birds and their behavior, by installing the circuit beside artificially made bird nests. The idea was requested by Mr. Jan Simberg. Technical Specifications I hope you have time to read these few lines. First of all thanx […]
Car Speed Limit Warning Indicator Circuit
In the following post I have explained a simple yet useful car speed limit warning indicator circuit which can be used in vehicles for getting an instant indication of a possible over speed limit conditions. The idea was requested by Mr. Abu-Hafss. Technical Specifications: Shall appreciate, if you could design a circuit to warn with […]
Simple Water Level Indicator Circuits (with Images)
A water level indicator is an electronic circuit which indicates the various levels of water inside a tank. This happens when rising or dropping water levels come in contact with the respective water sensors arranged step wise inside the water tank at different depths. In this post I have explained 2 interesting ways to make […]
IC 741 Low Battery Indicator Circuit
The proposed circuit was requested by one of the avid readers of my blog. It is a low battery warning indicator circuit using op amp IC 741 and can be used for monitoring a particular low battery voltage threshold. Circuit Operation The circuit may be understood with the following points: The entire configuration is wired […]
Make a Simplest Temperature Indicator Circuit
A very simple temperature indicator circuit can be built by interconnecting a single transistor, a diode and a few other passive components. Using Transistor as a Heat Sensor As we know that all semiconductors have this “bad habit” of changing its basic characteristics in response to ambient temperature changes. Especially basic electronic components like transistors […]
