Lathe Machine Over Load Protector Circuit
In this article I have explained a simple overload cut off circuit for safeguarding heavy mains operated machines such as a lathe machine. The idea was requested by Mr. Howard Dean. Technical Specifications May I first say I have very little knowledge of electronics although I could follow a simple diagram. I operate a small […]
Simple Voltage-to-Current and Current-to-Voltage Techniques – By James H. Reinholm
There are many types of voltage-to-current and current-to-voltage converter circuits, and most of them use a combination of opamps and transistors to achieve a high level of accuracy. But when high accuracy isn’t necessary, a simple converter of this type can be made using just one or two resistors. Resistor as Voltage to Current Converter […]
