In this article I have explained a couple of simple vibration meter circuits which can detect and measure the strength of mechanical vibrations. Video Clip demonstrating the Vibration meter working The proposed circuits are built using transistors and also with an IC for getting a bar graph LED sequence for the level indications. The bar […]

6 Simple Capacitance Meter Circuits Explained – Using IC 555 and IC 74121
In this post I will talk about 6 easy yet accurate capacitance meter circuits using the ubiquitous IC 555 and many other easily available ICs. How Capacitors Work Capacitors are one of the main electronic components which come under the passive component family. These are extensively used in electronic circuits and virtually no circuit can […]
AC Millivolts Meter Circuit Using IC 741
In this article we study an op amp based millivolt meter circuit designed to measure AC millivolts accurately, I have explained the details from the following explanation. The circuit shown below can be used to measure DC potentials in the range of milli-volts. The circuit is highly sensitive and is calibrated to measure voltages in […]
Field Strength Meter Circuit
A field strength meter is an electronic device which is used for detecting and measuring the RF radiation generated from any RF transmitter circuit. As we all know that transmitter circuits invariably use an inductor/capacitor based LC resonating circuit, also called the tank circuit, which oscillates at a specified resonating frequency to transmit the frequency […]
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 […]
Grid Dip Meter Circuit
A dip meter or a grid dip meter can be considered as a kind of frequency meter whose function is to determine the resonant frequency of an LC circuit. For this, the circuits don’t have to ‘radiate’ any waves or frequency across each other. Instead, the procedure is implemented simply by placing the coil of […]
