For measuring high inductance like 100H, the bridge we use is: James Clerk Maxwell Bridge which people also call Maxwell Inductance-Capacitance Bridge. It is made for medium to high Q inductors but when the inductance is large then it still behaves nicely, so people mostly prefer this one. Basic Concept Basic idea of the bridge […]

Arduino Frequency Meter Using 16×2 Display
In this article I will show how to construct a digital frequency meter using Arduino whose readings will be showcased on a 16×2 LCD display and will have a measuring range from 35 Hz to 1MHz. Introduction Being electronics enthusiast, we all would have come across a point where we need to measure frequency in […]
Making a Single Channel Oscilloscope using Arduino
In this interesting post, we are going to make a simple single channel oscilloscope using Arduino and a personal computer, where the waveforms will be showcased on the PC’s display and frequency and time period of the input waves will be displayed on the 16 x 2 display. Introduction Every electronics enthusiast once said “I […]
Digital Capacitance Meter Circuit Using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct a digital capacitance meter circuit using Arduino which can measure capacitance of capacitors ranging from 1 microfarad to 4000 microfarad with reasonable accuracy. Introduction We measure value of the capacitors when the values written on the capacitor’s body is not legible, or to find the value […]
Arduino Tachometer Circuit for Precise Readings
A tachometer is a device that measures the RPM or angular velocity of a rotating body. It differs from speedometer and odometer as these devices deal with linear or tangential velocity of the body while tachometer a.k.a. “tach” deals with more fundamental the RPM. Introduction Tachometer is composed of a counter and a timer both […]
Transformerless AC Voltmeter Circuit Using Arduino
In this article I have explained how to make a transformerless AC voltmeter using Arduino. Making an analog voltmeter is not an easy task as to build one you must have good knowledge of physical quantities like torque, speed; which can be very difficult when it comes to their practical applications. By Ankit Negi But […]
