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. […]

Simple Crystal Tester Circuit
In this post I have explained how to build a simple crystal tester circuit using ordinary parts like transistors, resistors, diodes and capacitors. What is a Crystal A crystal can be used for making an electronic oscillator circuit by using the mechanical resonance of a piezoelectric vibrating crystal to generate an electrical frequency having a […]
Shunt Resistor Calculator for Ammeters
Ok so here we have one simple calculator which can help us to calculate the shunt resistor value that we need to connect across a normal ammeter when we want to use that ammeter to measure high current, more than its actual range. So normally, ammeter can measure only small current, like 1 amp or […]
Microamp Meter Circuit
A microamp meter or microammeter is a device that allows the user to measure extremely small current levels, in microamps, which is normally not possible to measure using conventional multimeters. A conventional panel meter or multimeter will not be able to properly measure currents of a few microamps or less. It is required to utilize […]
How to Make a Shunt Resistor
A shunt resistor is a very low value, high wattage resistor which is connected in parallel to a low range meter, so that it helps the meter to substantially increase its measuring capacity. Quite often you might find it hard to measure large currents with a contemporary multimeter. If you’ve ever considered buying an industrial shunt to address […]
Simple IC Tester Circuit [Test Digital and Analogue ICs]
The IC Tester is simple to use. You don’t have any switches to configure or lengthy test processes to complete. The universal IC Tester is a static tester, which means this does not dynamically test the IC’s operation. All ICs with up to 20 pins can be tested by this unit. ICs with more than […]
