The articles explains a digital thermometer circuit project that works without a battery. Instead of a battery the circuit utilizes a small solar cell and operates by deriving power from the ambient light available from the surrounding light sources. This allows the circuit to be extremely compact, light weight, versatile and hassle free while measuring […]
Meters and Testers
Simple Transformer Winding Tester Circuit
This test set is primarily designed to test step-down, step-up transformers, for open and shorted winding. It can determine if the device under test has a low resistance to ac current. It can also measure the dc current resistancein ohms. By Henry Bowman Introduction The test set uses a 16 VAC, 60hz signal to determine […]
Simple Arduino Digital Ohmmeter Circuit
In this post I will show how to construct a simple digital ohmmeter circuit using Arduino and 16×2 LCD display. We will also be exploring the other possible circuit ideas using the same concept. Circuit Objective The motto of this article is not just making an ohm meter to measure the resistance; your multimeter can […]
Testing Alternator Current using Dummy Load
In this post I have explained a method of checking or verifying alternator maximum current delivering capacity using a shunt regulator as the dummy load and an ammeter. The idea was inquired by Mr. Joe. Circuit Question I need help designing an electronic dummy load that can handle high enough power from motorcycle alternator. I […]
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 […]
Make this Digital Temperature, Humidity Meter Circuit using Arduino
In our previous article, I have explained how to interface temperature humidity sensor with arduino and read out displayed on serial monitor of arduino IDE. In this post I have explained how to display the reading on a 16×2 LCD display for the proposed digital temperature/humidity meter using Arduino. Introduction This project may be used […]
