Neon Lamps – Working and Application Circuits
A neon lamp is a glow lamp made up of a glass cover, fixed with a pair of segregated electrodes and containing an inert gas (neon or argon). The main application of a neon lamp is in the form of indicator lamps or pilot lamps. When supplied with a low voltage, the resistance between the […]
Arduino Barometric Pressure Sensor Circuit – Working and Interfacing Details
In this article we are going to explore, what is a Barometer and how to interface a barometric BMP180 sensor with Arduino. We will also be exploring some of its important specification and finally I have explained how to predict weather using barometric readings. What is Barometer? Barometer is an instrument for measuring atmospheric pressure. […]
Linear Hall-Effect Sensor – Working and Application Circuit
Linear Hall-effect ICs are magnetic sensor devices designed to respond to magnetic fields to produce a proportionate amount of electrical output. It thus becomes useful for measuring the strength of magnetic fields, and in applications that require an output switched through magnetic triggers. The modern hall effect ICs are designed with immunity to most mechanical […]
5kva Ferrite Core Inverter Circuit – Full Working Diagram with Calculation Details
In this post I have explained the construction of a 5000 watt inverter circuit which incorporates a ferrite core transformer and therefore is hugely compact than the conventional iron core counterparts. Block Diagram Please note you can convert this ferrite core inverter to any desired wattage, right from 100 watt to 5 kva or as […]
MQ-135 Air Quality Sensor Circuit – Working and Interfacing with Program Code
In this article I have explained how to interface air quality sensor MQ-135 with Arduino. We will see overview of the sensor and construct a project which detects LPG gas leakage and see some relevant readings in serial monitor. What is MQ-135 sensor? MQ-135 is an air quality or air pollution measuring sensor device. It […]
