The following simple analogue frequency meter circuits can be used for measuring frequencies which may be either sine wave or square wave. The input frequency which is to be measured must be at least 25 mV RMS, for optimal detection and measurement. The design facilitates a relatively wide range of frequency measurement, right from 10 […]

RTD Temperature Meter Circuit
In this post I have explained the making of an RTD temperature meter circuit, and also learn about different RTDs and their working principles through formulas. What’s an RTD A RTD or resistance temperature detector works by detecting the difference or an increase in the resistance of the sensor metal when it’s subjected to heat. […]
Simple Analogue Weighing Scale Meter Circuit
Learn a super simple procedure to make a weighing scale meter circuit useful for measuring smaller magnitudes of weight. The Concept The concept is very simple, a light beam is allowed to pass through a linearly colored ribbon and fall over an LDR. The color shade of the ribbon positioned in front of the light […]
Satellite Signal Strength Meter Circuit
Here I have explained how to make a simple inexpensive satellite signal strength meter which can be used for aligning dish antennas with local satellites in order to achieve the correct positioning and maximum signal strength from the antenna. How LNB Works The LNBs that are used for receiving satellite signals (digital or analogue) are […]
Alcohol Detector Meter Circuit using MQ-3 Sensor Module
An alcohol detector is a sensitive device which is able to detect the presence of alcohol molecules or any similar volatile inflammable element in the air and convert it into equivalent level of electrical output. The simple alcohol detector circuit discussed here will accurately sense the emanation of alcohol gas from a selected source, such […]
4 Simple VU Meter Circuits Explained
In this post I have explained how to build 4 interesting VU meter circuits, using LEDs and using a moving coil meter. What is a VU Meter VU meter or a volume unit meter circuit is a device used for indicating the music volume output from an amplifier or a loudspeaker system. It may be […]
