We had a project that required connection to a digital micrometer with a data output jack. The idea was to connect a microcontroller to the micrometer, to read the measurements and make decisions based on the readings. The micrometers that we used are made by Mitutoyo, and have a funky 52 character data stream in […]

GoFly is a project based on PNA (car navigation devices with Windows CE), LK8000 tactical fligh computer software and variometer (altimeter) external input based on Arduino board and pressure sensor. Why? -You can build this for about 150$, -Your ordinary PNA (Personal Navigation Assistant) changes to really nice, high end flying computer, with lot of
DIY wattmeter with an Arduino Measuring power and energy using regular multimeters can be challenging or even unfeasible at times. In order to conduct such a precise and reliable measurement, a specific wattmeter is necessary. Due to their high cost, an alternative option is introduced in the form of a homemade wattmeter using an Arduino
Being electronics engineers, we consistently rely on meters and instruments to gauge and study the functionality of a circuit. From basic multimeters to advanced power quality analyzers or DSOs, each device serves specific purposes. Many of these gauges are easily accessible and can be bought depending on the measurements needed and their precision. However, there

Displayed is an audio meter based on Arduino that utilizes a liquid crystal display (LCD). A VU meter, also known as a standard volume indicator (SVI), is a tool that shows the signal level in audio equipment. This project involves displaying the intensity of left and right audio signals as bars on a 16×2 LCD
The project is basically to detect the theft from the energy meter used in households as well as in… Description The project is basically to detect the theft from the energy meter used in households as well as in the commercial sector. There is two based meter one for distribution line and one for the
Today, we will be measuring weight by connecting a Load Cell and HX711 Weight Sensor with Arduino. Weight machines can be found in various stores, and they show the weight when an item is placed on the weighing platform. Thus, we are constructing a weighing device with Arduino and load cells capable of measuring up

I have a late 80’s VW and the gauge cluster has 5 dummy LED locations underneath the other warning lights. Well I was tired of the m not doing anything, so I decided to do something about it. I came up with the idea to put a lateral gravitational force mater (G Meter) in there
This drawing will display RF power and SWR readings from any SWR bridge, such as the ‘monimatch’ type. Since this type of bridge, called ‘monimatch,’ varies with frequency, the meter needs to be adjusted for each bandwidth. My main focus was on VHF/UHF/SHF, so I had planned for 6m, 4m, 2m, 70 cm, 23cm, and
Sometimes voltage fluctuations occur in the main electricity supply in our homes offices etc. These fluctuations can occur due to the interruption of heavy load, lightning and switching impulses. This can lead to the electronics part damage and sometimes causes major accidents. Voltage fluctuation or irregularities are also major issues in industrial appliances and often
