Stud Finder Circuit – Find Hidden Metals Inside Walls
A stud finder is an electronic device specially created for scanning concrete walls and locating metallic objects, such as nails, bolts, pipes, hidden beneath the wall. In the following post I have explained a very simple two-transistor metal detector that you can assemble in an afternoon or two and have fun with using for hours […]
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 […]
