In this post I will show how to construct a battery eliminator / DC variable power supply which will automatically cut-off the supply, if the current flow through the load exceeds the preset threshold level. Main Technical Features The proposed over current cut-off power supply circuit using Arduino has 16 X 2 LCD display, which is […]

Make this Advanced Digital Ammeter using Arduino
In this post I will show how to construct a digital ammeter using 16 x 2 LCD display and Arduino. We will understand the methodology of measuring current using a shunt resistor and implement a design based on Arduino. The proposed digital ammeter can measure current ranging from 0 to 2 Ampere (absolute maximum) with […]
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 […]
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 […]
