Description. Here is a handy field strength meter that can be used to check the strength of AM radio signals.The circuit is a very useful for those who assemble radio transmitters(especially in the tuning of the final stage for maximum range). The circuit is essentially some sort of a AM receiver it self. The capacitor […]
Description. A simple sawtooth wave generator circuit for generating a saw tooth wave form using a NE555 IC is given below. The frequency of the wave form can be varied by using a POT. The capacitor C, resistor R and zener diode forms a constant current source for charging of the capacitor. When the voltage
Description. Here is a simple variable frequency circuit based on timer NE555. Here NE55 is wired as an astable multivibrator, whose output frequency can be varied by varying a potentiometer. This circuit is a must in the work bench of a electronic hobbyist. Frequencies ranging from several Hz to several KHz can be obtained using
Description. A variety of humidity tester circuits are available, but this is a circuit which is as simple as possible. Using only a transistor, LED and few resistors, this circuit can be used to check the humidity level of materials like soil, paper etc. When the humidity in a substance increases the current conducted throughÂ
Remote control tester Circuit Description This is a simple remote controller tester circuit based on infrared sensor IC TSOP 1738. When the IR waves fall on the sensor it output changes to low state. This makes the transistor Q1 (BC558) ON and LED will blink according to the code contained in the signal. So for
In this circuit tutorial, we’re building a simple Function Generator Circuit which can generate waveforms – Sine waves, Square waves and Triangular waves. The core of this circuit is IC L8038 – which is basically a function generator chip capable of generating different waveforms. Description. The ICL8038 is a function generator chip, capable of generating
Audio Distortion Meter An audio distortion meter is used to measure distortions in, yes you guessed it right, audio. At certain frequencies the sound from most audio devices distorts, they become unclear. Of course, the frequencies and the level of distortions vary from device to device. A distortion meter helps to find the level of
Audio Watt Meter How do you measure the power output of an amplifier? using an Audio Wattmeter. the name Audio Watt Meter’ is a collective name for all devices that are used to measure the output of an amplifier, so many kinds of equipment fall under this category. What we intend in this project is
Car Battery Voltmeter Circuit Description The main onjective of the car batter voltmeter circuit using LED is to work as a warning inducator using a voltmeter circuit to test the life of car batteries. A voltmeter, though can be bought from a store, is designed as a circuit to make the whole arrangement a lot
InfraRed (IR) Sensor/Detector Circuit The IR circuit described below is mainly designed for liquid level detection or proximity detection. The IR sensors used here are an IR LED and an IR photo diode. The circuit operates by detecting the distance from the target by reflection of an infrared beam. The biggest advantage of this circuit is
This is the circuit diagram of a simple corrosion free water level indicator for home and industries. In fact, the level of any conductive non-corrosive liquids can be measured using this circuit. The circuit is based on 5 transistor switches. Each transistor is switched on to drive the corresponding LED when its base is supplied
What is a sound level meter? A sound level meter is handy equipment used to display sound levels. There are wide ranges of these devices; some show a digital numerical output of how many decibels of sound are created while some other shows a bar graph indicator (the decibel meter you see in mission impossible
This is a simple electronic project suitable for everyone. This project is about making a LED bar graph thermometer using two ICs, one for the sensor. What is a bar graph thermometer? A bar graph thermometer is one that shows temperature reading using an array of LEDs instead of a digital numerical output. Here this
