In this post, I will show how to construct a DC voltmeter using Arduino where the readings are displayed in 16×2 LCD. The proposed voltmeter design can read up to 30V with tolerance of +/- 0.5 volt. We are going to see how this setup functions and explore other possibilities we can accomplish other than […]

Temperature Controlled DC Fan Circuits
Have you ever turned up your amplifier all the way, either at a party or just for fun? You may have noticed that “it gets hot” and thought that a fan would be useful. However, at low listening levels, you can hear the fan running. With this circuit, the fan will be automatically controlled by […]
SMPS DC CDI Circuit for Motorcycles using Ferrite Core Transformer
The circuit presented here is for a DC-CDI which are used in motorcycles. A DC-CDI is the one in which the high voltage (200-400VDC) is converted from 12V supply voltage. Researched and Submitted by: Abu-Hafss Studying the circuit, we see that it has two parts i.e. the smps CDI unit, enclosed in the pink box […]
How to Build a 220V DC Inverter UPS Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple 220 V to 220V DC online UPS inverter circuit. The idea was requested by Mr. Taiye. Technical Specifications I intend to build a 1000 watt UPS with a different concept (inverter with high voltage input dc). I will use a battery bank of 18 to 20 sealed […]
Temperature Triggered DC Fan Speed Controller
This fan speed controller works by sensing the temperature of the engine and is accordingly used for the triggering. As the temperature increases so does the speed of the fan motor and vice versa. Circuit Operation Operation of the proposed temperature controlled fan may be understood as follows: The speed of the DC motor alters […]
SPDT Solid State DC Relay Circuit using MOSFET
In this post we’ll study a simple high current mosfet based SPDT DC relay, which can be used in place conventional bulky SPDT mechanical relays. The idea was requested by Mr. Abu-Hafss. Working Concept A simple high current SPDT solid state DC relay or a DC SSR can be constructed using a couple of mosfets […]
