LED Oscilloscope Circuit
The simple LED oscilloscope circuit I have explained in this article can be used for analyzing low frequency waveform through a 10 x 10 LED matrix display. Due to the involvement of only 100 LEDs in the display board, the resolution is low, and the waveform display clarity is not so impressive. Yet, this LED […]
Light Meter Circuit with LED Bar Graph
In this article I have explained 3 different light meter circuits for measuring power of light. In the first method we will use only a solar cell and a multimeter, in the second method we will use an op amp and a moving coil meter, and in the third method we will see how a […]
Simple LED Forward Voltage Drop Tester Circuit
Semiconductor LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) produce light when current flows through them. In comparison to conventional lighting sources, LEDs offer a number of benefits, including high energy efficiency, extended longevity, and low thermal output. The forward voltage drop of an LED is one of the important factors that affects how well leds performs. We will […]
LED Brightness and Efficiency Tester Circuit
In this post I have explained a simple LDR brightness and efficiency tester circuit set up using an LDR and a digital Ohm meter. The idea was requested by Mr. Prashant Technical Specifications I want to check brightness and light of 1 watt led. Can i check it with help of ldr. Bekoz luminous sensor […]
Semiconductor Tester Circuit [LED, Transistor, SCR Tester]
The semiconductor tester circuit I have explained below performs continuity tests on SCRs, bipolar transistors, and diodes. How the Circuit Works A squarewave oscillator with a frequency of about 350 Hz is produced by a couple of IC 4049 gates, U1a along with U1b, R1, R2, and C1. The complementary outputs required for testing both NPN and […]
