Arduino Frequency Meter Using 16 x 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 x 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Arduino based DC Voltmeter Circuit – Construction Details and Testing
In this post, I will show how to construct a DC voltmeter using Arduino where the readings are displayed in 16×2 LCD. The proposed voltmeter design can read up to 30V with tolerance of +/- 0.5 volt. We are going to see how this setup functions and explore other possibilities we can accomplish other than […]
How to Measure Very Low Current [Circuit Diagram]
Accurately measuring very low currents of a few microamps or less using a regular panel meter or multimeter is not feasible. To make such precise measurements, you need to employ an active circuit, like the one depicted here. This circuit low current ammeter circuit can be constructed as a self-contained unit or integrated into an […]
