Here a simplest yet quite accurate inductance meter is presented, which can be built within few minutes. Furthermore, the circuit can be powered-up with a single 1.5V cell. However, a frequency meter would be required to work-out the inductance. Designed and Presented by: Abu-Hafss Using Cross-Coupled NPN BJTs The circuit is pretty straight forward wherein, […]

LM317 IC Tester Circuit – Sort Out Good ICs from Faulty Ones
Here is simple but handy testing circuit for LM317 adjustable voltage regulator IC. I am sure it can be used to test other similar ICs like LM117, LM158, LM358 etc. The circuit is pretty straightforward. The circuit is based on normal configuration of adjustable voltage regulator. How it Works For details follow https://www.homemade-circuits.com/2011/12/how-to-build-simplest-variable-power.html A DPDT […]
Satellite Signal Strength Meter Circuit
Here I have explained how to make a simple inexpensive satellite signal strength meter which can be used for aligning dish antennas with local satellites in order to achieve the correct positioning and maximum signal strength from the antenna. How LNB Works The LNBs that are used for receiving satellite signals (digital or analogue) are […]
Accurate Speedometer Circuit
Here we’ll see how a simple yet accurate analogue speedometer circuit can be constructed at home using just a single IC and a few external passive components. The speedometer can be universally used with all 2-wheeler, 3-wheeler, even in bicycles for indicating their speeds. Using Frequency to Voltage Converter In my previous article I have […]
Homemade Inductance Meter Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple yet accurate, wide range inductance meter circuit. The design utilizes only transistors as the main active components and a handful of inexpensive passive components. The proposed Inductance meter circuit can measure inductance or coil values accurately over the given ranges and as a bonus the circuit is […]
Digital Voltmeter Circuit Using IC L7107
In this post I have explained a very simple digital panel type voltmeter circuit using a single IC L7107 and a few other ordinary components. The circuit is able to measure voltages right up to 2000 AC/DC V. About the IC L7107 Making this simple digital panel voltmeter circuit is particularly easy due to the availability […]
