.. one? If you can do it better, then do it. So what's better about my design (Figure 1)? Figure 1. USB Voltage/Current Meter measures voltages up to 22 volts and current up to 5 amps. The USB Voltage/Current meter has the following ...
.. battery testers. For today’s tutorial, we will add another tool to the list by examining the development of a Miliohm meter (Figure 1). Figure 1. Arduino based Milliohm Meter with LCD display. A milliohm meter is a device used in ...
.. previous Design Idea describes an interesting and useful method for using a moving-coil analog meter to measure currents in the less-than-1A range ( Reference 1 ). The design offers considerable flexibility in ...
.. diode-drops’-worth in the process. (No, the V F s don’t match exactly, except momentarily, but no matter.) The meter now shows the log of negative-input half-cycle peaks, the needle falling back as the capacitor discharges ...
.. the end of the DI for a Simple log-scale audio meter (Ref. 1), I promised to show how to upgrade it to work better. With these fixes, it now has near-digital ...
Let’s see how you can effectively double the output sink current of the plain old 555 timer. From the block diagram in Figure 1 taken from the datasheet of the ST’s TS555 low power single CMOS timer) we can see that the Discharge pin ...
.. This Design Idea applies essentially the same principle to analog meters under normal operating conditions. Connecting a meter to a voltage source with low internal resistance applies electromagnetic damping and makes the meter's ...
