In this post we elaborately study how to make an Arduino based PWM signal generator circuit, which can be set or adjusted with a potentiometer or a pot to any preferred duty cycle ratio. WHAT IS PWM? pwm or pulse width modulation as the name itself suggest is modulation of width of the pulses i.e. […]

High Current Motor Control Circuit using Arduino
In this project, I have explained how to control motor speed using Arduino PWM circuit, and how to implement reverse forward or direction control in a DC motor using Arduino through a couple of push button switches. Any high current motor upto 30 amp can be controlled using this set up. Introduction Motor is a […]
Digital Capacitance Meter Circuit Using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct a digital capacitance meter circuit using Arduino which can measure capacitance of capacitors ranging from 1 microfarad to 4000 microfarad with reasonable accuracy. Introduction We measure value of the capacitors when the values written on the capacitor’s body is not legible, or to find the value […]
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 […]
Transformerless AC Voltmeter Circuit Using Arduino
In this article I have explained how to make a transformerless AC voltmeter using Arduino. Making an analog voltmeter is not an easy task as to build one you must have good knowledge of physical quantities like torque, speed; which can be very difficult when it comes to their practical applications. By Ankit Negi But […]
Using Digital Potentiometer MCP41xx With Arduino
In this project we are going to interface a digital potentiometer with arduino. In this demonstration potentiometer MCP41010 is used but you can use any digital potentiometer of MC41** series. By Ankit Negi INTRODUCTION TO MC41010 Digital potentiometers are just like any analog potentiometer with three terminals with only one difference. Whereas in analog one […]
