In this project, we will show how you can build an ohmmeter using an arduino. An ohmmeter is a device that can measure resistance. Most of the times now, ohmmeters aren’t standalone devices but appear as one of type of measuring device amongst many in a multimeter. An advanced multimeter, today, would have an ohmmeter, […]

Its lifetime may not be quite over yet, but the humble television is facing some stiff competition from the computer, as the entertainment portal of choice. Widespread access to superfast broadband means that users are now able to stream films and television shows, download music and of course browse the net 24/7, from wherever they […]

Many homes in the United States have water that contains higher concentrations of dissolved minerals, which is called hard water. Although there is nothing toxic about hard water, it is less desirable for cleaning, it leaves mineral deposits, and it can shorten the lifetime or efficiency of equipment such as water heaters. A water softener […]

In this project, we will go over how to build an alcohol sensor with an arduino. The alcohol sensor we will use is the MQ-3 sensor. This is a sensor that is not only sensitive to alcohol, particularly ethanol, which is the type of alcohol which is found in wine, beer, and liquor. This type […]

In this project, we will build a liquid level gauge circuit with an arduino. This is a circuit in which a liquid level can be monitored through a gauge. We read the liquid level from the gauge (low, medium, or high), just as you see above. With a microcontroller such as the arduino, building this […]

Several previously published Design Ideas and appnotes [1-4] show how to use many pushbuttons with a minimum number of inputs. They require an RC circuit where the timing can be measured to identify which pushbutton has been pressed, or an ADC input, with resistors forming a divider for each pushbutton pressed. The following Design Idea […]
