Simple Vibration Sensor Circuit
As its name suggests, this simple vibration sensor circuit using piezo transducer allows for the detection of vibrations to which its sensor is subjected. Unlike superficial pressure sensors whose resistance varies depending on the force they are subjected to, the transducer used here is only sensitive to variations in pressure exerted on its sensitive face. […]
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 […]
