Simple 1.5 V Inductance Meter Circuit
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, […]

What is a Logic Probe A logic probe circuit is a handheld electronic tool which can be used to test […]
How to Measure Transformer’s Current Capacity
We can use a shunt resistor and ammeter concept to find out how much maximum current a transformer can give, in other words, we are trying to know the current rating or amp capacity of a transformer. If you do not wish to read the full article below, you can feel free to watch the […]
DSO138: Best Small Oscilloscope for Electronic Hobbyists
An oscilloscope is a device that measures and analyses signals in circuits. It’s an indispensable equipment for everyone who works with electronic circuits since it enables them to see the activity of a wave in real – time basis. The DSO138 is one of the most popular oscilloscopes on the market today. We’ll give a […]
How to Connect Digital Ammeter, Voltmeter Modules M4430, M3430
In this post I will be talking about the Chinese M4430 digital ammeter, voltmeter module which is a really neat, compact digital meter that you can mount on a panel. Whats great about it is that it is designed to measure and show us both the DC voltage and the current at the same time. […]
